How Marvel Designed Black Panther and Spider-Man"s Suits in Captain America: Civil War

How Captain America: Civil War Should Have Ended

Share.

These two superhero costumes were designed by committee. By Terri Schwartz

When Captain America: Civil War introduced Black Panther and Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it didn"t just offer new big screen depictions of T"Challa and Peter Parker -- it also gave audience-goers their first look at the MCU"s take on Black Panther and Spider-Man"s superhero suits. The first looks at Black Panther"s sleek vibranium costume and Spider-Man"s Tony Stark-gifted suit were highly anticipated, which is why it was a big group effort to make sure they were designed right.

Civil War costume designer Judianna Makovsky wasn"t tasked with designing these two high profile outfits alone; in fact, Marvel came to her with some fully formed ideas of what the studio wanted the designs to look like. Not only did they have to work within the third Captain America movie, but they also needed to work for Spider-Man and Black Panther"s upcoming standalone films.

"When you work with Marvel and there are all these other movies, you kind of have to collaborate with all these other films, or you know if it"s coming up and you don"t want to make too much of a statement for the next film so that they can do their own thing -- particularly, Black Panther," explained Makovsky to IGN. "So those kinds of costumes I work very closely with Marvel"s visual development team."

This was Makovsky"s second time developing costumes for a Marvel film after working on 2014"s Captain America: The Winter Soldier; looking forward, she"s also designing for Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2 and the next two Avengers movies. Since she isn"t privy to much of Marvel"s big picture plans, she defers to the studio in these situations to guide her design choices so they fit into the larger tapestry being woven.

"Marvel knows what they want, and they know what the next films are, and I don"t," she said. "They kind of decide, with visual development and with me, which direction they"re going to go, which image from the comic is the one that they want to continue on. ...Sometimes they sketch it, sometimes I sketch it. It"s a very amorphous project."

Some design choices were simple: for instance, everyone at Marvel knew they wanted to go for a classic Spider-Man look in Civil War, and Head of Visual Development Ryan Meinerding came to Makovsky with a clear idea of how to produce that. Others were more challenging, and involved countless prototypes and trial and error.

The particular challenge with Civil War -- like with The Winter Soldier before it -- was that directors Joe and Anthony Russo want their films grounded in realism, and so the costumes need to be as well. While more "comic book-y" films offer Makovsky more freedom, it"s a bigger challenge to have them more reality-based.

A big helping hand in the design process is Marvel head honcho Kevin Feige. "The one thing I have to say about Marvel: they know what they want, and that is why these movies are so successful," Makovsky said. "Kevin Feige has a vision, and he really understands these comic books. He gets it. You can"t argue with that when there is a true vision there."

For situations like designing for Spider-Man and Black Panther, Makovsky not only turned to Feige and the Russos, but also the designers on the two upcoming standalone movies, 2017"s Spider-Man: Homecoming and 2018"s Black Panther.

"The directors for each different film, they have a true vision of how to translate that to their film, and also what kind of costumes they want. What is the palette? What is the tone?" said Makovsky. "These characters go from my movie to somebody else"s movie, or their character comes in my movie. Absolutely you collaborate with these other designers and the other films. It"s a very unusual concept. Other films -- when you"re not working for Marvel, it doesn"t work that way."

Spider-Man: Homecoming hits theaters on July 7, 2017, while Black Panther is due out on February 16, 2018. Marvel"s Captain America: Civil War arrives on Digital HD, Digital 3D and Disney Movies Anywhere on September 2nd, and on Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD and on-demand on September 13th.

How Captain America: Civil War Star Sebastian Stan Felt Watching The Movie For The First Time

New Captain America: Civil War Stills Feature Spider-Man, Black Panther, More - IGN News
One of the most highly anticipated movies of 2016 is the upcoming superhero ensemble piece Captain America: Civil War. After building a universe and lineup of heroes over the course of eight years, well now be able to see all the superpowered individuals duke it out amongst themselves. Hype for Civil War only increased with both trailers for the film, which gave us just enough of a tease, without giving away too much. But now the question is: how good will the film actually be?

Much of the conflict in Civil War revolves around Captain America (Chris Evans) and his relationship and loyalty to his former best friend Bucky aka The Winter Soldier, played by Sebastian Stan. Stan recently spoke out regarding his reaction to seeing Civil War for the first time, saying:

I sat there and basically there was a bowl of candy and fruit and gum in front of me and then there were sparkling waters and I basically sat on the edge of my couch the entire time and ate through the entire bowl of candy. I was overly stimulated with this movie, which Im so proud to be in because everyone is f*****g awesome in it. Everyone is f*****g fantastic. I walked out of it speechless, and I worked on the movie and I was there! I walked out of there and I had back pain from leaning.

