Whenproduction wrappedon Sony and Marvel’sSpider-Man: Homecominglast month, that began the long wait for the first trailer, which has been rumored to be attached to Disney’sRogue One: A Star Wars Storynext month. That report hasn’t been confirmed, and while we wait for more details on this superhero adventure, a new video has surfaced, albeit one you may not expect. DirectorJon Wattstook to social media today to share a bizarre behind-the-scenes sneak peek of starTom Hollandperforming some facial capture work, as post-production continues.
TheInstagramvideo is only a couple of seconds long, withTom Hollandjoking that this process was awkward enough while he was wearing the costume, as he’s seen performing a number of grunts and other sounds while several different cameras are capturing his work. We can see the actor pretending to shoot one of Spidey’s web shooters in this brief video, and while this appears to be some sort of an action scene, no details were given about where it fits into the story. One Instagram user did have an interesting theory about what these shots may be used for, though.
While we can seeTom Hollandperforming in the background of the video, the foreground features a monitor that shows six different camera feeds, all showing his face at different angles, with one even positioned upside down. Given how the cameras are framed, one Instagram user dubbed “hellohessa” speculated that this could mean Peter Parker’s newSpidey suitcould feature, “someIron Manhelmet type of deal.” The “Iron Manhelmet type of deal” has not been confirmed, but it wouldn’t be terribly surprising if it did happen.
Earlier this month, earlyconcept artfromCaptain America: Civil Warrevealed that the Spider-Man beacon Peter Parker was using in the post-credit scene, originally had a secret message to the youngster, telling him to come by Avengers Tower to check out some “upgrades” on hisSpider-Mansuit. It’s possible that one of these upgrades is a mask that features A.I. upgrades like theIron Mansuit, but we don’t have any confirmation of that quite yet. We have seen theSpider-Mansuit in set photos whileSpider-Man: Homecomingwas in production, but there was never any indication of bulky metal mask.
Spider-Man: Homecomingwill bring backRobert Downey Jr.as Tony Stark, who recruited him to fight for Team Iron Man inCaptain America: Civil War. We got our first look at Peter’s Spidey skills during the the massive airport fight scene, butTom Hollandrecently teased thatSpider-Mandoesn’t actually punch anyone in this new movie.Tom Hollandalso recently confirmed that he has signed on for sixSpider-Manmovies, three of which will represent the trilogy started bySpider-Man: Homecoming, and three more appearances in future Marvel movies. It’s possible thatTom Hollandwill return as Spidey inAvengers: Infinity War, but that hasn’t been set in stone yet. While we wait for more onSpider-Man: Homecoming, take a look at the new set video below.
