Civil War Trailer's Spider-Man Suit

​Ok, the new Civil War trailer dropped yesterday and I've been ranting in almost social media form about it since then. Specifically and obviously about Spider-Man's debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Oh My Freaking Glob I'm So FreaKing Excited! If you know anything about me, I'm a huuuuuuuuuge Spider-Man fan, even to the point where I always go on record admitting I loved the Clone Saga. (Suck it haters, Ben Reilly forever!)

I read somewhere there are going to be two Spidey suits. I can't find the original source of this rumor so I can not confirm this. But it makes sense. There would be Peter's original suit that he creates and a Stark made suit. That's how it was in the comic and I'll dive more in depth into why I believe this is Starks version. But it doesn't look like the Iron Spider you say. It could still be the Iron Spider suit (it isn't, I don't believe they will have one) because in the comic the Iron Spider suit could cloak itself to fool his enemies into thinking he's wearing the classic suit. I don't think we'll see an Iron Spider version just for consistent sakes. This is Spidey's debut in this universe so it's like showing it to a new audience, where they don't want a wardrobe change the first time you see him. Remember this isn't a Spider-Man movie, he probably won't have a huge role despite being a crucial element to the comic's Civil War storyline. Giving him a drastically, new costume mid-movie with his brief screen time. It might be confusing for the average movie-goer. You have to remember that yes they can hide all the easter eggs and nods for hardcore comicbook fans, but they have to make sure it makes sense for Joe Smoe who walks off the street and never read a single comic book. Also there's no room for the waldoes (Spider Claw legs) and I doubt Tony would hand over the newest technology of his current suit, the Model 52 (Transformational Mark ⬡​) that he wears in the newest comic and seems to also appear briefly in this trailer.
