Although it reinvents the canon, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man understand one key aspect of the hero better than the MCU.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man 's iteration of the web head is a classic spin on Spidey - which gets back to the roots of what originally made him great: quintessential coming-of age stories colored by Pop era visuals and the American dream.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man premiered on Disney+ on January 29, 2025, and has already aired five episodes. The show is an animated retelling of Spider-Man’s origin story.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is having an identity crisis. Wednesday’s three-episode drop — “Secret Identity Crisis,” “Hitting the Big Time,” and “Unicorn Unleashed” — picks up where the first two episodes left off: with Norman Osborn (Colman Domingo) discovering that newest Oscorp intern Peter Parker (Hudson Thames) is Spider-Man.

When it comes to Marvel Cinematic Universe lore, few things have been more impactful than Captain America: Civil War, which signaled a seismic shift in the MCU’s future by introducing characters and moments Marvel fans still gush about.

Three new episodes of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man arrived on Disney+ on February 5, 2025. After a two-episode premiere, which introduced the audience to Peter Parker’s world and friends, the new episodes focus on new challenges for the superhero.

Unfortunately, because everyone is so dang interesting, the character who ends up being the least compelling is Peter Parker himself. [ Ed. note: This post contains some spoilers for the latest episodes of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.]

Marvel Studios Head of TV and Streaming Brad Winderbaum confirmed that Hudson Thames will reprise his role as Spider-Man in Marvel Zombies.
