Tom Holland Reveals His Wishlist for the Next MCU Spider-Man Suit
Spider-Man’s ever-evolving wardrobe has become one of the character’s most cherished traditions across comics, games, and films. Each era of the wall-crawler introduces a new suit that captivates fans, and Tom Holland’s portrayal of the hero is no exception.
Over nearly a decade in the role, Holland has donned numerous costumes throughout his solo films and crossover appearances, each contributing to the character’s expanding mythology. With ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ behind him, fans are naturally curious about which comic-accurate suit he might tackle next.
Now, Holland has shared his thoughts, expressing a desire to see two specific fan-favorite designs make their way into a live-action MCU film: the Bombastic Bag-Man and the Spider-Man 2099 suit. He revealed his wishlist in an interview featured in Marvel’s milestone issue ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ #1000, published via Bleeding Cool.
Speaking about the Bag-Man costume, Holland highlighted its unique comic origins as part of its appeal. “I like the Bag-Man because I love his relationship with Johnny Storm,” Holland said. “That would be something I would really be eager to try to explore in the future.”
The Bombastic Bag-Man look, originating from a storyline where Peter Parker borrows a Fantastic Four costume and improvises a paper bag mask, has long been a cult favorite among comic readers for its sheer absurdity. Its connection to Johnny Storm seems to particularly attract Holland, hinting at a potential interest in further crossovers with the Fantastic Four within the MCU.
Regarding the Spider-Man 2099 suit, worn by the futuristic hero Miguel O’Hara, Holland didn’t hide his enthusiasm either. “The 2099 is another favorite,” he said. “It’s epic.”
Despite his excitement, Holland also poked fun at himself when discussing the practicality of wearing the 2099 costume on screen. He noted that the character is typically depicted as a towering, imposing figure, joking that he’d “look so stupid” and “ridiculous” trying to fill out such a physically dominant design.
Holland’s comments come as part of a broader retrospective interview tied to ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ #1000, a special oversized issue celebrating the character’s legacy across page and screen. Beyond his suit preferences, Holland took the opportunity to reflect on which comic storylines have resonated with him most, specifically citing the Clone Saga from the Ultimate Spider-Man line as a personal favorite.
He also recalled a specific moment from that storyline, describing a scene where Peter encounters Spider-Woman for the first time as something that emotionally resonated with him. This reflection suggests that Holland’s connection to the character extends well beyond the films, showcasing a genuine appreciation for Spider-Man’s broader comic book history.
With Holland openly advocating for these designs, it’s easy to see why fans are buzzing about the potential of either suit making its live-action debut. Whether Marvel Studios takes the hint remains to be seen, but Holland’s evident enthusiasm certainly boosts the odds.
Given how much fun the MCU has had reinventing Spider-Man’s wardrobe across multiple films, both the Bag-Man and 2099 designs feel like natural next steps for a franchise that isn’t afraid to embrace quirky costume choices. For a character built on constant reinvention, incorporating one of comics’ goofiest looks alongside one of its most futuristic might be exactly the contrast Holland’s Spider-Man needs next.
