Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends\u00a0follows the adventures of Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy and Miles Morales as they team up with other superheroes\u00a0to defeat their foes and learn that teamwork is the best way to save the day.<\/p>\n

One of the top streaming series for kids and boys between the ages of 2 and 5, the show’s\u00a0popularity extends off-screen as well, ranking in the top five-selling overall preschool toy licenses globally.<\/p>\n

Season 5 is on the way, with\u00a0Season 6 also confirmed by Disney Jr. and Disney+. Now, it’s been revealed that the Venom Symbiote is coming to\u00a0Spidey and His Amazing Friends, albeit in an unexpected form.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Wrap<\/a> has confirmed plans for Symbie in the animated series. The\u00a0character first appeared in 2024’s\u00a0Timeslide #1 before making his full debut in\u00a0Amazing Spider-Man #11 last September.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One\u00a0of the many alien creatures found by Professor\u00a0Xanto Starblood and experimented upon, Symbie was freed by Peter Parker, causing the adorable Symbiote creature to bond with\u00a0him. However, unlike other Symbiotes, Symbie seemingly doesn’t require a host.<\/p>\n

Spidey and His Amazing Friends executive producer Harrison Wilcox says the show’s Symbie\u2014who will appear in an undisclosed upcoming episode\u2014is\u00a0“just a little scamp, a shapeshifter [who] just likes to run around and cause trouble.”<\/p>\n

Shows like this one have proven to be a particularly effective way to introduce younger fans to the Marvel Universe, and\u00a0Symbie’s animated debut this soon after first showing up on the page\u00a0is surprising.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The trade also notes, “And while no one would mistake ‘Spidey and His Amazing Friends’ for being part of the overarching Marvel Cinematic Universe, there is a ‘master plan’\u00a0that comes down from leadership and there\u2019s frequent communication with the ‘Spidey’\u00a0team to make sure that nothing the Disney show is planning will conflict with what the larger MCU is doing, Wilcox said.”<\/p>\n

Spidey and his Amazing Friends\u00a0is produced by Disney Jr. and Marvel Studios in association with Atomic Cartoons. Harrison Wilcox, Bart Jennett and Chris Moreno are executive producers, alongside Becca Topol, who serves as producer\/story editor, and Steve Grover as supervising producer.<\/p>\n

The series regular voice cast includes Alkaio Thiele as Peter Parker, Audrey Bennett as Gwen Stacy, and Carter Young as Miles Morales. Guest cast includes John Stamos as Tony Stark, Bindi Irwin as Isla Coralton, and Kylie Cantrall as White Tiger.<\/p>\n
