The Amazing Spiderman (Reboot) Costumes and Wardrobe

Re: Spiderman Reboot Costumes and Wardrobe

Despite the suit, I have faith. Anything is better than Spiderman 3, that movie blew. Andrew Garfield is a good actor. Just because the shots of them filming aren't great, doesn't mean the film will suck. Yeah, the actor is skinny, but Peter Parker is a nerdy photographer. He doesn't live in the gym. He gets powers, so he doesn't need to be that big.
 
Re: Spiderman Reboot Costumes and Wardrobe

not that this makes a difference, but aren't most of those suit pics from stunt scenes? In which case a stuntman would be wearing it? Why all the hate on poor Andrew Garfields legs?!

I agree with the agility comment, too. And if anyone learned anything from Fight Club it's that you never underestimate skinny guys, they never go limp in a fight. lol

And also, is the costume and actor really being judged based on a still photo? Are all you guys REALLY going to be looking at Spidermans legs the whole film and letting that be a factor as to why he is a sub-par Spiderman?
 
Re: Spiderman Reboot Costumes and Wardrobe

Did i mention i wanted the hulk in a spidey suit? NO. Sorry, but this lad is TOO gangly for me, its called personal taste ya see! Bulk, is for Venom, Spidey, a bit more athletic than what im seeing here.

Oh, and the new suit, still not growing on me, the first darkened shot without mask, i kinda liked, the daylight shots with mask and silver Ballet slippers........Manga gimp suit.

I completely understand, I wasn't trying to dump on your opinion, sorry if it seemed like that.

aelynn000, I agree, it IS just a stuntman. Andrew could look different in the suit.

Either way, I don't think there will be enough focus on his legs in the movie for it to matter. :lol To me, skinny is suitable for 'Spiderman'. Spiders are have long and gangly legs anyways!! .... maybe that's what they were going for? :lol I'm still intrigued to see what the villain will look like on such a small budget. That is what's going to make or break it for me ( well... at least the parts with the villain ).
 
Re: Spiderman Reboot Costumes and Wardrobe

Guys, looking at mens legs is a pastime for me........:lol. I guess the stunt factor is a good theory fella's.

Spiderfan, its all good bud, healthy banter :).

Hmm, ya know, i was quick to bag on the ballet slippers, but, im now pondering, if this is a stunt, on concrete, they could be a slip on cover/protection for the toes and heel's of the feet? Why there Hi viz though, i dont know.

Ill simmer down though and say, upper torso, doesnt look to bad, lithe, but those legs.....its worse then Tobey knock knee's hehe.

One thing I am happy on though, no more organic webbing, thats just plain heresy.

Re: Spiderman Reboot Costumes and Wardrobe

I agree, just because looking back on some of the older comics, he still looks like a kid in the costume. I think as he aged it was more appropriate to have him be more muscular.


Thank you!

Guys! This is a YOUNG Spider-Man! When he started, he was 15! And he wasn't the kind of 15 year old who spent his time in the gym. For those of you who are going to give the "his powers made him more muscular" argument, thats just not true. In the comics, the younger Peter was always small. And just as another example, just because Superman can bench press a skyscraper, doesn't mean he physically looks like he can.

People have to keep in mind that the look (I don't know about the rest, impossible to tell yet) of this Spider-Man is supposed to be based on the Ultimates series (which is why the upcoming animated series is too). He was skinny. He looks like a teenager, unlike 30-something Maguire in the first movie. The costume isn't that far off, and comparatively is no farther from the source material than the movie batsuits. They also had to change up the design of the suit somehow, to differentiate themselves from the previous series for the average movie-goer.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm much more interested in how they will portray Parker's CHARACTER in the film, than the exact specifics of the costume. People are complaining that he looks "Twilight-y?" I can't see anyway to make Peter Parker any more like a Twilight character unless they cover the damn costume in glitter. The last trilogy had a mopey, whiney character, that spent every minute of the movie pining over an unattractive love interest who he "couldn't be with." I want to see my dorky Peter Parker, who gets infinitly more confident when he puts the suit on, or at least tries to make it look that way. Spider-Man may have the "Parker luck," but he's also a FUN character! Lets hear some banter!!

