With the release of Sider-Man: No Way Home, fans finally have an answer about the black Spider-Man suit, but it’s not one anyone expected.
WARNING: The following contains major spoilers for Spider-Man: No Way Home, now playing in theaters.
Spider-Man: No Way Home has finally swung into theaters, and fans of the web-slinging hero couldn’t be happier with the film. It boasts a 99 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes as the multiverse collided and villains from previous universes arrived to crash the Marvel Cinematic Universe party. This allowed Tom Holland’s Spider-Man the chance to work with his two movie predecessors in a desperate attempt to restore the multiverse and redeem the villains along the way.
But on top of multiversal fun, fans finally got some answers to some important questions, including how long Nick Fury has been away, Ned’s future in the MCU and Doctor Strange’s current role in the magic community. But one other reveal the No Way Home made was that Peter Parker’s black Spider-Man suit isn’t of future significance. In fact, the reason that Peter wore it was pretty simple and actually kind of comical.
Ever since a toy for No Way Home revealed Spider-Man wearing a black suit, fans have been running rampant with their theories. A lot of speculation proposed that the black suit involved a symbiote. The theory got its launching point because of how Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man donned a black suit as Venom possessed him in Spider-Man 3. So, many thought that, maybe, Venom would show up and temporarily take over Holland’s web-slinging hero. Venom, of course, did make a cameo in the post-credits scene, but he wasn’t the reason for the black suit.
Other fans thought that Holland’s black suit involved magic. It was no secret that Peter and Doctor Strange tampered with space-time at the film’s outset. That led to a very popular theory that Spider-Man’s black suit was a completely new, stealthy suit, imbued with Strange’s magic. And it was a viable idea, given the clearly-magical gauntlet on Spider-Man’s wrist. However, it also turned out to be wrong.
During the course of the film, Holland’s Spider-Man wore a number of different suits. He started with his Far from Home, black and red one, but he quickly ran into a problem. Thanks to Mysterios’s big reveal and Jamerson’s reporting, most people stopped trusting Spider-Man. In fact, one Mysterio supporter flung a bucket of green paint onto the webbed hero as he was standing on a sidewalk. In response to that, Peter wore his Iron Spider suit, but when Doc Ock got hold of some of its nanotechnology, the hero was out of options.
He had to go and capture Electro and Sandman using the magic gauntlet that Strange gave to him, but he couldn’t just show up as Peter with a magic gauntlet. And without a viable suit to wear, Peter had to improvise, simply turning his normal suit inside out, and the effect was pretty cool — a black suit with gold piping.
It wasn’t long after that that Peter wore his normal suit again, and later, he dons a new suit with gold accents. So, while the reign of Peter’s black suit was incredibly short and mostly forgettable, it will be remembered as one of the more memorable looks of Holland’s tenure.
To see Spider-Man’s black suit in action, watch Spider-Man: No Way Home, in theaters now.
