As we already know, the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man will be receiving a few costume upgrades for Spider-Man: Homecoming, as Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark kits out the wall-crawler with all manner of gadgetry.
Some of these tech upgrades were showcased in a video back in January, and now The Los Angeles Times has posted a breakdown of the enhancements to the web-slingers classic costume, which include:
Peter Parker’s Little Helper
The detachable chest piece transforms into a drone and sends information back to the suit.
GPS Tracking System
The classic spider tracer has been upgraded with a holographic display and complex GPS system.
Upgraded Web Shooter
Enhanced web shooters with multi-settings, a variety of webbing and a laser targeting system.
Explosive Web Snares
The snares automatically deploy upon approaching targets.
Web Wings
Spider-Man’s web wings act like a glider — a kid’s fantasy come to movie life.
Expressive Eyes
The new Spidey vision shows emotion but also reflects different functions of the suit. Flip to a different spider mode and the eyes will display the change.
Auto-Fit Suit
The suit’s auto-fit adjusts to the user, but that doesn’t mean anyone can slip it on. It’s adaptable “within reason,” director Jon Watts warns.

And if you prefer it in visual form…
A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging superhero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.
