Marvel Concept Design Turns Tom Holland Into A Freaky Spider-Man Variant

The story arc featuring a multi-armed Peter Parker is appropriately titled «The Six Arms Saga» and spans «The Amazing Spider-Man» issues 100-102 from late 1971. It all starts when Peter Parker tries a serum of his own creation to rid himself of his Spider-Man abilities. It backfires, and he ends up with four new arms. With the help of the Lizard, he has to track down Morbius the Living Vampire, since his blood is the key to healing both of them.

Though this is a somewhat goofy premise for a Spider-Man-centric story, it has become iconic since its publication. Longtime fans likely remember that the arc was prominently featured in the popular 1994 animated series. Thus, the minds at Marvel Studios can make numerous fans happy should they adapt it in some form. Unfortunately, the main MCU timeline lacks a Lizard at the time of this writing. The version of Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans) seen in «Spider-Man: No Way Home» hails from the «Amazing Spider-Man» universe and is healed of his lizard-like mutation in the end. The MCU is also without a Dr. Michael Morbius, though multiverse shenanigans could always bring Jared Leto’s take on the character over for a spell.

Does such an idea require some narrative legwork at the moment? Yes, but based on @spdrmnkyxxiii’s art, an MCU take on «The Six Arms Saga» could be a sight to behold.
