Marvel Studios brought an unforgettable presentation to Hall H at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con with a program led by Marvel Studios’ President and Producer Kevin Feige.

“Avengers: Doomsday”
The evening presentation featured an astounding “Avengers: Doomsday” mega-panel moderated by Feige. Feige welcomed directors Anthony and Joe Russo to the stage along with cast members of “Avengers: Doomsday,” including Oscar® winner Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal, Paul Rudd, Anthony Mackie, Simu Liu, James Marsden, David Harbour, Letitia Wright, Lewis Pullman, Kelsey Grammer, Danny Ramirez, Winston Duke, Hannah John-Kamen, Rebecca Romijn and Tenoch Huerta Mejia. Hayley Atwell also joined the panel, confirming she will return in the new film as Peggy Carter.

Synopsis: After the record-breaking global success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Spider-Man: Brand New Day marks an entirely new chapter for Peter Parker and Spider-Man. Four years have passed since the events of No Way Home, and Peter is now an adult living entirely alone, having voluntarily erased himself from the lives and memories of those he loves. Crime-fighting in a New York that no longer knows his name, he’s devoted himself entirely to protecting his city — a full-time Spider-Man — but as the demands on him intensify, the pressure sparks a surprising physical evolution that threatens his existence, even as a strange new pattern of crimes gives rise to one of the most powerful threats he has ever faced.

Season 5 of the megahit preschool series “Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends” will premiere Monday, July 13, 2026 on Disney Channel, with five episodes available the next day on Disney+.
Two new Shorts:
This season will introduce a new “Rescue-Webs” story arc in which Team Spidey is able to tackle even more daring rescues with their new Spidey-themed firetruck and rescue gear. Along the way, they will team up with Super Hero friends Rocket, Groot, Mr. Fantastic and Silk.
Rocket (voiced by Trevor Devall) & Groot (voice by Kevin Michael Richardson): The fan-favourite duo is back to lend a hand to Team Spidey and will make multiple appearances throughout the new season.
Mr. Fantastic (voiced by Mario Lopez): The leader of the Fantastic Four uses his ingeniousness and stretching powers to tactfully help Team Spidey beat the baddies.
Silk (voiced by Avelyn Choi): She will swing into action, using her powerful ricochet webs to save the day.
Season 5 also introduces new baddie Symbie, an adorably cute symbiote who wreaks havoc on Team Spidey.
“Meet Symbie” plus nine all-new “Meet Spidey and his Amazing Friends” will premiere tomorrow on Disney+.
All episodes of the first four seasons are available to stream on Disney+.
About “Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends”
“Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends” follows the adventures of Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy and Miles Morales as they team up with Super Heroes to defeat foes and learn that teamwork is the best way to save the day.
An exciting new lineup of “Rescue-Webs”-inspired toys, including a Symbie Factory Playset from Hasbro, will be available at major retailers later this summer.
“Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends” is produced by Disney Jr. and Marvel Studios in association with Atomic Cartoons. Harrison Wilcox, Bart Jennett and Chris Moreno are executive producers, alongside Becca Topol, who serves as producer/story editor, and Steve Grover as supervising producer. Patrick Stump (“Fall Out Boy”) is the series’ songwriter/composer.
Today, Disney+ released a brand-new trailer, key art and images for Marvel Animation’s upcoming, original series “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.” The 10-episode animated series launches one month from today—January 29, 2025—exclusively on Disney+.
“Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man” 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 talented voice cast includes Hudson Thames, Colman Domingo, Eugene Byrd, Grace Song, Zeno Robinson, Hugh Dancy and Charlie Cox. The head writer is Jeff Trammell and Mel Zwyer is the supervising director. Brad Winderbaum, Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt and Trammell serve as executive producers.
Though this is a set-up for 2024’s SPIDER-MAN: BEYOND THE SPIDER-VERSE, SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE certainly had big shoes to fill as a follow-up to 2018’s Oscar-winning SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE. And does it ever exceed expectations. It was almost impossible to look away as each frame is packed with so much astonishing detail, that surely a blink results in a miss.
The directing trio of Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers and Justin K. Thompson take us spider versus spider in this latest installment as Mile Morales (Shameik Moore) travels across the Multiverse, encountering a team of Spider-People who are tasked with protecting it. He’s faced with realizing his own identity as a superhero, while these Spider-People feud over how to handle an imposing new threat.
SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE is equal parts substance as it is spectacle and the only unfortunate thing about it is that we’re left hanging. But what a cinematic feat this is. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Canada release this Blockbuster, available now on Digital and 4K UHD and BLU-RAY™. Our theatrical review here.
