YouTuber BBWB anim created an 18-second clip showcasing what Spider-Man is all about! The short clip perfectly shows Peter Parker's lighthearted and clumsy, youthful spirit!
- Peter Parker was using his super powers but wasn't in costume, rocking casual clothes with headphones! This makes it so memorable because you get this great energy that really brings Peter to life!

A Fresh Look At The Origin Story:
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, though a Marvel production, exists outside of the MCU’s main timeline that shows Tom Holland's Spider-Man, making it its own universe of adventure for these legendary characters! It will not just be Spider-Man getting another go, and even features familiar faces who bring great talents to the show! This is the 2D animation!
- Charlie Cox reprises Daredevil
- Vincent D'Onofrio brings back Kingpin
While there are some aspects that will come directly from the comics, fans can still hope that this animated take, like the short film shown will also have some special and unique features, keeping in the spirt of classic animation and a sense of pure fun. Even if we’ve already gotten plenty of live-action adaptations of Spider-Man’s origins, the possibility of seeing this youthful Peter Parker in action is enough to create buzz! It could turn out that this show adds a truly impressive animated show to a beloved character.
