Spider-Man: Homecoming - 45 Easter Eggs & References You Probably Missed

4. The Other Suit

The culmination of Peter's scene with Tony and Happy at the Avengers facility sees Tony invite Spidey to become an Avenger. Somehow the team are still operational after everything that went on in Civil War, and Vision is still an active member despite accidentally nearly killing Rhodey.

Quite who the surviving members are remains to be seen...

Tony's offer includes a new suit too, with the gold and red colour scheme of the iconic Iron Spider suit from Civil War's comic arc. That was actually the colour scheme Marvel were going to use for his Civil War debut before they decided his debut demanded his original colours.

The design of the spider symbol on the upgraded suit also looks a lot like the large one on Ben Reilly's suit.

It's interesting that we get to actually see a version of the Iron Spider, as the suit Tony gave Peter in Civil War actually used some of its elements - the tech upgrades, the unwanted tracking and surveillance - and though it's a shame he turns it down, we might see it in the future.
