What Will Be the Plot of Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man
The clip shown at D23 revealed certain aspects of the plot we will witness in Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man. This series is going to twist the origin of Spider-Man making it the first ever on-screen Spider-Man to have a different origin than the rest of his counterparts. According to the clip, Peter Parker is a student at Midtown High, and on his first day, a portal opens, and out of it falls Doctor Strange and a monster followed by a magical spider. The spider bites Peter and gives him his powers rooting Spidey’s powers in magic rather than science.
In this adaptation, Normal Osborn is going to be an ally of Spider-Man who will make him a more advanced suit just as Tony Stark did for their MCU Spider-Man. The rest of the plot will follow Spider-Man on various adventures summing up to a grand story that was not completely revealed at the event so we will have to wait for the trailer to find out more.
