The 20-year-old Spider-Man costume test was shared via X/Twitter (via Marvel Facts) and depicts a number of the movie's main characters in their signature outfits. Among them are Spider-Man's iconic Lycra suit and the rudimentary getup he donned for his cage fight with Bone-Saw.

It is a video that serves as a reminder of where the many Spider-Man movies began, and where certain similarities also lie - especially when compared alongside the newer Spider-Man suits shown off in the MCU timeline, which have had plenty of their own video showcases in recent history.
