SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Concept Art Takes A Closer Look At The Statue Of Liberty's Patriotic Redesign

Spider-Man: No Way Home made a huge alteration to a New York City landmark when it was transformed into a memorial for Captain America. We're not sure if it was paying homage to Sam Wilson taking over the mantle, but the most likely answer is that the change to Lady Liberty (which replaced her torch with Cap's shield) was meant to pay homage to the fallen Steve Rogers. 

It appears the world believes the Avenger is dead, and he very well could be following the events of Avengers: Endgame. Marvel Studios has yet to reveal what became of Steve after he gave Sam his shield, with not even The Falcon and The Winter Soldier providing any real clarification. 

We're betting there's a reason for that, and it likely hinges on whether Chris Evans can be convinced to reprise the role (there's already been chatter online that he's in talks for two MCU projects). 

Regardless, while this new Spider-Man: No Way Home concept art may be more technical than action-packed, it provides a fascinating insight into the Statue of Liberty's transformation. By the time Spidey's battle with that sinister quintet of villains was over, the shield had crashed to the ground, so it remains to be seen whether it will be restored or if the webhead will be blamed for wrecking another landmark.

The person who came up with the idea of giving a shield to the Statue deserves an award.



They were thinking like: Where could we put a battle for all the villains? Statue of Liberty? Nah, too lame... Oh, what if we gave the statue a shield?

@IcePyke - atleast a new lacing is better than the worn out bronze

I still think if it would've been cooler if they replaced the book with the shield and the torch with Mjolnir

@bkmeijer - I guess newyorkers just wanted to honor Captain America since he was from NY, iirc.

@SethBullock - iirc in the movie, even the majority of newyorkers were against the decision, they had like a poll on the news or something

Really don't understand the logic of doing that in universe. Like I get the impact cap had here and he deserves recognition, but why is the decision to alter an existing statue instead of making something new to honor him?

Not only that but there are laws protecting historic landmarks from random additions like this decades later. Otherwise we'd probably have had a giant big Mac on the statue of liberty by now.

@Origame - now that I think about, would the statue of Cap in Brooklyn exist in the MCU?

@bkmeijer - probably. Certainly more appropriate.

I feel like, in-universe, honoring one of the people who "died" (as far as the public know) to bring back 3.5 billion-ish people by changing the statue of liberty checks out. Especially with both Cap & the Statue's ties to America's past. Totall makes sense.

@SeanMPC - Plus he's like the only OG Avenger that's definetly from New York.

It's paying tribute to the one true Captain America,Steve Rogers.