Did i read right, that this is all going to lead to Venom at some point, or is that just speculation right now?
If so, id love to see the whole Stan Carter thing played out over the course....if thats the plan that is.

I would assume that's just a rumor. There isn't even a definite confirmation on which villain(s) will appear in this one. It seemed to me like they actually might be leading into the Goblin(s) for the next one. They have Nels Van Adder (played by Irrfan Khan) who was Proto-goblin in the comics, so that sounded like it could be an intentional nod/lead-in to the goblin saga. I just hope they don't actually have him turn into Proto-Goblin in the movie. That would be a waste of a villain time-slot since before he was announced as being cast, I had never even heard of the character, and I consider myself a pretty big Spiderman fan. I'm hoping his character is more of an evil scientist instead of a supervillain. They can associate him with Oscorp and pave the way for future goblins.

I'm guessing they'll kill Gwen off in the middle of the series to introduce MJ in the 3rd.

This is all speculation of course, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see :)

Also a valid point lol.

As far as what the villain will look like on such a budget, I don't think I would worry about it. If anyone is dying for a special effects driven movie made on a low budget to compare it to, check out District 9. Reportedly, it was made for a budget of only $30 million. That should reassure everyone that this movie will not be lacking in the visual effects, even if the Lizard is the villain and is 100% CGI. In D9, one of the main characters, Christopher, is an all CG alien and in it for the whole film, not to mention robotic exo-suits, spaceships, and hundreds of other prawn aliens in the background, and they all looked amazing.

I think the thinness makes him look 'spidery'. Don't like the leg stripe.
 
Re: Spiderman Reboot Costumes and Wardrobe

And on CBM they found an alternate reality (Marvel Knights) storyline, Spider-Man: With Great Power, which very likely may be the inspiration for the new costume:

Re: Spiderman Reboot Costumes and Wardrobe

I hope they don't do the eyes with the lashes like that...
 
Re: Spiderman Reboot Costumes and Wardrobe

No lashes.... the lenses themselves are definitely gold though.
Looks like they might be using a half-face shell again?

Darkened crotch?

Also, anybody else notice the heavy duty Velcro they used to stick him to the side of the truck? haha

...darnit, still haven't gotten a look at the back spider yet.
 
Re: Spiderman Reboot Costumes and Wardrobe

Good find.
looks like the boots are separate from the suit.

Im kinda liking the rounder eyes.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that they are 'separate'... But perhaps they were attached separately. (Spiderman 3, if you recall had several suits... Only one of which had removable boots because they needed to film Tobey emptying sand out of his boots)
-For filming purposes: having separate boots *could* be problematic during the filming of stunt-heavy action sequences. If I was the designer I wouldn't do it.

Otherwise,
-The boots look like they actually form well around the ankle, something that with the last suits was a problem area. (Bunching, and heel stretching anyone?)
-They also appear to have an Ankle zipper at the inseam. This makes me think that the material is probably thicker, thus requiring a zipper to get into.
>Could this suit be comprised of more materials than just lycra?
> Or, could it still be lycra, but the printing techniques have added so much weight to the material it has lost its elasticity.

Just some things to think about.

Sorry for the double post:
I wasn't going to put this picture up, but there are a couple more interesting things to note:
-Maybe it's just me: But that side seam is reacting like it's got the invisible zipper there.
>Could this also be a 3-zip entry?
-There is a leather sole on the bottom of his boot:
Could this one be based on a boxer (or wrestler's) boot, instead of an acrobatic shoe?

I really think those silver "boots" are just to support the stunt mans ankles during filming. I don't think we will see them in the final cut of the movie

Really?:unsure

Why wouldn't they be red then?
Or if they're only a practical element to be later removed... why are they a polished design element that has been integrated into the suit?

This is what an ankle brace looks like:
