Starting Friday, August 6, Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy, and Miles Morales will be teaming up to keep the Disney Channel and Disney Junior safe when the animated Marvel's Spidey and His Amazing Friends premieres. The series follows the trio's adventures as the young heroes team up with Hulk, Ms. Marvel, and Black Panther to defeat "big bads" such as Rhino, Doc Ock, and Green Goblin- and learning that teamwork is the best way to save the day along the way. The series voice cast includes Benjamin Valic (Sonic the Hedgehog) as Peter Parker, Lily Sanfelippo (Disney Junior's The Chicken Squad) as Gwen Stacy, and Jakari Fraser (Ben Is Back) as Miles Morales.