Well, thats a glowing review to say the least. Bowl of candy aside, Sebastian Stans comment seems to tell us a something about the upcoming third chapter of the Captain America franchise.

Not that is is a huge surprise, but it seems like were going to be getting a ton of action during Civil War. We all knew that there was going to be a giant super powered battle at the climax of the film, including the brand spankin new Spider-Man, but now it seems that the fighting and battles will be pretty consistent throughout. In order to keep Sebastian Stan, who worked on the project, at the edge of his seat then things must be pretty wild. Considering that Captain America: Civil War has a pretty long runtime of 2 hours and 26 minutes, something big has to happen in order to keep the audiences attention for so long.

Of course, given how epic the newest trailer is, I doubt Ill be bored at anytime throughout the new film. Check it out.

Just like Sebastian Stan said, this movie looks pretty action-packed. So get your bowl of candy and prepare for some minor back problems, because the Civil War is going to be intense.

Captain America: Civil War flies into theaters May 6th, 2016.

Dig Deeper Into The New "Captain America: Civil War" Trailer With 10 Things You May Have Missed

Captain America Civil War Trailer 2 Breakdown! (Nerdist News w/ Kyle Hill)

Subscribe to UPROXX

The final trailer finally dropped for Captain America: Civil War on Thursday, and Dan already took us through a great GIF breakdown of things we learned from the new footage. Now we continue to speculate on what might happen in the movie because, no, we cant just wait to see it in theaters. Thats madness.

Mr. Sunday Movies whom you may remember from his previous deep dives into the trailers for Suicide Squad, Deadpool, X-Men: Apocalypse, and Batman V Superman put together the video above going through ten easter eggs to be spotted in the new trailer. Among them is the very Steve Ditko inspired Spider-Man suit with large back logo and constricting eyes, but the suit also seems to have been influenced by Iron Man, who may have helped Spidey build these extra web cartridges into his belt, something I missed on the first viewing:

How Spider-Man"s Costume in Captain America: Civil War Differs From What"s Come Before

Captain America: Civil War - Trailer World Premiere

Look out, here comes the Spider-Man (to the Marvel Cinematic Universe)!

There"s only about 5 seconds (literally) of footage of the new wall-crawler out there now, coming as a "post-credits" tag to the new trailer released Thursday, but it"s enough to get a sense of the character - and his look - compared to what"s come before on the big screen in Sony"s Toby Maguire-led Spider-Man and Andrew Garfield-led Amazing Spider-Man film franchises.

First impression? It"s a much smoother, simpler design, without unnecessary lines and textures thrown in the way of what should be there: red, blue, spider emblem, webs.

The youth of Tom Holland, and his version of Peter Parker, is hard to note on a quick, fully-costumed shot like this, but the actor, trained in dance and acrobatics, shows off his athleticism with a flip and landing that"s signature Spidey. The unique background of Holland, compared to the other actors who"ve played the role, should make for some truly spectacular fight scenes when he gets a true chance to shine in his own films and future team-ups, with less CGI than what"s come in the past. Note, all the actors who portray Spider-Man in the "Marvel Universe LIVE" traveling show are dancers with an equal amount of break-dancing, gymnastics, and martial arts training - having an actor with a similar background should change the way we see Spidey move on screen, and that"s seen even here in the 5-second shot. Remember, there were videos of him doing similar flips on his own, prepping for the role, so it"s possible and even probable that he at least motion-captured the moves, if not performed them in costume himself.

The costume had to be different and stand out from the two costumes we"ve seen on Spider-Man on the big screen in the last fourteen years, but still remain the recognizable and iconic image we"re used to, so that the general public looks at it and absolutely says, "Yes, that"s Spider-Man."

The Amazing Spider-Man costume added a lot of blue, both on the sides of the torso, around the arms (though there was a wrap-around red stripe there, still, too), and all the way into the hands and fingers. The blue was brightened, as well, to be a slightly more natural than a navy blue. Gone, too, was the red webbing "belt" around the waist, and piping going from fingers all the way down to the built-in-boots accentuated the lines of Spidey"s body. The spider emblem on the chest was narrower, with a longer body and legs, but less wide on the chest overall, to accommodate the narrower strip of red down the rest of the torso.

