Peter Parker’s world is about to get a little crowded as several Marvel heroes and villains join him in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man animated series.
A new featurette for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man highlights several characters from the wider Marvel universe, such as Matt Murdock/Daredevil, Doctor Stephen Strange, the Avengers, and more. Charlie Cox from Daredevil: Born Again will lend his voice-acting skills to the show. Doctor Strange will also appear in one episode, although it is still unknown if Benedict Cumberbatch will voice Stephen in the show. Lastly, the Avengers will cameo in the show, with the video highlighting a glimpse of an airport scene similar to Captain America: Civil War.
New versions of Spider-Man’s rogues gallery are showcased in the featurette, including Scorpion, Doctor Octopus, Speed Demon, and what appears to be a female iteration of Rhino.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man tells the story of Peter’s early adventures as a costumed vigilante after being bitten by a radioactive spider. The show will explore his struggles with balancing school, friendships, relationships, and heroics. In a surprising twist, Norman Osborn, Spider-Man’s long-time nemesis in the main Marvel comics, will now serve as his ally.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man premieres on Disney+ on 29 January.
