Captain America: Civil War – 13 Biggest Rumours You Need To Know (Jan 13th)

3. The Iron Spider Is Coming

Propelled ScreenRant - among others - this rumour says that one of the products of the relationship between Stark and Parker is the Iron Spider suit, an augmented costume that basically upgrades Spider-Man into Spidey #2. The latest evidence of the suit being introduced is the Russos' confirmation that Spider-Man's look will be "a mix of what everyone is waiting for with a little twist." Could the twist be mechanical augmentations? Well, there's more evidence from the same interview:

"And we're very happy with the final result. We're still working on a few things, like the costume. He's not ready yet because so much will be produced with special effects."

Why would his look require special effects? Unless they need them for the golden spider leg attachments that made the Iron Spider look so impressive? Rating: 4/10 It would be brilliant, but it's hard to see how the Russos could balance all of the elements they already have with a Spider-Man subplot substantial enough to have the Iron Spider arc included. But then it's unlikely the character is even going to be a part of the Civil War main plot at this rate, so maybe all we will get is Tony Stark offering to take him under his wing and help him "improve" his powers? Perhaps we will see the Iron Spider unveiled at the end, leading into the stand-alone Spider-Man movie in which Parker discovers that Stark built in monitoring tech to make sure he had a contingency plan to take Spidey down if needed?
