Marvel Studios’ Head of Marvel Streaming, Television and Animation Brad Winderbaum has teased a few details about Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Marvel’s upcoming animated Disney+ series. The show takes place before 2016’s Captain America: Civil War, but with a noticeable key difference.
Rather than coming home to his apartment to see Tony Stark in his home, it’s none other than Norman Osborn who’s chatting up his Aunt May when he walks through the door.
And much like how meeting Tony thrust Peter into a spotlight larger than the kid needed, Peter having Norman as his mentor ‘sends his life in an unexpected trajectory that collides him with many unexpected characters in the Marvel universe.
Winderbaum released those details last month, and now we have a few more. In a recent interview with the Official Marvel Podcast (via CB), Winderbaum said:
“There are twists and turns in that show that are amazing, but the real power is the ensemble, is the neighborhood.”
He noted that Jeff Trammel previously had a similar dynamic in Craig of the Creek.
“He’s amped that up in such a major way playing with characters like — not just Peter Parker — Nico Minoru, Lonnie Lincoln, my personal favorite, Harry Osborn, and others that flesh out this teenage ensemble.”
The voice cast for the series includes Hudson Thames (What If…?) as Peter Parker, Eugene Byrd (Spidey and His Amazing Friends, 8 Mile) as Lonnie Lincoln, Grace Song (Kidding) as Nico Minoru, Hugh Dancy (Hannibal) as Otto Octavius, Kari Wahlgren (FLCL, Rick and Morty) as Aunt May, and Zeno Robinson (My Hero Academia, Pokemon Master Journeys: The Series) as Harry Osborn. It also includes Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock / Daredevil along with Paul F. Tompkins as Bentley Wittman / Wizard.
Are you looking forward to this series?
