The Marvel Cinematic Universe is an ever-changing place, thanks to new releases hitting theaters and streaming with a Disney+ subscription<\/a>. The next highly anticipated upcoming Marvel movie<\/a> is Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which will finally catch up with Peter Parker after No Way Home’s ending<\/a>. And after we got the movie’s first footage, there are tons of fans comparing Peter to Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark.<\/p>\n

What we know about Spider-Man 4 <\/a>has been limited, but fans were thrilled when Brand New Day’s first trailer<\/a> finally arrived. One shot in particular quickly went viral: Peter in a black tank top. On top of showing off Tom Holland’s superhero body<\/a>, it also harkened back to an early MCU scene with Tony Stark. As one tweet pointed out:<\/p>\n

So what exactly is being referenced here, besides Holland’s massive arms? Specifically, a scene in Iron Man 3 (which is totally a Christmas movie)<\/a> where Tony Stark is shown working on his armor in a black tank top. Another viral tweet about this subject shows the sequence of Robert Downey Jr., check it out below:<\/p>\n

I’ve got to admit I totally see the resemblance. Add in Tony’s mentorship role to Peter throughout the MCU, and this parallel feels particularly powerful. A ton of fans who spent years watching the Marvel movies in order<\/a> have made this connection, and are sharing similar posts on social media. For example:<\/p>\n

While Peter Parker’s guardian was Marisa Tomei’s Aunt May, it’s hard to deny that Tony became a father figure for the wall crawler. This is what made Tom Holland’s reaction to Tony Stark’s death in Avengers: Endgame<\/a> so powerful. And I have to wonder if this black tank top connection was accidental or a purposeful bit of repetition by the costume department of Brand New Day.<\/p>\n

The Spider-Man trailer had big moments like the inclusion of Jon Bernthal’s Punisher and Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner, so it’s surprising that a black tank top has made this much of a splash. There are a ton of tweets pointing out this connection to Tony Stark, as you can see below:<\/p>\n

Tom Holland’s Peter Parker was introduced in Captain America: Civil War, recruited by Tony Stark to join his team during the tarmac battle. He’d go on to mentor the young hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming and go to space with him in Avengers: Infinity War. Their relationship was super captivating, and unfortunately, cut short due to the battle against Thanos. Another tweet reads:<\/p>\n

All of this chatter about Tony and Peter has me super curious to see if Tom Holland ends up appearing in Avengers: Doomsday or Secret Wars. Since Robert Downey Jr. is playing Doctor Doom<\/a>, an evil variant of Stark, I would love to see Spider-Man’s reaction to his mentor suddenly being a multiversal villain. Hopefully, he gets confirmed for one of The Russo Brothers’ blockbusters sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

Spider-Man: Brand New Day will hit theaters on July 31st as part of the 2026 movie release list<\/a>. We’ll just have to wait and see if there are more connections to Tony Stark throughout its runtime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
