Tom Holland divides fans after unveiling updated Spider-Man costume for Brand New Day sequel with Zendaya
The 29-year-old actor - who officially kicked off filming for the new MCU project in Glasgow this week - appeared in a short clip uploaded to the movie's Instagram and X accounts on Saturday.
The star was seen standing front of a large doorway that began to open up with his back initially towards the camera.
Tom then turned around and as the room became brighter, fans were able to see his new Spider-Man suit.
As instrumental music played in the background, he paused and questioned, 'We ready?' before bringing his gaze back to directly look at the camera. The reel concluded as he ran off, with the movie's title appearing on the screen.
Not long after the video was shared, social media users flocked over to Reddit to share their thoughts on the latest costume.
The suit contained colors of both red and blue, while a black spider emblem was embroidered on his chest.
Tom's suit has altered over the course of the three previous films he has starred in for the franchise including Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021).
Before the actor took on the role of the iconic superhero, others have also portrayed the character in the past such as Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.
'FINALLY This suit is what it should have been all along,' one penned, and another typed, 'looks good i just feel the spider is a little low on the chest.'
A Reddit user also shared, 'Just don't CGI over it now, or if you have to do it minimally. It looks great, the little wrinkles and bunching make it feel so much better.'
'It's genuinely perfect,' a fan wrote, and one commented, 'looks like he took inspiration from the other spidermen.'
Another said, 'So the logo is a nod to Garfield's suit logo and the raised webbing a nod to Maguire's? Cute. Wonder what they'll do with the eyes.'
'Really looks like they took the best elements of past spidey suits. Very nice,' one added, while another voiced concern that the new glimpse of the costume could have possibly involved the use of AI.
'FINALLY This suit is what it should have been all along,' one penned, and another typed, 'looks good i just feel the spider is a little low on the chest'
'THIS IS REAL?!? Feels so AI for some reason, probably Toms NPC movement. Edit: still feels AI after 10th watch,' they wrote, and one replied, 'The fact that we can't tell scares me. I agree with you on it feeling ai but I don't think it is.'
Over on X, more fans offered differing opinions on Tom's latest Spider-Man suit as one penned, 'THIS LOOKS PEAKK.'
'Perfect homage to Andrew and Tobey,' another wrote, and an X user added, 'I feel like I'm going to be disappointed.'
Another typed, 'This suit is the best of all of the suits we have seen so far!' and a fan shared, 'Liked the old suit better But cannot wait for this movie.'
'The suit from the ending of no way home looked so much better,' one commented, while a social media user also expressed, 'love the detailing but something is a little off.'
Another also penned, 'This gives me HOPE,' while one observed, 'looks so much like Garfield's suit.'
Tom first portrayed Spider-Man in the 2016 movie Captain America: Civil War and went on to play the leading role for three films beginning in 2017.
Late year in October, the actor confirmed that a fourth installment in the franchise was in the works during an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon.
That same month, he also briefly discussed the project on an episode of the Rich Roll podcast and shared that he had already read the script.
'One of the things is that, with Marvel, your film is a small cog in a large machine,' Tom explained. 'That machine has got to keep running. You have to make sure you can fit into that timeline at the right time to benefit the bigger picture.
'That's one of the challenges we're facing. The time in which we need to get that done is a tall order but definitely achievable with the people we have working on it now.'
He further stated, 'We have a creative and we have a pitch and a draft, which is excellent. It needs work, but the writers are doing a great job. I read it three weeks ago and it really lit a fire in me.
'Zendaya and I sat down and read it together and we at times were bouncing around the living room like this is a real movie worthy of the fans' respect.'
And production for the movie officially began this week on August 1 in Glasgow, Scotland - with the streets being transformed into NYC.
Along with Tom, other cast members for Brand New Day include Zendaya, Mark Ruffalo, Sadie Sink and Jon Bernthal.
The project is being directed by Destin Daniel Cretton with a script penned by both Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers.
Zendaya has portrayed the character of MJ since 2017 and has also been in a relationship with Tom since 2021.
The couple confirmed their engagement in January of this year, but due to their busy schedules, wedding planning has been put on hold.
Her stylist Law Roach told E! News last month in July, 'The process hasn't even started yet.
'Zendaya is working on so many movies. She's now filming the next iteration of Dune, so she's away doing that. It's so many movies, so we have time. We have a lot of time.'

