First Trailer for “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man” Slings Spidey Into Marvel’s New Animated Series
Disney+ unveiled its first animated Spider-Man series over the holidays with this glimpse at Marvel Animation’s Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.
The trailer opens on the iconic theme song—you know the one—where “Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can” and was written by Bob Harris and Paul Francis Webster for the classic 1967 cartoon series. Peter Parker is voiced by Hudson Thomas, and we see just how far from a superhero Peter starts off to be; he’s hit by a car while he’s running late for school.
Yet this Peter does have a homemade Spidey suit, which he quickly puts on after slipping out of class to stop a crime. The criminals are not impressed and mock his costume. “Is my suit really that bad?” Peter asks honestly.
Iconic Spider-Man villain Norman Osborn, better known as the Green Goblin, is here voiced by the great Colman Domingo. Norman begins the series helping Peter, even fashioning him a new suit, a departure from the recent live-action films where Tom Holland’s Peter Parker gets his high-tech Spidey suits from Iron Man himself, Tony Stark.
The core of the Peter Parker character has always been his inherent goodness and the fact that, unlike other superheroes, he’s just a kid.
Check out the trailer below. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man swings onto Disney+ on January 29:
