Marvel's Spider-Man Coming to Disney XD

Quote:

Headed up by story editor Kevin Shinick (Robot Chicken) and supervising director Philip Pignotti (Marvel's Avengers Assemble), the new show focuses on insecure yet courageous teenager Peter Parker as he learns that with great power comes great responsibility — especially when you get the strange abilities of a spider. "The simple title reflects a back-to-basics approach," says Cort Lane, senior vice president of Marvel Animation and Family Entertainment, adding that "it's just filled with heart and humor." The current Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man animated series — which has focused on teaming Spidey with Nick Fury and other young heroes while aligned with S.H.I.E.L.D. — ends its four-season run in January. Its two-part "Graduation Day" season finale will feature Spider-Man taking on archenemy Doctor Octopus and the Superior Sinister Six to save New York City. Next year is a big one for Spidey on the small and big screens. In addition to the upcoming animated series, there's also a cinematic reboot for the hero: British actor Tom Holland, who had a small role in this past summer's hit Captain America: Civil War, stars in Spider-Man: Homecoming, slated for release July 7.
