'Spider-Man' fans react to new voice actor for upcoming Marvel series

Fans are now buzzing with excitement following the exciting news by Marvel Cinematic Universe.

On Monday, Marvel dropped a trailer for the upcoming animated series Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man.

The show, scheduled to premiere on January 29, will follow Peter Parker’s early days as Spider Man.

However, the series introduces Hudson Thames as the voice of Spider-Man, taking over the role from Tom Holland.

Thames, who previously voiced Spider-Man in What If...?, has earned praise from fans.

A user on Reddit wrote, “When they cast the same actor who played Spidey in What If...?, I was expecting another Tom Holland impression. Since the show got reworked out of the MCU, it's nice they let the actor do his own thing.”

However, a fan appreciated the series concept of the story, commenting under the trailer on YouTube, “As cinematic as Spider-Man is, I genuinely believe a serialized show is the best fit for the character. Peter's life is a series of victories and losses and you only get a sense of how difficult his dual identity can be when you get to spend more than just 2 hours with him.”

It is worth mentioning that Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man series will also feature Norman Osborn as Peter’s mentor.
