Whilst Marvel may have lost the rights to use Spider-Man in their movies, Disney can still use the character in a variety of other media, and the company is making the most of this by bringing Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends to Disney Junior in 2021.
The Marvel Animation and Family Entertainment series will follow Peter Parker, Miles Morales, and Gwen Stacey as Spider-Man, Spider-Man, and Ghost Spider respectively, as they battle villains and get in adventures. The series will also see them teaming up with other heroes, including Ms. Marvel, Hulk, and Black Panther.
'Preschool kids already love Spidey, so they'll be delighted to have Peter Parker thwipping across their screens in this new series,' said the senior vice president of Marvel Animation and Family Entertainment, Cort Lane. 'Everyone at Marvel is thrilled to launch our first preschool series on Disney Junior, the gold standard platform for the audience. We believe parents and kids will be excited about these stories filled with themes of friendship, cooperation, solving problems, and using your abilities to help others.'
Despite the series being obviously geared towards young children a number of 'fans' have taken to social media to complain about the show, claiming that it's aimed at too young an audience, or that it has somehow 'ruined' the original Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends from the 1980's. Thankfully, many more people have praised Marvel for making a show aimed at young children, and for the beautiful animation style.
Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends is set to premier on Disney Junior in 2021.
