Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is the latest Marvel series to arrive on Disney+, but is the animated show set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

A brief plot synopsis from Disney+ reads: "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is an animated series that follows Peter Parker on his way to becoming a hero, with a journey unlike we've ever seen and a style that celebrates the character’s early comic book roots."

The Mirror US reports there are several deviations from the main MCU timeline, the most significant being Norman Osborn (Colman Domingo) acting as a mentor to Peter Park (Hudson Thames) instead of Tony Stark. The series has seen a few changes since its announcement in 2021 and forms part of Phase Five of the MCU.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is an animated remix paying tribute to the character’s 1960s comic book roots. It takes the character back to a high school setting in a modern age but an alternate universe from that in the MCU.

Man, Hudson Thames, seemingly had some doubts about how the tone of the series would turn out. The show recently premiered its first two episodes on Disney+ and will follow a unique release pattern for its remaining chapters.

There's a Spider-Man for anyone and everyone -- whether it be in books, video games, movies or animation. But Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, the Disney+ show created by Jeff Trammell, hopes to blend every era of Spider-Man and please every type of fan.
