Disney XD's Emmy Award-nominated animated series
Marvel's Spider-Man has been ordered for a third season. Slated to premiere in Spring 2020, the third season is titled
Marvel's Spider-Man: Maximum Venom, suggesting the symbiote will play a major factor in the new season.
A brief description reads teases:
"Spider-Man is pushed to his breaking point when Venom summons an earth-shattering threat from its home planet."
"This is the most epic conflict in the history of Marvel Animation," added Cort Lane, senior vice president of Marvel Animation & Family Entertainment.
"We planted the seeds in two seasons of 'Marvel's Spider-Man' and three seasons of 'Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy,' but you don't need to have watched them to be blown away by this colossal confrontation. While a ton of guest heroes will be on hand, Peter Parker's special link to Venom makes him the only hero who can tip the scales to save humanity."
While the Venom symbiote has popped up in the series on occasion, much of Marvel's Spider-Man has featured a large assortment of the web-slingers rogues gallery. Season two has focused primarily on Spidey's confrontation with Doctor Octopus.
Despite being ordered for a third season, Marvel's Spider-Man hasn't quite wrapped up its sophomore season. New episodes for season two will debut this September on Disney XD and DisneyNOW beginning with a five-part
"Superior Spider-Man" story arc.
"In the new storyline, Doctor Octopus, who has taken over Spider-Man's body, intends to use his new spider powers to further his evil agenda," the description reads.
