Marvel announced the cast and premiere date for its new animated series Marvel’s Spider-Man during the the comic giant’s panel at D23 Expo in Anaheim, Calif., on Friday.
The show, premiering Aug. 19 on Disney XD, takes a fresh look at Peter Parker as the superhero gets accepted into Horizon High, a high school for brilliant young scientific minds. He struggles to balance his social life while hiding his secret identity from his classmates while using his alter ego to take on supervillains.
Marvel’s Spider-Man voice cast includes Robbie Daymond (Bread Winners) as Spider-Man, Patton Oswalt as Uncle Ben, Max Mittelman (Transformers: Robots in Disguise) as Harry Osborn, Nadji Jeter (Jessie) as Miles Morales, and Alastair Duncan (The Batman) as Vulture.
A scene that screened during the D23 panel on Friday showed Spidey fighting with his Venom suit. “This is like some invasion of the body-grabbers. Get off me, you gooey goblin,” he yells.
The creative team includes executive producers Alan Fine, Dan Buckley, Joe Quesada, Jeph Loeb, Cort Lane, and Eric Radomski, with Stan Lee and Stephen Wacker as co-executive producers.
