The suit has to be exciting, with the classic red and blue color scheme consistently hitting the mark for the mostcomics-accurate Spider-Man movie suits. Peter Parker’s characterization and the wall-crawler’s powers also need to be on point.

Famously, the practical approach was taken for key moments, and it could now work well for Holland’s Marvel hero.
