Marvel Studios has released the first trailer for its upcoming animated series Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Manand it looks like it’s going to be a great show! I was thrilled with this!
I’m a big fan of the series’ animation style, which, as you’ll see, is inspired by the Steve Ditko comic art style.
The series follows Peter Parker and his journey to becoming Spider-Man in the MCU. The series is set in an alternate timeline, where the webslinger’s origin story features a mentorship from Norman Osborn (of Oscorp fame), the alter ego of arch-enemy Green Goblin, instead of Tony Stark.
Head of Animation at Marvel, Brad Winderbaumpreviously spoke about the series, saying, “I mean, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is nothing short of fantastic. I think it’s really going to surprise people. It’s very much like a Steve Ditko era cut of the comics.” .”
He went on to explain, “It’s Peter Parker in high school trying to make things work, taking care of his aunt, being completely broke and having to be a superhero.
“It’s essentially Spider-Man, and what Jeff Trammell, the creator of that show, did, which I think people will love, was build this set of characters around Peter that you fall in love with.”
He added: “Likewise, just because it’s a long-form narrative, as those relationships come about as the stakes get raised in the first season, things feel really tragic and dangerous, and quite unbelievable. So I love that show.”
The voice cast of the series includes Hudson Thames (What if…?) as Peter Parker, Eugene Byrd (Spidey and his amazing friends, 8 miles) as Lonnie Lincoln, Song of Grace (Make fun of) in the role of Nico Minoru, Hugh Dancy (Hannibal) in the role of Otto Ottavio, Kari Wahlgren (FLCL, Rick and Morty) like Aunt May, and Zeno Robinson (My Hero Academia, Pokemon Master Journeys: The Series) as Harry Osborn. Also includes Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock / Daredevil alongside Paul F. Tompkins as Bentley Wittman/Magician.
The head writer of the series is Jeff Trammell AND Mel Zwyer is the supervising director.
The 10-episode series arrives on Disney+ on January 29.
