A new Spider-Man: Freshman Year image reveals the first look at nine villains from the highly-anticipated animated television series. The new Disney+ show will be included in Marvel's growing slate of animated projects alongside Marvel's What If...?, Marvel Zombies, and X-Men '97, a continuation of the original X-Men animated series from 1992. Spider-Man: Freshman Year is set to tell the beginning of Peter Parker's journey as he grows into the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man that Queens, NY grows to love.
Originally announced in November 2021, the upcoming Disney+ show was presumed to be a prequel series for Tom Holland's MCU version of the web-slinger. However, new information from this year's San Diego Comic-Con has revealed that the series will not exist within the MCU's canon. It was recently announced that Tom Holland will also not be cast in the show to voice the titular character. However, Daredevil was recently confirmed to be included in the series with Charlie Cox, the character's MCU actor, voicing the role.
