Tom Holland Explains Why He Gets a New Spider-Man Suit ‘Every 2 Weeks’

Just how often does Tom Holland swap out his Spider-Man costume for a new one while filming?

Holland, 29, told Esquire in an interview about his new role as a Prada beauty global ambassador and the face of Prada’s new fragrance Paradigme, published Tuesday, Sept. 9, that he imagines he is given a new Spider-Man suit once a fortnight after the interviewer suggested that the suit could get “musty” over time.

“Yeah, it definitely does. I probably get a new suit every two weeks, I reckon,” Holland, who began filming his upcoming fourth entry in the superhero franchise, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, in August, said.

Sony Pictures and Holland first announced at CinemaCon 2025 in April that the franchise’s next movie will be titled Brand New Day, months after the actor first confirmed that his fourth Spider-Man film would film in 2025. Holland and his fiancée Zendaya, who costars in the Spider-Man movies with him, were photographed spending time on the movie’s set in London in early August, and Holland shared a video to Instagram on Aug. 10 showing footage from his first day of filming the anticipated sequel in Scotland.

Holland has portrayed Spider-Man / Peter Parker in the Marvel Cinematic Universe dating back to 2016’s Captain America: Civil War. The actor has suggested in recent years that he is more heavily involved creatively on the next Spider-Man movie. He recently told LADbible that he has been “actively sifting through the internet and trying to best understand what it is the fans want” from Spider-Man films as the new one was developed.

“For me, I want to do justice to Peter Parker’s character. I want to bring the fans something that’s really worthy of their time, and I’m very grateful for their investment in our franchise,” the actor told Esquire, when asked about those comments and what he personally wants to see from his own superhero movies. “I don’t mean financially, I mean the time to go to the cinema three times. That’s a big ask.”

“I did a lot of sneaky research online—looking at what people were saying in the interim between Spider-Man: No Way Home and now Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” he added. “I really just kind of put together a vibe of what people were looking for and went to Marvel and said, ‘This is what I think we should be doing.’ And I think that’s exactly what we are doing. So it’s been a really fun process developing the movie. It’s the first time I’ve ever been allowed in that part of the process, and it’s definitely a stressful experience. But I think where we’ve got to, now that we’re shooting, we are shooting absolute gold.”

Zendaya, 29, is expected to reprise her role as Michelle “MJ” Jones in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, as are costars Jacob Batalon and Jon Favreau. The Bear’s Liza Colón-Zayas and Stranger Things’ Sadie Sink will also appear in Brand New Day alongside MCU favorite Mark Ruffalo, as well as Michael Mando and Jon Bernthal, per The Hollywood Reporter.

The movie is scheduled to hit theaters July 31, 2026.
