The big question is whether or not this is a big shift in direction, whether for SpaceX or the industry at large. The firm hasn't been shy about its plans to make a spacesuit, and it even teased one in a Crew Dragon conceptual video last year. However, there's no guarantee that Fernandez's suit will look anything like what you've seen so far. We've asked both Ironhead (Fernandez's company) and SpaceX if they can shed some light on the subject.

Whatever's happening, this won't be an easy task for Fernandez. Spacesuits have understandably stricter demands for comfort, durability and safety -- a ripped suit will do a lot more than ruin a day of filming. He'll have to prove that his Hollywood experience can translate to attire that's as much functional as it is camera-worthy.
