‘Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man’ Is Now Streaming on Disney+
Following up on the massive successes of What If…? and X-Men ’97, Marvel Animation has released the first two episodes of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man on Disney+.
Inspired by the early Spider-Man comic books brought to life by Steve Ditko and John Romita Sr., the new series follows the adventures of a teenage Peter Parker as he attempts to balance his life as a crime fighter with the everyday difficulties of being a high school student.
The Peter Parker that the audience meets in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man will be similar to the character that Tom Holland plays in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). There will, however, be one major difference.

Instead of meeting Tony Stark and being offered the Stark internship, Peter will come into contact with Norman Osborn, who takes him under his wing.
Expanding Peter Parker’s World
The new animated series was initially set to be titled Spider-Man: Freshman Year. As development continued, however, the show’s creative team realized that its scope was broader than just Peter Parker.
“There are twists and turns in that show that are amazing, but the real power is the ensemble, is the neighborhood,” Marvel’s Head of Animation Winderbaum explained.

“[Series creator Jeff Trammel has] amped that up in such a major way playing with characters like — not just Peter Parker — Nico Minoru, Lonnie Lincoln, my personal favorite, Harry Osborn, and others that flesh out this teenage ensemble.”
