Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is one of several announced projects from Marvel Animation, with confirmed cast members steadily emerging. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man was re-titled in December 2023, two years after it was announced as Spider-Man: Freshman Year. The animated Spider-Man series will release on Disney+ in the future and takes place in an alternate universe to the MCU's Earth-616/the Sacred Timeline.
Confirmed details for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man have revealed that it will feature a cavalcade of characters from Marvel Comics. These will include such Marvel mainstays as Iron Man and Doctor Strange, in addition to some lesser-known characters, including Tarantula, Speed Demon, and Wizard. Nevertheless, only a handful of roles have thus far been confirmed by the actors slated to portray them, including the following names.

Hudson Thames As Peter Parker Mad Men (2013), I Think You Should Leave (2019), What If…? (2021) Close Hudson Thames has been expected to reprise his role as Peter Parker for some time. This was then confirmed by Marvel at this year's D23 as Thames joined his co-star, Colman Domingo, on stage to formally introduce themselves as two of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man's main characters. A snippet of the show at D23 established that this variant of Peter Parker will receive his powers thanks to Doctor Strange, who inadvertently transports the fateful spider through a portal before it bites Peter and turns him into Spider-Man.
This will be the third time that Thames has voiced a Spider-Man variant, as he first took on the role of Peter Parker in the What If…? season 1 episode "What If…Zombies?!". He also voices Spider-Man in Disney's Wish cruise ship experience, Avengers: Quantum Encounter. Outside of Marvel, Thames is best known for his live-action roles in I Think You Should Leave and Mad Men, as Caleb and Mitchell Rosen, respectively.
Colman Domingo As Norman Osborn Fear The Walking Dead (2015-2023), Euphoria (2019), Rustin (2023) Close D23 2024 revealed that the voice of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man's Norman Osborn has one of the biggest Hollywood names attached, as Colman Domingo graced the stage alongside Hudson Thames. This universe's version of Osborn assumes the role of mentor to Peter Parker, similar to Tony Stark in the live-action MCU. Nonetheless, given Osborn's typically villainous role, his darker side will prevail as the series progresses, despite initially being Peter's "man in the chair."
Domingo was a popular fan-cast to replace Jonathan Majors as Kang in the MCU.
Domingo has a lengthy and decorated Hollywood history, though his most prominent role today is as Fear The Walking Dead's Victor Strand, a character he has embodied for over 100 episodes. He has received a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for his role as Ali in Euphoria and an Academy Award nomination for his lead role in 2023's Rustin. Domingo has also provided the voice for Bruce Wayne/Batman in 2023's DC podcast series, The Riddler: Secrets in the Dark.
Charlie Cox As Matt Murdock/Daredevil Stardust (2007), The Theory Of Everything (2014), Daredevil (2015-2018) Close In addition to reprising his iconic role as Matt Murdock in live-action in 2025's Daredevil: Born Again, Charlie Cox is lending his voice to an animated variant of Daredevil in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Cox revealed during Fan Expo Boston that he already voiced the lines for the show while filming for his cameo role in She-Hulk: Attorney At Law. Given the distance between the two, it is no surprise that Cox knows little about how these lines fit into the wider narrative, though he was afforded an early look at the illustrations at the time.
Charlie Cox will appear alongside his Daredevil co-stars including Elden Henson's Foggy Nelson and Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin in Daredevil: Born Again.
Cox is most famous for his role as Matt Murdock, debuting in the self-titled Netflix show that was recently confirmed to be at least loosely MCU canon. Daredevil: Born Again will reintroduce Matt Murdock to the MCU in earnest after he made cameos in Spider-Man: No Way Home, She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, and Echo. Cox's breakout Hollywood role was as Tristan Thorn in 2007's Stardust, and he has since appeared in Boardwalk Empire and The Theory of Everything.
Paul F. Tompkins As Bentley Wittman Tenacious D In The Pick Of Destiny (2006), There Will Be Blood (2007), BoJack Horseman (2014-2020) Close SDCC 2022 briefly touched on Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man during a Marvel Studios Animation Panel hosted by Paul F. Tompkins, where it was revealed that he would be portraying Bentley Wittman. In Marvel Comics, Wittman bears the moniker of Wizard, a super-genius whose MO is similar to the likes of other genius supervillains like the Master, as he creates devices and technology to hamper his enemies. Wittman's Wizard moniker comes from his stage performances as a magician who deploys his tech to aid in his illusions.
With comedian Tompkins in the role, Wittman may likely be a font of comic relief. Tompkins' most famous roles are as comedic characters, including Mr. Peanutbutter in BoJack Horseman and the Open Mic Host in Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny. Tomkins has, however, embodied more serious roles in Hollywood, with standout examples including the Oscar-winning There Will be Blood, in which he portrayed Prescott, though it appears that Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man will be decidedly more lighthearted.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Rating Pending Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is a 2D-animated series that retells Peter Parker's early years and pays homage to the character's original comics. Although Marvel Studios produces it, the show does not occur in the same MCU continuity as Tom Holland's live-action Peter Parker. Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio reprise their roles as Daredevil and Kingpin.
