SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN's Josh Keaton Voices [SPOILER] In YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDER-MAN Finale

In today's season finale of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Josh Keaton returns to the Marvel Universe as a character who is a huge part of Peter Parker's world. You can find more details here...

Josh Keaton first lent his voice to Peter Parker in The Spectacular Spider-Man animated series and he's since reprised the role in several video games (his animated Spidey also made a surprise appearance in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse). 

In recent years, Keaton has taken on the role of Steve Rogers/Captain America in What If...? and X-Men '97. Hudson Thames, meanwhile, plays the titular wall-crawler in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.

In today's season finale - you can read our full recap here - May Parker visits someone in prison who we soon learn is Peter's father, Richard Parker (the late Uncle Ben's younger brother). 

This is a major departure from the comics where Richard and Mary were killed in a plane crash when Peter was still an infant. Why he's behind bars will likely be addressed in season 2; the question is, does Spidey know that this is what's become of his dad or is May keeping that from him? 

We'll have to wait and see, but Marvel Animation has nailed casting Richard as Keaton lends his voice to the imprisoned patriarch of the Parker family. The actor has yet to comment on his cameo but did tease a possible appearance in the show yesterday evening.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man's season 1 finale didn't include a post-credits scene but ended with several teases, including Doctor Octopus' villainous future, a strong hint that Daredevil will return, and Lonnie Lincoln's continued transformation into Tombstone.

We don't know when the series will return but both season 2 and season 3 have already been confirmed by Marvel Studios.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man follows Peter Parker on his way to becoming a hero, with a journey unlike we've ever seen and a style that celebrates the character’s early comic book roots.

The talented voice cast includes Hudson Thames, Colman Domingo, Eugene Byrd, Grace Song, Zeno Robinson, Hugh Dancy and Charlie Cox.

The head writer is Jeff Trammell and Mel Zwyer is the supervising director. Brad Winderbaum, Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt and Trammell serve as executive producers.

In our review of the series, we concluded by saying, "Amazing, spectacular, and downright astonishing - Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man exceeds every expectation and is a true love letter to the world's greatest superhero...the end result is the ultimate Spider-Man TV series."

All episodes of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man are now streaming on Disney+.

Excellent show! Pleasantly surprised after the low expectations

Peters dad Richard being alive and in jail (and May knowing about it) really surprised me the hell out of me!!.

I wonder what comic backstory they’ll go with for him , will it be he and his wife were spies like in 616 or was he a scientist like in the Ultimate comics aswell as TASM series?

Anyway , very intrigued to see where this will go and bringing in Keaton to voice him was the cherry on top not only because he did well but due to his past connection with Spider Man as arguably the best voice for him!!.

Honestly , this show has done so many fresh things with the character that I wouldn’t be surprised if we get Teresa Parker , Peter’s long lost sister !!.

Thought it would be a multiverse thing. Ah well they could still do something multiverse saga related in season 2 or 3, leading up to their version of Doomsday.

Next year is the 60th anniversary of Marvel animation. Could be a good way of celebrating that.

@ObserverIO - So you actually want more multiverse? I guess more is inevitable to end all of this madness but I'll be happy when its in our rearview

I don't think the Multiverse is really going anywhere. People always enjoy different takes and elseworlds things, which collectively makes a hypothetical multiverse.
With that said, I'm sure they'll just establish different branches existing and put out stuff in clearly different universes but without the level of reference to and crossovers in a Multiverse narrative.

@ObserverIO - that could actually be pretty fun to see.

@ObserverIO - because of them needing to swap the Hulk for Lizard in the 90s cartoon for their big crossover with the Beyonder, Doom, Red Skull, and their respective heroes... I really want this Connors to be Lizard by then if they went that kind of route and were bringing in characters from this show.

Oh wow. Thought it was just going to be Cap again. That’s a pleasant surprise. Maybe this guy killed Uncle Ben?

@JFerguson - peter's dad killed uncle ben? That's way too dark

@JFerguson - Maybe they put him away for that but he's innocent and there's a deeper mystery leading back to Oscorp or Kingpin.

@JFerguson - the thought crossed my mind.

I can't get over the animation style of this and what if. Barely watched either.

What a incredible fresh new take on Spider-Man mythos from the new origin story to Richard being alive and in prision, everything works soo well! Looking foward to the next season.

Also Scorpion was truly terrifying and a real challenge to Spider-Man. I hope that we see more of Mac Gargan in the MCU.

Some commies took the opportunity to take an innocent White man and throw him in prison, shock.

This is bait to keep people subscribed to find out answers.

It's okay to cancel your Disney+ subscription and watch this for free at someone else's place.

Having Strange and Osborn as Peter's inspiration and mentors was certainly a dumb choice. They want this to be "their" spidey yet they can't help themselves. And [frick] Uncle Ben I guess lol. This idiot being alive is stupid!
