8) Tony Stark Creates Spider-Man’s Web-Shooters
Very little is known about Tom Holland’s Spider-Man other than the fact that he’ll only be 15 years old and will have a homemade costume when we first meet him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Rumours about how long Peter Parker has been a hero range from a month to a year, but based on one report, it doesn’t sound as if we should expect him to have his web-shooters at this stage.
In a pretty major departure from the source material, Tony Stark will apparently be the one to create those, while he’ll also come up with a new Avengers approved suit for the youngster to wear.
The latter makes sense (the Iron Spider costume is thought to be off the table, so Marvel will no doubt be looking to put their own spin of his classic red and blue duds), but it feels more likely that Tony will improve Peter’s web-shooters rather than creating them from scratch.
Either way, it would be great to see these two science enthusiasts in the lab together and would replicate the same mentor/mentee relationship the characters had before and during the Civil War comic, giving this Spider-Man someone to look up to as he then embarks on his own adventures.
