Disney+ Day has brought a surprising array of updates regarding the Marvel Cinematic Universe, especially around what live-action and animated series will arrive on the platform in the months to come. In addition to already-announced projects, Marvel Studios announced a brand-new venture — an animated series titled Spider-Man: Freshman Year. The series is expected to follow Peter Parker / Spider-Man's early years before becoming the web slinger we all know and love. It is unclear at this point if Tom Holland will reprise his role, or if the part will be played by Hudson Thames, who voiced the character in What If…? earlier this year.

 

Freshman Year marks the latest animated Spider-Man adventure for Marvel Studios, after Peter factored pretty prominently into the zombies episode of What If…? Season 1. 

Quote

"Well, we can't talk too much about what may or may not be happening in Season 2," What If…? director Bryan Andrews explained to ComicBook.com. "But we do love Spider-Man, so who knows what may happen in the future. But yeah, we dig all that stuff, so it's just a question of if we're able to do enough shows or enough seasons, who knows what we'll get. We'll definitely be able to — hopefully, at that point — either revisit characters or revisit characters in a way that we've are familiar with and then spin them even something else differently. You know what I mean? But when it comes to Season 2, we can't say anything about that stuff."

 

"I think I did ask that early on. I was like, 'Can we just touch Spider-Man?'" What If…? head writer AC Bradley shared back in August. "And they went, 'Don't worry about it. We're going to figure it out. Just tell the best story you can, and we'll cross that bridge.' That was kind of the mandate across the board with Marvel: As long as you're not doing something that we're doing in the movies, go have fun and we'll figure it out."

According to our sources it looks like Tom Holland may not be reprising his role as Peter Parker in the animated series, Spider-Man Freshman Year. This is not the first time that Tom Holland won’t be reprising his role as Spider-Man in animated form, nor is he the only MCU star not to make the jump to animation. In the first season of What If…? Iron Man, Black Widow, Spider-Man and Captain America were all voiced by actors other than their MCU originators.

Disney+ Causes MCU Canon Confusion With New Spider-Man Show

Quote

The series is being developed by Marvel Studios and has been billed as taking place "in the MCU:" 

 

"The animated series follows Peter Parker on his way to becoming Spider-Man in the MCU, starting with his freshman year of high school of course. Peter’s journey in the series will be unlike we've ever seen."

 

Several new details on the upcoming Disney+ animated series, Spider-Man: Freshman Year were revealed at the Marvel Studios Animation panel at SDCC. This includes the fact that Peter will be mentored by Norman Osborn and pal around with Norman's son Harry in the series. Additionally, Spider-Man's classic foe Doc Ock will be featured as an antagonist in the show, even though Parker didn't encounter Octavius until Spider-Man: No Way Home.

 

What's more is that Doctor Strange will reportedly be a supporting player in Freshman Year, despite the fact that Strange didn't even have his powers during the time period in which the series is set.
