MARVEL's SPIDER-MAN: Watch The Full Origin Story For The Latest Animated Incarnation Of Peter Parker
Ahead of the series premiere of Marvel's Spider-Man later this month, Disney XD has released six animated shorts that offer up a pretty detailed understanding of Peter Parker's latest origin story.
Hot on the heels of the blockbuster success of Spider-Man: Homecoming comes a brand new animated series that will tell the story of Peter Parker shortly after he becomes the friendly neighborhood wall-crawler.
While the new series will undoubtedly draw some inspiration from Homecoming, it also looks like it'll be heavily influenced by earlier incarnations of Spider-Man as the latest version's origin story seems to fall more in line with Spidey's classic origin, which we've previously seen depicted in Raimi's critically acclaimed trilogy.
Check out all six origin story shorts below:
In the new series, “Marvel’s Spider-Man,” we will see a fresh take on Spider-Man, as Peter Parker is learning the responsibility that comes along with being a new, super-powered hero in New York City, just as he’s being accepted into Horizon High, a high school for brilliant young scientific minds. He struggles with the duality of his social life at school and hiding his secret identity from everyone including his best friend Harry Osborn, who attends the competing Osborn Academy for geniuses. As Peter embraces his alter-ego and takes on super villains such as Vulture, Lizard, Doctor Octopus and Sandman, he watches his hero lifestyle come between his personal relationships and struggles to keep Harry from landing on the wrong side of the law.
