SPIDER-MAN Test Reel Shows Added Musculature to Tobey Maguire's Costume
The Academy Award winning team over at, Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc. (ADI), has posted a new video showing a test of the Spider-Man suit for Sam Raimi's 2002 film, that starred Tobey Maguire. It features an alternate design for the superhero's costume. Check it out!
"The goal on Spider-Man was to invent a very flexible bodysuit that created a lean, muscular body form beneath the form-fitting spandex. It also required a very specific streamlined shell to project heroic facial structure beneath the hood. In this early test, custom printed shadows and highlights help define the sculpted muscles. Although toned down in later iterations, this first test was an exciting success." - StudioADI
