On the heels of recent concept art from Thor: Ragnarok, Marvel Studios artist Ryan Meinerding has unveiled an early, unused design for Spider-Man’s costume from Captain America: Civil War.

As Meinerding states in his Instagram post, this design was largely based on the Ben Reilly costume from the comic books, featuring exaggerated black lines and a darker color scheme. Considering the previous cinematic versions of Spider-Man had been based on versions of the Peter Parker costume, it makes sense that Meinerding would experiment by pulling from other wall-crawlers.
The final version of the costume isn’t far off from Meinerding’s vision, though. Peter Parker was given a smaller logo on the chest, and the colors were brightened up a bit. The studio clearly wanted a much more classic look for the character for his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut. He is still sporting the web canisters on his belt as well as the home-made web shooters on his wrists.
