Marvel's YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDER-MAN Animated Series Reportedly Delayed Until 2025
It sounds like we’re going to have to wait a little bit longer before we’re able to enjoy Marvel’s upcoming animated series Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.
The series was supposed to premiere in November 2024, but according to a new report from The Cosmic Circus, the series has been delayed and won’t be released until 2025.
The report said: “We can report that our sources have informed us of a delay for Marvel animated series, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man until 2025. Sorry, Spidey fans!
“We're waiting for more information on this show, such as more specifics on when it will finally be released. Hopefully, the wait won't be too much longer to see it on Disney+!”
The animation in the series is inspired by the Steve Ditko style of comic book art, and the series takes place before 2016's Captain America: Civil War, but with a noticeable key difference.
“Rather than coming home to his apartment to see Tony Stark in his home, it’s none other than Norman Osborn who’s chatting up his Aunt May when he walks through the door.
“And much like how meeting Tony thrust Peter into a spotlight larger than the kid needed, Peter having Norman as his mentor ‘sends his life in an unexpected trajectory that collides him with many unexpected characters in the Marvel universe.”
The show’s head writer and showrunner, Jeff Trammell, also shared some insight into the series saying that the crew is looking forward to creating moments for kids just starting their Spider-Man journeys.
At the same time, the scribe is also gently preparing some older viewers to not rest on their laurels when it comes to the Web-Slinger.
"I want to give a cliche 'expect the unexpected' answer. But, honestly I think you can expect Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. It's him, he's hanging around New York. It's not like a huge intergalactic adventure, it's him just like at his roots.
“And there's a lot of things, that I think, we as a fan base kind of take at a first glance. Like, 'Oh yeah I know this works I know that's part of the story.'
"That's been really fun to dig into. Well, maybe you don't know everything. Or maybe, there are certain things that you're kind of like 'Oh yeah, I know that part. No surprise there.'
“And, I'm really excited to dig into those, because it's really fun to be able to subvert those expectations when they've been built up for so long."
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.
