We all know Peter Parker loves his city, but this time, your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is getting more neighborly than ever. The upcoming animated series, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, is taking us back to Peter Parker’s beginnings, peeling away the layers of iconic Spidey suits and Avengers-level drama to reveal something a little more raw and up-close. The brainchild of Jeff Trammell (Craig of the Creek), the show swings onto Disney+ in 2025, promising a charming, chaotic look at Peter Parker just as he starts to understand his newfound powers.
This version of Peter? Not quite the slick, Stark-tech-armed superhero we’ve come to know since Tom Holland first swung into Captain America: Civil War. Instead, Peter is a teenage kid with a makeshift costume, barely keeping it together. Forget Tony Stark—this time around, Peter’s mentor comes in the shape of Norman Osborn. Yeah, that Norman Osborn. It’s a multiverse twist that promises a fresh dynamic as we see Peter stumble through not just his powers but the everyday struggles of being a teenager in Queens. Think coming-of-age awkwardness mixed with superhero blunders—a double whammy that’s set to make this Spidey story uniquely relatable.
Who’s Lending Their Voices to ‘Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man’?
Leading the voice cast is Hudson Thames (The A-List), reprising his role as Peter Parker, whom he previously voiced in What If…?. Thames is joined by an ensemble that’s as dynamic as it is unexpected: Colman Domingo (Sing Sing) steps into the shoes of Norman Osborn, Eugene Byrd (8 Mile) takes on Lonnie Lincoln, and Hugh Dancy (Ella Enchanted) lends his voice to Otto Octavius. There’s also Kari Wahlgren (Rick and Morty) as Aunt May, Charlie Cox (Daredevil) bringing Matt Murdock back into the fold, Grace Song as Nico Minoru, Zeno Robinson (The Owl House) as Harry Osborn, and Paul F. Tompkins (BoJack Horseman) as Bentley Whittman. It’s a melting pot of talent, set to give this show a layered, textured vocal palette.
But the Spider-Verse wouldn’t be complete without a few other fan favorites swinging by. Expect appearances from Dr. Strange, Venom, and Rhino, who’ll drop in for an episode or two to add their own twist to Peter’s adventure. Whether they’re friends, foes, or somewhere in between, these guest stars are set to keep things unpredictable.
The series teaser gives us just a quick snapshot of Peter clumsily navigating his newfound powers—and let’s just say, this isn’t the confident Spidey we’re used to. It’s messy, earnest, and refreshingly personal. Trammell’s vision breathes new life into the character by leaning heavily on Peter’s struggles and wins outside of the mask, showing him as just another kid trying to figure things out.
For those eager to see a different take on the classic superhero, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man looks set to deliver a grounded, lighthearted adventure—one that’s more about Peter Parker than the suit. Stay tuned for more details on the official release date in 2025 and get ready for a truly neighborhood-centric swing into the Spider-Verse.
