AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Concept Art Reveals A Comic Accurate Take On Spider-Man's Iron Spider Costume
Some new concept art from Avengers: Infinity War has been revealed and this shows a much more comic accurate take on the Iron Spider suit that you'll wish Marvel Studios had ended up using in the film!
The Iron Spider costume was first teased at the end of Spider-Man: Homecoming but we didn't get to see it in action until Avengers: Infinity War. While it was based on the Iron Spider suit from the Civil War comic book storyline, it didn't bear much of a resemblance to that and was instead a mostly original creation which borrowed elements from the source material.
Well, this newly surfaced piece of concept art from the epic superhero ensemble reveals that the wall-crawler was very nearly given a much more comic accurate costume.
As you can see, it appears as if the classic red and blue suit is there (it's hard to say for sure but the blue may have been swapped for the dark red Peter Parker wore in the comics) but the golden logo has been laid over that and it looks, well, spectacular! An argument could definitely be made that this looks better than the version we ended up getting too.

The Superior Spider-Man
The Superior Spider-Man was divisive among comic book fans but this would have been very cool to see that costume on screen in Spider-Man: Homecoming. The black works really well and seeing as Marvel Studios clearly wanted to differentiate its wall-crawler from what came before, this would have been a smart way to achieve that as would have many of the alternate designs listed below.
These two designs instantly remind me of Ben Reilly's stint as Spider-Man and seeing as Peter's homemade costume was inspired by the character, it would have been no bad thing for this design to be used. Perhaps Marvel is holding off on it in case they choose to adapt The Clone Saga one day.
The changes made here don't appear to be based on any one comic book run but they all go a long way in making Spider-Man look different. The various shades of blue work particularly well with the lightest version arguably closest to some of the wall-crawler's earliest adventures in the source material.
A Different Style Of Logo
The spider emblem on Peter's chest has always been a big talking point and what we see here are radically different to what we're used to. All of these work well and it was a smart move by Marvel's team of concept artists to find a way to incorporate the legs into the overall design of the suit itself.
These are all pretty cool, right? However, Marvel also faced the difficult task of imagining how the hero's suit would be brought to life when he discovers it has an A.I. The "Big Time" run in the comic books put the wall-crawler in a variety of different outfits and those have clearly inspired these.
