Marvel comes out swinging with the first trailer for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man
After a largely successful 2024, Marvel is hoping for another great year in 2025. The comics giant has endured a torrid time throughout 2023, so the Disney subsidiary will have been excited about last year’s several success stories, such as the multibillion-dollar to make Deadpool and Wolverine.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) will continue to do everything it can to replicate these victories this year, starting with Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man (YFNSM). An animated Marvel Phase 5 series debuting on Disney Plus on January 29, it reimagines the iconic web-slinger’s origin story, subsequent superhero adventures, and how he marries the latter with his high school studies. With its modern take on Peter Parker and his wall-crawling alias, plus its comical, cel-shaded animation, YFNSM will aim to get 2025 off to an *ahem* spectacular start for Marvel.