Kelsey Parker shares heartbreaking letter to her ‘angel' baby as she learns to live with the ‘ache' after tragic loss
KELSEY Parker has shared a heartbreaking letter to her 'angel' baby as she learns to live with the 'ache' after tragic loss. The widow of The Wanted's Tom Parker was left devastated in June when her third child was "born sleeping", a week before her due date. 6 6 6 6 Kelsey - who was expecting the baby with partner Will Lindsay - named her son Phoenix Parker-Lindsay. Now Kelsey has shared a heartbreaking letter to Phoenix on Instagram. Alongside a video montage of her at the beach, she wrote: "A Letter to My Angel. It's hard to find the words. "There is no preparing for this kind of heartbreak. I had dreams for you, your first giggle, your first steps, the way you would cling to me when the world felt too big. "All those moments I imagined are now part of a different kind of story — one I never thought I'd have to write to you. "But this isn't just about pain, it is about the quiet but powerful love you brought into this world. About how you changed me — made me softer, more grounded, and somehow even more grateful." She continued: "Grief and gratitude can exist together. I grieve what was lost, but I am so thankful I had the chance to carry you for 9 months and love you unconditionally, I told you every day I loved you. You will always be mine. My son. My light. My why. "I share this not because I have answers, but because silence can be lonely. And if you are walking through a similar kind of grief, please know you're not alone. There's a quiet sisterhood in this heartbreak, and I feel you deeply." She concluded: "For now, I'm learning to live with the ache, to breathe through the waves, and to find little pockets of peace in the middle of the storm. "And I know that even though I can't hold you in my arms, I carry you in my heart, always." Kelsey Parker returns to social media for first time since losing her third child - as she pays tribute to daughter, 6 6 6

Amber Davies hits out at 'selfish' theatre goer for 'ruining' her West End performance in The Great Gatsby in furious online rant
Former Love Island winner Amber Davies has hit out at a 'selfish' theatre goer for 'ruining' her West End performance in The Great Gatsby. The theatre actress, 28, took to Instagram in full stage make-up while backstage at the London Coliseum following her latest show. After Saturday evening's performance, Amber issued a warning to those attending the musical after being distracted by someone in the audience. She told Instagram followers: 'This is a PSA. The closer you are to the stage when you're watching a show the more obvious it is when you're filming. 'This is the entire stalls. If you're filming in the stalls we can see you! From someone who's on stage, I just wanna tell you a little bit about what we see. So we see like a dark canvas and outlines of people's heads. 'If you're filming, the reflection from the lights bounce straight back off your ... the back of your iPhone onto us on stage. So it is the one thing we can see.' She then criticised one particular audience member. 'So to the woman filming New Money tonight - you distracted absolutely everybody on that stage. 'And not only that, it takes us out of the Gatsby world because you're filming and you've basically ruined that moment for everybody else who was watching the show tonight.' 'Please don't be selfish. Stop filming shows. If someone is filming during a show know that this is the consequences that it has to the people on stage and tell them to stop because honestly it's annoying. 'Also, I single-handedly will count how many seats back you are and tell our stage manager where you're sitting and what colour hair you've got, and trust me, in the interval they will come and ask you to delete the footage so you've basically done it for nothing. 'Okay, I'm gonna enjoy act two now.' The production, running at the London Coliseum from April 16 to September 7, brings F. Scott Fitzgerald's iconic story to life in dazzling style. In February, the complete casting for the West End production was revealed. Joining the previously announced Jamie Muscato as Jay Gatsby and Frances Mayli McCann as Daisy Buchanan are Corbin Bleu as Nick Carraway, Amber Davies as Jordan Baker, Joel Montague as George Wilson, John Owen-Jones as Meyer Wolfsheim, Jon Robyns as Tom Buchanan and Rachel Tucker as Myrtle Wilson. Adapted from F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic American novel, The Great Gatsby follows the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his quest to win back the heart of married socialite Daisy Buchanan, his former flame. This musical adaptation arrives in London following its 2024 Broadway premiere, where it won the Tony Award for Best Costume Design. Earlier in January, the star lashed out at trolls who criticised her for her work schedule. The beauty, who won Love Island back in 2017, took to Instagram at the time to share a snap of herself returning to work at the Universal Music Group studios, where she was thought to be recording her podcast Call to Stage. Captioning her mirror selfie, Amber penned: 'First working day of 2025', before adding: 'Time to buckle up.' And while the West End star seemed in good spirits about getting back to the grind, she found herself facing backlash at having only just returned to work 20 days into the new year. A second image on Amber's stories then showed the response she received on her last post, with one person responding: 'Imagine going over half the month without working ' alongside eye roll emojis. Clearly unimpressed with the criticism, Amber then wrote over the screenshot, hitting out at the person as she remarked that she 'needed the break' before urging them to not judge. She wrote: 'Erm I need the break. I lived out of a suitcase on tour for a whole year with no day off in sight, whilst doing 8 shows a week & then worked all the way up to week before Xmas so ... Don't judge my unemployed downtime.' Amber's hard work she referred to was her year-long role as Vivian Ward in the touring production of the Pretty Woman musical. The star then went on to further address the criticism in a video shared to her stories as she opened up about the difficulties of self-employed working and noted that she would have worked 'if the work was there'. Speaking to the camera, Amber said: 'I literally love the internet. Everyone's like "you don't need to justify yourself". And I'm like "justify myself for being self-employed?".' She went on: 'Like, yes, I've had half of the month off, the majority of the month off, because 1) I'm self-employed and 2) I did need a break, but if the work was there, I would have worked.' Captioning her clip, she added: 'Love to the self employed'.
