This year’s Marvel portion of the Entertainment Showcase at D23 was full of exciting news, and a web-slinging update has been announced. The Spider-Man series first announced in 2022 is still being worked on, and it’s got a snazzy new title: Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. This show will be animated with a style that stresses comic book styles and bright colors, and will feature a new Spider-Man suit that reflects the hero’s early stages. The multiverse has opened up a fair few plot opportunities within the MCU. This series puts its own spin on Peter Parker’s origin story in an alternate universe. Rather than Tony Stark stepping in as his mentor, Norman Osborn takes on that role.

A decent amount of the cast is being kept under wraps at this time, but a few have been named. Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio will step in to voice the animated counterparts of their live-action characters Daredevil and Kingpin. Colman Domingo is stepping into the role of Norman Osborn, and Paul F. Thompkins is taking on the role of Bentley Witman. Finally, Hudson Thames is reportedly reprising his role as Peter Parker; the actor first voiced the character in Marvel Studios’What If…?

The original title was Spider-Man: Freshman Year, drawing a similar name format as the Tom Holland films; the new title draws a separation line between these two versions of Peter Parker and highlights the different universe aspect of this show.
