SPIDER-MAN: FRESHMAN YEAR Has NOT Been Canceled; Here's The Latest On When It Swings On To Disney+

While rumours that Spider-Man: Freshman Year has been cancelled continue to do the rounds on social media, we now have a positive update on where things stand, including the fact it's aiming for a 2024 debut.

While Marvel Studios delivered another show-stealing Hall H panel at last year's San Diego Comic-Con, there was another, devoted to their upcoming animated projects, that also drew a lot of attention. First looks at everything from X-Men '97 to Marvel Zombies were revealed, while we also got a sneak peek at Spider-Man: Freshman Year.

The hope had been that the series would take place prior to the events of Captain America: Civil War. Instead, it's set in another world where Peter Parker finds a mentor in Norman Osborn. With Oscorp backing him, the web-slinger will don all manner of costumes, while Harry Osborn, Amadeus Cho, and Nico Minuro are set to join him in high school.

These changes aren't necessarily a bad thing, of course, and we're definitely intrigued to see how this take on the web-slinger differs from what we've seen in the MCU and past live-action movies. Throw in the fact Charlie Cox is set to reprise the role of Daredevil, and the sooner we get to watch this thing, the better. 

Last year, there were rumours that Spider-Man: Freshman Year might be cancelled as Marvel Studios looks to once again focus on quality over quantity, but scooper KC Walsh has now assured fans that the plan is still for it to hit Disney+ in 2024.

However, with this good news comes some bad as he adds that we're now unlikely to see the show until late 2024. This hasn't been confirmed by Marvel Studios, and if it's slipped this far down the release calendar, an official update might be a long way off.

As for the already announced second season, it's previously been reported that the studio won't be moving forward with Spider-Man: Sophomore Year until they can gauge interest in this first season. 

Spider-Man: Freshman Year is an animated series that follows Peter Parker on his way to becoming Spider-Man in the MCU, with a journey unlike we've ever seen and a style that celebrates the character’s early comic book roots.

Stay tuned for updates.
