New Spider-Man Cartoon Incoming

We’ve known about Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man for a while now and here’s our first full trailer! Not just a teaser. Not just a couple of images. It’s a full trailer for this incoming animated series. I think it looks…fine.

Looks fine. They didn’t seem to want to tease a whole lot of stuff in this trailer, like villains or whatnot. And the animation feels stiff, much like the third season of What If…? And there have been half a dozen different Spider-Man cartoons over the past few years, all aimed at children, so what sets this one apart?

I’ll tell you what sets this one apart…it might feature the Slingers!

I wonder if Hobie Brown is in there somewhere…

That’s a still from some comic-con and three of the four Slingers costumes are right up front! So clearly Peter Parker is going to go through multiple costumes (sans Ricochet, for some reason). What are the chances that those leftover costumes will eventually find their way to forming the Slingers?! A fool can dream.

Anyway, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is happening and it’s coming to Disney+ on Jan. 29, so pretty soon. Neato.

Did You See This Sweet Marvel Disney+ Trailer?

To coincide with the Agatha All Along finale, Marvel put out this sizzle reel of upcoming Disney+ releases. This teaser trailer delivers our first official looks at Daredevil: Born Again, Ironheart, Eyes of Wakanda, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and, especially, Wonder Man! Everything looks so good!

I remain a staunch fan of Marvel Studios content. Agatha All Along was very good and I really enjoyed the finale. And I can’t wait for these shows! I know people aren’t too excited for Ironheart, but I think it looks good! I prefer my Iron People to be nuts and bolts, not nanomachines. And Wonder Man could be a real sleeper hit. Daredevil: Born Again will hopefully live up to all the hype. And the various cartoons should be a hoot!

Granted, this means 2025 is going to be full of Marvel content, with three movies and now half a dozen shows. But I think Marvel just needs to burn off all these completed projects before they slow their releases. And I’m all for it!
