Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Clip: Double Trouble for Peter
Peter's outnumbered and overpowered in this clip from Marvel Animation and Jeff Trammell's Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.
After a double-episode debut last week, Marvel Animation and Jeff Trammell's Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man returns this week with not one… not two… but three episodes. To make sure that you're up to speed ahead of the mini binge, the animated series has passed along an official clip – one that offers Peter a not-so-friendly reality check that it's going to take a lot more than a "Little Web Trick" here and there to put down the "big bads" – especially when they start powering up.
With "Secret Identity Crisis," "Hitting the Big Time," and "The Unicorn Unleashed" set to hit Disney+ screens on Wednesday, February 5th, here's an official clip from Marvel Animation's Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man:
Featuring the voices of Thames, Colman Domingo, Eugene Byrd, Grace Song, Zeno Robinson, Hugh Dancy, Charlie Cox, and more, here's a look at a previously released featurette spotlighting the creative team and cast as they discuss how the animated series honors Spider-Man by celebrating his past in some new and interesting ways (and shares a look at some very familiar faces in the process):
During recent episodes of The Official Marvel Podcast, Thames, Trammell, Supervising Director Mel Zwyer, and EP Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt offer their respective perspectives on how the animated series came to life, what viewers can expect, and how Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is set to be a unique experience:
"It started out as 'Okay, it's Spider-Man's freshman year, he's going to be a freshman, can we get away with this being entirely in the MCU?' and very early on in the development process, we realized how locked in that actually made us. We couldn't really use his rogues gallery; we couldn't really use his origin. It was not fun, honestly. We would've had to put so many limiters on our story to get it to lock into canon," Marvel Television and Marvel Animation's Brad Winderbaum shared during an interview with Phase Zero, explaining why the series isn't set in the main MCU. "Every single project I've worked on, they've all had a life of their own…. You have to let them live their own lives and go where they want to go," he continued.
While viewers can expect Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man to offer its own take on both Peter Parker's and Spider-Man's early years, the animated series will still maintain those core Spider-Man principles – from both the big screen and the comic book pages. "It does have a lot of DNA that is very similar to the MCU depiction of the Tom Holland Spider-Man, but it really also draws all the way back to Steve Ditko. It's adjacent to the main continuity but really speaks to what is inherent about the character."
Produced by Marvel Animation, Disney+'s Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man sees Jeff Trammell as head writer and Mel Zwyer as supervising director. Trammell, Brad Winderbaum, Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, and Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt serve as executive producers.
