Get an Extremely Close-Up Look at Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man Costume

by admin August 22, 2025

Spider-Man 2 is widely considered one of the greatest comic book movies of all time—if not the greatest—and now you can own a piece of Hollywood history, or at least admire it in some very up-close new photos, thanks to an upcoming auction offering Tobey Maguire’s screen-used Spider-suit. As a bonus, the suit was also used in the much less-beloved Spider-Man 3, so it’s also got some genuine Hollywood notoriety attached to it, too.

The suit is yet another jaw-dropping addition to Propstore’s upcoming mega-auction featuring such covetable memorabilia as Darth Vader’s lightsaber, Indiana Jones’ whip, and Sauron’s Lord of the Rings helmet, and bidding is not for the faint of heart. The Spider-Man suit is estimated to pull in $100,000-$200,000, but given how rare an item like this is, you have to imagine it could go even higher.

Here’s a bit more information from the auction catalog: “Created by Frontline Design under the supervision of Academy Award-winning costume designer James Acheson, this version of Spider-Man’s costume reflected refinements made for Spider-Man 2, including darker blue fabric, a more streamlined muscle silhouette, slightly reduced eye lenses, and an enlarged chest emblem. The suit consists of a red and dark blue one-piece stretch spandex bodysuit with integrated boots. The interior lining is gusseted and marked ‘3.S,’ a wardrobe notation that links it to the production use of Spider-Man 3. Zippers are discreetly positioned along the sides and lower back for entry.”

Who knew Spider-Man used zippers to get into character? For anyone who’s not, say, the billionaire scion of OsCorp with a particular interest in Spider-Man outfits, Propstore has shared a ton of detailed images so we can all take a gander at the iconic costume.

The auction takes place in early September; learn how to bid (and drool over all the other cool stuff for sale) here.

Jon Bernthal’s Punisher Will Hit the Big Screen in ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’

by admin June 21, 2025

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is starting to take shape at last with a key bit of casting news. Destin Daniel Cretton’s summer 2026 release—the fourth entry in the series centered around Tom Holland’s Spider-Man—has just added Jon Bernthal’s Punisher into the mix.

The Hollywood Reporter shared the news, and notes filming is set to begin this summer in England.

Bernthal’s character addition is some of the first news fans can grasp onto, as the rest of Brand New Day hasn’t shaken many plot details loose. We know Zendaya will be back as MJ, as will Jacob Batalan as Ned, but considering that mass memory wipe at the end of 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home—Peter Parker’s sacrifice to preserve the fragile multiverse—it’s unclear how much they’ll factor into the story.

We also don’t know which villains might pop up, or how the Punisher will fit into all of this. THR suggests the character could signal No Way Home will take a more “grounded” approach, but there’s no telling what plans Marvel has for him or Spider-Man, for that matter. The title obviously suggests a clean slate and a new start, so anything could theoretically be possible.

What are your thoughts on the Punisher teaming up with Spidey? Spider-Man: Brand New Day thwips into theaters July 31, 2026.

Helldivers 2, Spider-Man 2, and more PlayStation titles have been freed from their region lock prison on PC

by admin June 15, 2025

Sony have been making a lot of mistakes over the past couple of years, including things like mistakenly thinking they could release 12 live service games by 2026, but the more immediately annoying one is its whole PSN thing. I probably don’t need to remind you of that whole Helldivers 2 fiasco, where they tried to make logging into a PSN a requirement for those on PC and later scrapped this because it went down horrendously. However, there has been one other snag that came with all this PSN nonsense: region locking.

Despite being able to play Helldivers 2 without a PSN account, it was still unavailable in almost 180 countries, all of which you can’t make a PSN account in (it’s still possible to play the game with an account connected, which will likely have factored into the reasoning behind region locking the game). This has applied to Sony’s other PC ports of their PlayStation published games, except now, as shared by deals wizard Wario64, it seems a handful of them are now (mostly) region lock free.

Sony appears to be removing regional restrictions on their Steam/PC games

There are four total, including the aforementioned Helldivers 2, as well as God of War Ragnarok, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, and Spider-Man 2. Worth keeping in mind that these are all games that had their PSN requirements lifted earlier this year. From what I can tell there haven’t been any changes made to other PlayStation games based on their logs on SteamDB, but I’m also not entirely sure which games were and weren’t region locked, so your mileage may vary with their wider portfolio.

It’s a good move forward at least! Certainly seems like PlayStation are just shooting themselves in the foot by limiting where their games can actually be bought. Now the big question is whether or not their next big game (that isn’t Marathon) on PC will have a PSN requirement at all.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Collector’s Edition Gets $100 Limited-Time Discount

by admin May 28, 2025

Spider-Man fans can save on all three of Insomniac Games’ superb Spider-Man games for PS5 during PlayStation’s Days of Play 2025 sale. Deals on Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Miles Morales: Ultimate Edition allow newcomers to dive into the trio of open-world action-adventure titles for only $80 total. If you’re a huge Spidey fan, you’ll want to check out the massive discount on Marvel Spider-Man 2’s Collector’s Edition.

On sale for $130–a savings of $100–this PlayStation Direct-exclusive edition comes with a 19-inch statue of Venom alongside Peter and Miles, a steelbook case, and the $80 Digital Deluxe Edition. PS Direct offers free shipping on all orders. You could put some of cash you’re saving toward Dark Horse’s Deluxe Limited Edition Spider-Man 2 Art Book, which is on sale for nearly 50% off at Amazon.

Side note: If you like statues, make sure to take a look at Horizon Forbidden West’s Collector’s Edition while it’s in stock for only $80 (was $180).

Let’s take a closer look at the Spider-Man deals in PlayStation’s Days of Play 2025 sale.

$130 (was $230)

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s Collector’s Edition comes with a 19-inch statue featuring both Spider-Men–Peter Parker and Miles Morales–in a battle with a very large, very angry Venom.

The statue is the big selling point here, but you’ll also get an exclusive steelbook case. Unfortunately, the Collector’s Edition does not include the physical edition of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Instead, you’ll find a voucher for the Digital Deluxe Edition ($80 value). This edition comes with 10 bonus suits, five for Peter, five for Miles.

The Collector’s Edition was previously featured in PlayStation’s 2024 Holiday Sale, but it was priced at $150. Once this edition sells out, it won’t be coming back. It’s a bit surprising that it didn’t disappear over the holidays, but perhaps the $130 price point will make it happen.

And if you really want a disc to store in your steelbook case, you could use a portion of the money you’re saving here to buy the discounted standard edition detailed below.

$40 (was $70)

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was one of the biggest games of 2023, and it often still sells for its full $70 price.

Insomniac Games built on the formula from Marvel’s Spider-Man and Miles Morales, delivering the biggest and most dynamic open-world adventure starring Spider-Man yet. Well, Spider-Men, as the sequel features both Peter Parker and Miles Morales as playable characters. It’s a blast to swing around New York City as either Spider-Man, and each character’s unique combat abilities make switching back and forth between them a consistently satisfying experience.

$40 (was $70) | $20 for Miles Morales

Miles Morales bridges the gap between the two numbered entries in the series. It’s a smaller-scale experience that feels more like a meaty expansion than a brand-new game.

New players will want to opt for the Ultimate Edition, a value pack that includes Miles Morales and Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, a great enhanced version of the 2018 PS4 exclusive.

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales — $20 ($50)

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition — $40 ($70)
