The Spider Man Brand New Day suits …..
The Spider-Man Brand New Day suits has always been sacred territory for fans. For BRAND NEW DAY, the task of bringing that iconic garb to the screen fell to costume designer Sanja Milković Hays, who worked closely with Marvel Studios’ head of visual development, Ryan Meinerding. Hays approached the task with both reverence and curiosity, choosing to look backward before moving forward.
First, Hays gathered the legacy suits worn by Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Holland. Each suit represented a different philosophy of Spider-Man, as well as different eras, tones, and physical priorities.
Holland tried on each suit, and with Hays, broke down what worked and what didn’t for this film’s particular storyline. Elements like webbing depth, fabric stretch, eye shape, weight distribution, and breathability were all scrutinized. The paramount question was: What does this version of Peter Parker need right now?
The new suit had to reflect a Spider-Man who is more experienced, isolated, and physically in tune with the city than ever before. That meant a suit that feels lived-in, functional, and responsive. The new suit looks like something Peter could realistically design, assemble, repair, and upgrade himself, responding directly to what he’s learned in the field.
Hays leaned into that idea of self-reliance. “The suit feels engineered rather than manufactured, assembled through experimentation and necessity,” she points out, “You can sense that Peter has tested, adjusted, and rebuilt it countless times.
“This independence also reinforces Peter’s identity,” she continues. “By building his own suit, he’s reclaiming ownership of Spider-Man. The intelligence behind the mask is no longer augmented, it’s fully his. It’s imperfect in the same way Peter is, and that imperfection gives it soul.”
The Punisher suits….
The Punisher’s look is designed to feel grounded and tactical. Bernthal dons real military-issue pants and shirts, ensuring the base layers reflect genuine function and wear. His tactical vest was sourced directly from a manufacturer that produces equipment for real-world military use.
“The intent was to build a look that feels operational, believable and something Frank Castle could realistically assemble and rely on in the field,” Hays says.
Scorpion….
Scorpion presented a unique design challenge due to the highly stylized nature of his original comic-book appearance. In the source material, the character is depicted as a bright green, lizard-like figure, which does not translate directly into a modern cinematic world. Early on, the decision was made to reinterpret Scorpion as a contemporary, deliberate modern warrior, rather than a literal comic translation.
The design centers on a green exoskeleton-style armor layered over an equally green under-suit. The palette was adjusted to a muted, military green rather than the vivid tones seen in the comics, aligning the character with a more real-world aesthetic.
The iconic Scorpion tail remains a defining element and is fully integrated into the design as a functional weapon rather than a decorative feature. It complements the exoskeleton concept and reinforces the character’s combat capabilities.
