Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Teaser: See You After Class!
Thanks to Marvel Studios Canada, here's a new teaser for Marvel Animation and Jeff Trammell's Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.
On January 29th, Marvel fans will have a chance to check out what the universe of Marvel Animation and Jeff Trammell's Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man has to offer. The animated series follows Peter Parker on his way to becoming a hero, promising a backstory different from previous takes and done with an artistic style that's a respectful nod to the character's comic book roots (and looks great, based on what's been released so far). Voicing the series are Hudson Thames, Colman Domingo, Eugene Byrd, Grace Song, Zeno Robinson, Hugh Dancy, and Charlie Cox – and now, we're getting a new look at what's to come courtesy of a teaser that was released by Marvel Studios Canada.
With nine days to go, here's a look at the latest teaser for Marvel Animation's Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man:
"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.
