Some of the early artwork behind Spider-Man's biggest movie yet arrives on August 18th with Spider-Man: Brand New Day - The Art of the Movie, perfect for fans wanting to see some of the unused ideas and designs that didn't make the cut. Before then, check out just some of the interesting inclusions found inside!
Before we begin, you can also read my in-depth review of the book if you haven't already, that, like this article, is also spoiler free and only shares what is included in the trailer. It's also worth noting that Sadie Sink's character, the third act, and more are not included in the book, so you won't find details for those here.
The Spider-Man Suit
At the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home, we got a glimpse of Peter's homemade suit, very much in the classic style from the comics. This style doesn't change for the new movie, but there have been some updates, with the material and its shine being one of them.
As you can see below, there are different tones to the blue, which is also explored more on additional pages. Head of Visual Development and artist Ryan Meinerding said the following in the book; “What we ended up coming to was the notion of getting a bit of shine in the red to match the blue, while toning the blue down a little bit”. This is reflected in the movie, which retains the colours, but loses some of that reflective quality.
The Fabricator
There are a number of concepts for Peter's fabricator, which as confirmed by artist Alex Mandradjiev, is based on a sewing machine, as seen in the spread of his art below. All of the technology is made by Peter himself now that he doesn't have the help of Tony Stark, Happy, or other heroes. There is also art of a large treadmill that wasn't used in the final movie, likely custom built for his enhanced abilities.
Iron Spider Suit
It's not used in the movie, but Spider-Man on the rooftops of the New York making webs is shown in multiple pieces of art, and a couple show the additional legs from the Iron Spider suit. The double page spread seen below from artist Bob Cheshire is one of them, and while nothing in the written details acknowledges this, it's very likely this was a very early concept for the movie.
The Iron Spider suit has not been seen since No Way Home, so it's likely this was included as a 'what if?' in the very beginning stages of getting artwork together, which in some cases can happen years before the movies comes out.
Punisher's White Gloves and Boots
After sharing my review, the art that people were most drawn to on social media is the variations of Punisher's clothing, especially the white gloves. Many (including myself) also liked the trench coat design, but it was the the 1970's original colour scheme that drew the most attention. You can see this below from artist Adam Ross.
Spider-Man's Evolution
One of the biggest things that we learnt from the trailers is that Spider-Man would be getting organic webbing, much like "Peter two", aka Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker. How this looks on his wrist was a challenge the artists took on with a range of ideas, from small spider-shaped markings, to an extending barb (seen below from Ian Joyner)
It is also briefly mentioned that his transformation causes spiders to be drawn to him, though this isn't shown on-screen. Despite detailing that he is "turning more into a spider", this is only in terms of his abilities, and there is no mention of Man-Spider.
Gray Hulk
Yes, people were expecting it, but this wasn't meant to be in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but that doesn't mean it wasn't considered. There are multiple concepts of this version from artist Wesley Burt, but it was decided that he would remain green.
The reason the colour wasn't used is explained by Producer Emily Fong; "...while he is different than how we've seen him before, we wanted him to be recognizable. I think the green skin connects to the part of him that is true to Bruce, so he's still our green guy."
Another concept also has hulk with some "Mark Ruffalo stubble", another way to show an unseen version of everyone's favourite rage machine.
Savage Hulk's face
Ryan Meinerding also did artwork for Hulk, looking at the potential of his face changing more significantly when becoming 'Savage Hulk'. The idea is that he would less resemble Bruce Banner, and begin to look more like the classic comic book version of the character, with the artist referencing John Romita Sr.'s version specifically.
'Frankenstein Monster' Hulk
Ian Joyner is an artist that often pushes boundaries, and that was no different for Brand New Day. His designs for the Leader pushed horror to the extreme, and while he didn't quite reach those levels here, his designs for Hulk certainly change the tone from savage to monstrous.
The extended brow gives Hulk a more primitive look, casting shadows over his eyes and giving his frown a little more intimidation. If his size alone wasn't enough to put fear into people, this face certainly would. There are also grey versions of this interpretation as well, indicating the colour change was a big consideration.
These are just some of the details and designs shared in Spider-Man: Brand New Day - The Art of the Movie, with more shared as well, including Scorpion, Tombstone, and the streets of New York. Check out my review for more previews and pre-order the book below ahead of its August 18th release date.
