Among the announcements made by Marvel at the San Diego Comic-Con was the reveal of a new Spider-Man series, set to debut on Disney+ in 2024.
Yep, that's the full title. Marvel & Disney have a commitment to at least two seasons of the series, with season 2 changing the subtitle to Sophomore Year. What is not clear is what the Freshman Year refers to, either Peter Parker being rebooted back to high school, or it's his freshman year in college. He's been depicted as both a high school & college student in various animated iterations in the course of 55 years of television.
What we do know is that characters such as Harry Osborn, Peter's roommate in college and the 2nd Green Goblin, and Amadeus Cho, a more recent character more closely associated with The Incredible Hulk, will be part of the supporting cast. Villains will include Speed Demon, Chameleon, Green Goblin, and........the Kingpin.
The biggest part of the announcement was the fact that Vincent D'Onofrio will reprise as Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin, not only in this series, but a pending Daredevil reboot, also ticketed for 2024 for Disney+, and, in lockstep, Charlie Cox, who a brief cameo as Matt Murdock in "Spider-Man: No Way Home", will play Murdock/Daredevil again. The live-action Daredevil: Born Again is an 18 episode series, and likely adapts a classic story arc from years past.
The role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man has not been publicly announced. Stay tooned.
