In a few days, Your friendly Spider-Man Finally hit Disney+. You may not know this, though, because the Marketing For this it came a little late in the game, and only recently are we getting an idea of what to expect from the show.
Earlier in the week, Marvel released a pair of videos for Friendly neighborhood. While the First is a clip where Peter Parker (Hudson Thames) meets Nico Minoru Behind the scenes Featuring insight from head writer Jeff Trammell and others as they talk about making the first Spider-Man cartoon officially under the Marvel Studios banner. Since it's no longer completely tied to the MCU, there's an opportunity to take some new swings with the material, like making Norman Osborn (Colman Domingo) a mentor to teenage Spidey.

Honestly, that the show also has an actual theme might be reason enough to check it out: After Spectacular Spider-Man and Avengers: Earth's mightiest heroes Eventually, Marvel cartoons lost their theme songs in favor of quick title cards, which is disappointing when you think about how many themes set the tone for all shows, not just Capes. .
