There have been a lot of questions regarding the upcoming Spider-Man reboot starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, a lot of them centering around the costume. We got our first look at Garfield in costume last week, but it was minus the most important feature... his mask. Well now another shot from set of Spidey in full costume, well, at least the stunt costume: This comes to us from Splashpage, with a little more in depth look at both the mask and the web-shooters:
1. THE MASK
The first image of Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man gave us a great look at the new costume our friendly neighborhood webslinger will sport in the relaunched film franchise, but it was missing one big item: the mask. While this new photo from the set of the film looks like it features the version of the costume used for stunts — likely to differ from the up-close, camera-friendly costume design — it does give us some indication of what to expect from Spidey's mask.
Everyone wondering about the size and shape of Spider-Man's eyes on the costume might find at least some answer in the new photo — though fans of Todd McFarlane's iconic large-eyed mask will likely be disappointed. Oh, and if you're wondering about the red eyes, I'm pretty sure that's just part of the stunt costume, not the final look (the same might be said of the "sneakers," too — though we'll have to wait for more official imagery to be sure).
2. THE WEB-SHOOTERS
One of the biggest questions that popped up after we saw the first photo of the new Spider-Man costume involves the presence of those metal discs on Spidey's wrists. Are they a modern take on the mechanical web-shooters Spider-Man began his career with, or just a contraption that facilitates organic web-slinging? Garfield's co-star Emma Stone (who plays Gwen Stacy) only added fuel to the fires of speculation when she confirmed that they were "a device" to shoot webbing.
I have to say, I really don't know what to think about this. I mean, I digged the released photo, which is obviously a bit more touched up than this set pic, but what can I say. I am a comic nerd, die hard Spidey fan especially, and I fear change. I like the mask, and I dig the idea of web shooters, but those are pretty in your face. And what's up with those booties on his feet? I hope that's just for the stuntman to be able to run, because it totally throws off the whole costume for me.

To me , Spideys costume has to be a response to what Peter is able to find , what hes able to buy and use , which I was even confused about in the past 3 films - In the comics , and in my own costume concept , I think it should have gone completely retro since the previous Spidey was too modern - so , this being actual red tights and thin costume that the comics had always gone on and on about , because to those of you reading who are teens - peter is meant to be one of us right? so how the hell is he able to find and afford everything that makes the costume , let alone without anyone seeing him buy the items in the store! I think in this movie they will look more at the heroic and epic sides of spidey and the quiet teenager of peter , instead of blending the two together , which is kind of a shame, but maybe they will do that! I just think the costume should have shown that a little thats all
