Marvel Studios has released the first trailer for its upcoming animated series Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, and it looks like it’s going to be a great show! I’ve been excited about this!I’m a big fan of the animation style in the series, which, as you’ll see, is inspired by the Steve Ditko style of comic book art.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 by Norman Osborn (of Oscorp fame), the alter ego to bitter enemy Green Goblin, instead of Tony Stark.Marvel’s Head of Animation, Brad Winderbaum, previously talked about the series, saying: “I mean, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is amazing, to say the least. I think it’s really going to surprise people. It is very much like a cut from that Steve Ditko era of the comics.”He went on to explain: “It’s Peter Parker back in high school just trying to make it work, take care of his aunt, completely broke, and having to be a superhero. “It’s so essentially Spider-Man, and what Jeff Trammell, the creator of that show, did, which I think people are going to love, is he built this ensemble of characters around Peter that you fall in love with.”He added: “Similarly, just because it’s long-form storytelling, as those relationships brew when the stakes rise in that first season, things feel really tragic and dangerous, and pretty incredible. So, I love that show.”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.The head writer of the series is Jeff Trammell and Mel Zwyer is the supervising director. The 10-episode series swings onto Disney+ January 29th.
