Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man releasing on Disney+ in 2024.

Marvel Studios and Disney+ describes the series as follows, “Storm and Wolverine try to continue the X-Men. Magneto comes in and wants to step up for Charles Xavier. Sinister comes in to try to end the X-Men once and for all.”

Rogue, Gambit, Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Gray, Beast, Cable, Bishop, Forge, and Morph are coming back to X-Men ’97 and will accompanied by Nightcrawler and Sunspot. X-Men ’97 follows Magneto leading the X-Men in Professor Xavier’s absence. Mister Sinister will serve as the main villain in the series. “Sinister is back in a big way,” X-Men ’97 head writer Beau DeMayo previously revealed. “He is going to be holding the X-Men’s fate in the fire and telling humanity…to face the future.”

While Season 1 seems to be safe, with Marvel including it in a sizzle reel for journalists taking in a couple of episodes from What If…? Season 2 early, anything beyond that remains a question. 

There have been some signs that perhaps Freshman Year (now titled Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man) Season 2 may not be longed for in this world after all. So, if this were to be a one-and-done project for Marvel, it would not be all that surprising.

Marvel Studios’ 2024 slate is growing by three. Though the studio’s film slate has been reduced to just Deadpool 3 for all of 2024, the Ryan Reynolds vehicle will be joined by a slew of series releasing on Disney+. Monday, Marvel Studios Animation announced both X-Men ’97 and Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man will be released in 2024, alongside a previously unannounced animated series titled Eyes of Wakanda.

Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is the new name for the series first announced as Spider-Man: Freshman Year while little else has been unveiled about Eyes of Wakanda. The news surfaced at a Marvel’s presentation of What If…? Season Two hosted by ComicBook.com’s Brandon Davis.

This move may be the first sign Marvel and Disney are no longer pursuing a Season 2 and will cut the series loose after its first batch of episodes.

This also quells any worries about the show being canceled, which was a major concern over the course of 2023 due to reported problems behind the scenes.