The new Spider-Man costume, then, takes a middle stance between the two, really. There"s a slightly wider strip of red down the torso, and the red "belt" around the waist has come back, but it"s mixed in with blue, not a straight red band. The torso strip ends right at the waist, instead of extending slightly below the hips as both previous versions did. The arms still have a lot of blue, with the entire sides and under-arms down to the elbow covered. The red and blue then link together, giving the appearance of an armored armband of sorts, with blue wrists and then all-red gloves, or at least it looks like it from the first real shot of his arms, mid-flip and out of focus. A full blue ring just under the shoulder completes the "gauntlet armor" look to his arms, borrowing from knights and archers alike.

The Spider-emblem is actually the smallest it"s ever been, barely visible even in a close up. The legs have much sharper lines to them with no curvature, ending up pointing straight up or down, and the Spider"s abdomen and thorax are basically one large egg-shape, rather than distinguishable sections like they have been on both previous costumes.

(Photo: Marvel Studios)

Of course, the biggest difference is the addition of the rumored (and now confirmed) lenses in his eyes, letting him focus down into a squint (if you missed it, compare this image to the one closer to the top). We don"t know exactly what those will do just yet - are they just still photo cameras? Is he looking through a heads-up-display like Iron Man, who is rumored to help him construct his costume? We"ll find out in a couple of months.

That"s what we can gleam from our first, brief shot of Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We"ll see much more on May 6, 2016 when Captain America: Civil War officially debuts.

Chadwick Boseman On Black Panther In "Captain America: Civil War": "You Meet Me As The Prince Of Wakanda"

Marvel"s Captain America: Civil War - Trailer 2 - REACTION

Chadwick Boseman has revealed some fascinating new information on the character of TChalla/Black Panther in Marvels upcoming Captain America: Civil War, via Marvel.com. Boseman, who has played James Brown and Jackie Robinson and has been cast as the lead in the Thurgood Marshall biopic, has done a lot of research and preparation to play the Black Panther. The actor discussed how he carefully chose his accent for the character, his place in the film, and how it feels to be portraying this character in a film before his own solo debut.

You meet me as the Prince of Wakanda, Chadwick Boseman says of his characters debut in Civil War, stressing that the audience should not expect to see an origin story in this film. You meet me as a politician/monarch, not as a superhero. [But,] I am already a Black Panther.

The Get On Up actor had to do his fair share of comic book research for the character prior to arriving on the Civil War set.

I was not totally familiar [with him], Chadwick Boseman admits. I think what you try to do is just get your hands on every single comic book you can find that has the character in it, or him being mentioned or anything. Ive just tried to read them allnot like its really work. It is work dont get me wrong it is work, but its just sort of reading them like a kid, you know? Because when you just read it like its work, youre just trying to get through it. Its putting yourself in that mind frame to go through the mythology in a fun way.

We Are Wakanda (@WeAreWakanda) March 9, 2016

Black Panthers home of Wakanda will not actually appear on screen, to the dismay of many fans who were hoping to see a glimpse of the highly technologically advanced country. Were going to have to wait for Black Panthers solo outing in 2018 to see Wakanda in all of its glory. However, the presence of Wakanda is said to be felt throughout the film, and what happens in Civil War will tie-in to the Black Panther solo film. TChallas decision to leave the country of Wakanda to be in America the reason for which is not yet known, though some have speculated that he is specifically heading after Sebastian Stans character Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier will more than likely be referenced in his solo film.

Also, Ive gone to South Africa, gone to some places, to see some things that I think relate to the character, Boseman said, and let those things fuel your workouts, fuel your sessions when you work on the part. Captain America: Civil War co-director Joe Russo praised the work Chadwick Boseman did on his accent, saying he found a regional accent based on where Wakanda would be.

OFFICIAL: Ryan Coogler to direct Marvel"s #BlackPanther! https://t.co/x9WYGXbjwS pic.twitter.com/JUvZEgVAUf

Marvel Entertainment (@Marvel) January 12, 2016

Chadwick Boseman appearing on set for the first time in the Black Panther costume was a very emotional day for many on the set, according to Joe Russo. He also doubled down on his praise of Bosemans portrayal, detailing how the character moves like no other character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Hes not the strongest, [and] hes not necessarily the fastest, but hes strong and hes fast, Boseman states.

Ryan Coogler, director of Creed and Fruitvale Station, has been tapped to direct Chadwick Boseman in the solo Black Panther movie, set to release in February, 2018.

Meanwhile, there should be a new Captain America: Civil War trailer that drops sometime today, and it may or may not heavily feature a certain web-slinging teenager. Disney has confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that Captain America: Civil Wars runtime is 2 hours and 27 minutes, making it the longest Marvel Studios film thus far.
