Earlier this month, a promo photo was released in conjunction with Dell debuting its Inspiron 15 gaming laptop at CES, which featured a fresh look at the Stark-builtSpider-Man costumein the highly-anticipatedSpider-Man: Homecoming.Tom Hollandwas also on hand at the CES convention, where he spoke about the upcoming superhero adventure, hitting theaters on July 7. The actor revealed during a CES presentation that this gaming laptop actually unlocks some of the new features in Spidey’s tech-suit. More importantly, we learned of Ned Leeds importance in being Peter Parker’s right hand man because of his gamer knowledge. Here’s whatTom Hollandhad to say about the costume and the role Ned Leeds plays in helping get Spider-man off the ground.
“Throughout the movie, my mentor isTony Stark, probably best known as Iron Man. He builds me a high-tech new suit which is just filled with awesome gadgets. Let me just stress that it didn’t stretch my acting abilities to be confused by it. Luckily enough, my best friend in the movie, Ned Leeds, is a complete gamer. And using the Dell Inspiron 15 we were able to tap into the suit and find out some of its cool new exciting features.”
We have already seen one of the suit’s cool features, thewebbed wingsthat Spidey uses to soar over a police helicopter. It remains to be seen how many other new features will be embedded into this superhero suit, or when we may see more of these features unveiled. We still have several more months until the July 7 release date, so we’ll surely be getting another trailer and most likely a number of film clips between now and the release, so hopefully those bits of footage will showcase more of the suit’s features.
