'Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man' Showcased At D23

Spider-Man fans may lament the lack of any Spider-Man 4 movie news at D23, however lucky attendees got a fresh look at what's to come in the upcoming animated series Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.


Sadly we can't show it, but we can at least talk about it. A new clip was shown to the attendees, showing Peter arriving at Midtown High only to bet with another arrival. Unfortunately, it's of the unfriendly kind, as a mysterious symbiote comes through the portal. Doctor Strange intervenes to stop the interdimensional symbiote, Runaways' Nico Minoru is in danger as the symbiote has its eyes set on her. Peter tries to save her but is bitten by a mysterious spider that follows the symbiote through the portal. A few months later Norman Osborn is seen mentioning Peter.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man with a Twist



Based on the aforementioned information this is a far cry from the source material where Peter is bitten by a radioactive Spider-Man, or in this case Spider-Man's MCU history, though it's worth mentioning that Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is in a totally different neighborhood from anywhere we know in the Marvel Universe. The series plays on Marvel's What If...? premise to introduce us to a familiar Spider-Man with a reimagined history as it plays by its own rules in its corner of the multiverse. One of the changes is that Spider-Man wears multiple suits including the Future Foundation suit.

Akin to Tony Stark's role as a mentor and father figure to the MCU's Spidey since the events of Captain America: Civil War, Norman Osborn is that mentor to Spider-Man in this alternate history. Norman Osborn will be voiced by Colman Domingo, while Peter Parker/Spider-Man will be voiced by Hudson Thames.

  • Hudson Thames as Peter Parker
