Young Peter Parker in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.

Peter Parker is back in action in a new Spider-Man animated series headed toDisneyPlus next year. Although technically connected to the MCU, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man takes us back to the early days of Peter’s crime-fighting adventures and is set in an alternative world where Norman Osborn is his mentor, rather than Tony Stark.

“I’ve had the privilege of writing a lot of Spider-Man’s adventures, both in comics and inthe Insomniac video games, but one thing I’ve never gotten the chance to do is recount his earliest exploits,” said Gage in a statement about the series. “And the exciting part about this book is it’s a brand new take on those formative times. While this is definitely Peter Parker, the Spidey we know and love, he’s got a new cast of supporting characters – including Nico Minoru, who you may know from Runaways – and some surprising twists!”
