Spider-Man star Tom Holland has shared a look at a load of new merchandise for Avengers: Infinity War today – including several new action figures featuring the Iron Spider outfit Peter Parker will wear for the first time in the event movie.
The actor posted the image of himself with the merch as part of his contribution to Marvel Studios’ Hero Acts campaign. A number of stars from Infinity War are being sent a box full of toys related to their character, which they’ll then sign and donate to a children’s hospital. As can be seen here, Holland will also share a picture of himself with the goodies and, when said photo reaches 1 million likes on Twitter, the studio will donate $250,000 to the Starlight Children’s Foundation.
Holland’s post came with the following caption – “Guys we are Packing new Infinity War toys into a special #HeroActs delivery for children’s hospitals. Let’s make a difference!” – and can be seen in the gallery down below along with some other recent Infinity War merchandise.
For fans scurrying through images of upcoming merch in the hopes of spotting clues as to what to expect in Infinity War, Holland’s post gives us another look at an action figure that confirms a juicy detail about Peter Parker’s new threads. As can be seen within the package the actor’s holding, Spidey’s Iron Spider suit will come with spider-like arm appendages. Fans had been theorizing that these would make an appearance, as they feature on the comic book version of the suit, but we recently found out for certain that Infinity War would include them.
If you recall, Peter Parker’s new suit was unveiled at the end of Spider-Man: Homecoming, when Tony Stark formally offered him a spot as one of the Avengers. The hero turned the opportunity – and the suit – down at the time, but it looks like he’ll have to give himself an upgrade when Thanos comes a-knocking.
Avengers: Infinity War hits theaters on May 4th.
