This latest in news releases about the upcoming Spider-man movie confirms a rumor that started in the spring time about the potential for under-arm webbing.  The webbing itself was initially drawn in to the suit by artist Steve Ditko.  At the time, there was no functional benefit to having the webbing, it was purely for visual effect.
Ditko’s webbed costume was featured on the cover of the iconic Amazing Fantasy # 15 from 1962. Written by Stan Lee and with art by Steve Ditko, that particular issue propelled Peter Parker – Spider-man in to the hallowed ranks of the most iconic, most popular and most easily recognized of all superheroes.

 The earliest iterations of the webbed costume had the webbing on Parker’s costume rather large but in later versions by other artists, the webs shrunk and his webs actually began to have practical functionality.  Akin to Green Lantern’s constructs, Spider-man was able to create various objects with his webbing such as rafts, parachutes, shields and nets for himself and with which he could catch his foe.
Current speculation is that the full trailer for Spider-man: Homecoming will premiere during the opening trailers for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story on December 16th.  If you head to the theaters that weekend, look for the trailer and look for the webbing and the classic costume features!
