Spider-Gwen & More Confirmed For ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN: "Return To The Spider-Verse" Arc
Ultimate Spider-Man has officially announced the impressive voice cast for its upcoming Spider-Verse event and there's some heavy hitters on-board, including Christopher Daniel Barnes & Will Friedle!
Get ready to head back into the Spider-Verse this weekend when Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man kicks off its epic four-part "Return to the Spider-Verse" event!
The new event will serve as a sequel of sorts for the original Spider-Verse event that took place last season. Details on the plot have yet-to-be revealed, but the storyline is said to follow Spider-Man & Miles Morales for the most part, which likely means it will center around Peter trying to find a way to get Miles back into his own dimension. On another note, IGN has obtained a ton of details on which Spiders are set to appear and I've broken it down for you below:
-
Part 1
-
Ben Diskin, who voiced Eddie Brock/Venom in The Spectacular Spider-Man & Spidey himself in Lego Marvel Super Heroes: Avengers Reassembled, will debut as Blood Spider.
