Marvel's Spider-Man returns for its third season, the aptly retitled
Spider-Man: Maximum Venom, on Sunday, April 19th on Disney XD, and if you couldn't already tell by the title, the new season will feature Peter Parker (Robbie Daymond) dealing with a full-blown Venom invasion.
In
Maximum Venom, the monstrous Venom symbiote will hit overdrive on his plan to destroy Spider-Man by bringing devastating reinforcements from its home planet to Earth and subsequently infecting a number of Marvel's most popular superheroes, including Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, Star-Lord, Groot and more.
Unlike the previous seasons,
Maximum Venom will be a self-contained story, albeit with a massive scale, spanning over six hour-long specials. It's essentially a six-part animated miniseries starring your friendly neighborhood webslinger.
The season will feature the returning voice talents of Robbie Daymond as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Ben Pronsky as Venom, Fred Tatasciore as Max Modell, Nadji Jeter as Miles Morales, Melanie Minichino as Anya Corazon/Spider-Girl, Laura Bailey as Gwen Stacy/Ghost-Spider, Scott Menville as Grady Scraps, Max Mittelman as Harry Osborn/Hobgoblin, Yuri Lowenthal as Curt Connors and Nancy Linari as Aunt May.
New additions include Felicia Day (
Supernatural) as Mary Jane Watson, Yvette Nicole Brown (
Community) as Head Administrator, Sofia Wylie (
High School Musical: The Musical: The Series) as Ironheart/Riri Williams, and
ZOMBIES 2 stars Meg Donnelly, Kylee Russell and Carla Jeffery as Symbiote Sisters Scream, Scorn and Mania, respectively.
Peter Parker has been Spider-Man for two (not exactly smooth) years. He’s faced many super heroic and personal challenges while managing to keep New York safe. Now going into his third year at the prestigious Horizon High, Peter is confident he can handle anything that comes his way but even he can’t imagine what’s next. Venom changes all that when he brings about a battle with global stakes.
