The upcomingSpider - Man : Freshman Yearcartoon was shrouded in some arcdegree of privateness since its initial reveal last year , but last weekend at San Diego Comic - Con , more information on the show came to twinkle . Initially , it seemed likethe cartoonwould tell the fib ofMCU Peter Parkerin his other day of heroism , but now the actual plot of the show is … interesting , to say the least .
Freshman Year takes space before 2016 ’s Captain America : Civil War , but with a noticeable key departure . Rather than coming home to his apartment to see Tony Stark in his home , it ’s none other than Norman Osborn who ’s shoot the breeze up his Aunt May when he walks through the door . And much like how get together Tony thrust Peter into a spotlight large than the kid demand , Peter having Norman as his mentor “ send his liveliness in an unexpected trajectory that collides him with many unexpected characters in the Marvel cosmos , ” agree to Marvel ’s stream head Brad Winterbaum .
The big hook of the new show is , “ What If … Norman Osborn was Peter Parker ’s surrogate pa ? , ” and that put Pete on a collision course of action with characters that the MCU has n’t stake a firm claim on yet . The SDCC footage show Peter ’s ally , from Norman ’s son Harry to Amadeus Cho and Nico Minoru . Cho showing up here is n’t too surprising : before he nose up as a fellow member of the Hulk class , Disney’sUltimate Spider - Mancartoon portray Cho as a scientific rival to Peter , and eventually took on the Iron Spider mantle . Minoru , advantageously associated with the teenager grouping the Runaways , has no real connecter to Spidey , but the two heroes are include in the roster for 2 K ’s forthcoming Marvel strategy game , Midnight Suns .

Marvel ’s putting a big focus on the multiverse — both forSpidey specificallyand theMCU in ecumenical — but it ’s a secret how Freshman Year match into the larger scheme of the Multiverse Saga . Having a few universes get fleshed out beforehand of 2025 ’s Avengers : Secret warfare probably streamlining everything sure is n’t a regretful affair . But whether this new Spider - Man cartoon will do more than fill the checkbox of being another Spidey show and lead - in to a gravid MCU motion-picture show will have to wait until the first time of year of Spider - Man : Freshman Year hit Disney+ in 2024 .
