Our Spidey-senses are tingling: Tom Holland has revealed how Spider-Man's suit redesign in Brand New Day hits a little closer to home for the wallcrawler. No Way Home, that is.

"When we decided we were going to make Spider-Man: Brand New Day, we said: 'What if we made a suit that was an homage to Tobey [Maguire] and Andrew [Garfield's] designs?' Because my Peter Parker had met those guys," Holland explained in a new vignette, which you can see below.

"We created a 'Spider-Child' of all three costumes. Everything had to fit in the world of Peter Parker and we went back to that dumpster-diver kid [from Spider-Man: Homecoming]."

As you can see, there is more raised webbing – fans of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man designs will surely approve – and more pronounced side folds and chest logo, which closely resembles that of Andrew Garfield's Amazing Spider-Man suit.

Brand New Day's Spidey get-up isn't just a blast from the past, however. It's also designed to be practical and feel like someone is actually behind the mask.

"We are embracing the folds and wrinkles when it moves," director Destin Daniel Cretton added. "You can see the human beneath the material."

As the name might suggest, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a do-over on more than just Spidey's sartorial side.

With the world forgetting Spider-Man's secret identity, Peter Parker is pushed into battle with an unseen villain – with Tom Holland teasing that the true Big Bad hasn't yet been revealed. In the wings, former BFF Ned Leeds (Jacob Batalon) has launched his Spidey-Tracker and former flame MJ (Zendaya) once again enters Peter's orbit…

Spider-Man also has to contend with Jon Bernthal's The Punisher, Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner, and an unknown character played by Sadie Sink, who may or may not be Jean Grey . Let's hope Pete has made backups of his suit.
