The first clip shows a teenaged Peter Parker in his prototype suit, trying to handle his powers. Besides that, he is seen fighting one of his arch-enemies -- Scorpion. The animated series adds a bit of comedic punch along with the Spidey's action games.
During the announcement of the series at last year's New York Comic-Con, Marvel Animation's SVP Cort Lane had said: "The simple title reflects a back-to-basics approach – the story of an ordinary teen, Peter Parker, who suddenly finds himself with strange new powers and overwhelming responsibility. And thanks to Story Editor Kevin Shinick (Robot Chicken, Mad) and Supervising Director Philip Pignotti (Marvel's Avengers Assemble) it's just filled with heart and humour."
The animated Spider-Man series' award-winning creative team includes executive producers Alan Fine (Marvel's The Avengers, Iron Man, Thor), Dan Buckley (Marvel's Avengers Assemble, Marvel's Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H.), Joe Quesada (Marvel's Avengers Assemble) and Jeph Loeb (Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.); co-executive producers Stan Lee (Spider-Man), Eric Radomski (Spawn, Marvel's Avengers Assemble), Cort Lane (Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man) and Stephen Wacker (Marvel's Avengers Assemble); supervising producers Kevin Shinick (Marvel's Avengers Assemble, Robot Chicken) and Marsha Griffin (Transformers Prime, The Life and Times of Juniper Lee); consulting producers Dan Slott (Spider-Man: Big Time, The Superior Spider-Man), Kevin Burke and Chris "Doc" Wyatt (Marvel's Avengers Assemble, Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man); and supervising director Philip Pignotti (Marvel's Avengers Assemble, Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man).
Marvel Animation is yet to reveal any plot details, cast or the release date. But fans can expect the series to debut just after the release of Spider-Man: Homecoming movie starring Tom Holland and Robert Downey Jr.
