Spider-Man: Freshman Year showrunner Jeff Trammell gives a promising and hopeful update on the upcoming Disney+ series. The introduction of the multiverse has opened the doors to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and allowed for more daring and creative projects. Among these is a new animated Spider-Man series that aims to expand on the character's high school years which were only lightly touched upon in the live-action films. Craig of the Creek's Trammell was chosen to lead the webhead's new outing, but recently, rumors began to crop up about there being behind-the-scenes turmoil and whether a follow-up, tentatively titled Spider-Man: Sophomore Year, will actually enter production.

Trammell took to Twitter to give an uplifting explanation as to how he managed to achieve working on the new Spider-Man series. He revealed that even if he had not gotten past the pitch, he would still "look at it as a win." He also gave praise to the animation and writing team that he got to work with and that he could not "wait for you all to see." His words give the positive impression that the series is still on its way and that it will give fans something exciting to watch in 2024. Check out Trammell's full tweets below:

What To Expect From Spider-Man: Freshman Year

Spider-Man: Freshman Year is set before the events of Captain America: Civil War, but in an alternate timeline where Peter Parker is approached by Norman Osborn, rather than Tony Stark. This creates a rather unique story where Spider-Man is faced with many new dangers, but also new allies that have yet to make an appearance in the wider MCU. Trammell has had a long history working in animation with hit shows such as Amphibia, The Owl House, and Glitch Techs, but is primarily known for his work on Craig of the Creek. This series will be the first time he has led a production.

Much of the news surrounding the story and character details have already gotten longtime Marvel fans hooked. While the live-action movies were intended to focus on Spider-Man's high school years, the ever-changing film franchise stunted much of the planned teenage growth that was to define him. Spider-Man: Freshman Year will allow audiences to go back and see the stories that can only be achieved through the power of animation. With characters such as Osborn, Doc Ock, Amadeus Cho, and Nico Minoru set to appear, this could also lead to more potential spin-offs in the MCU franchise.

Trammell's work experience and statements portray a hopeful future for Spider-Man: Freshman Year. Now that it is joining the ranks of other animated projects such as Marvel Zombies and Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, it will also allow Marvel to further diversify their slate of entertainment. Spider-Man is arguably still the biggest name in all of Marvel and so far, Trammell's quotes have left a good feeling that there will be more of him to come on Disney+.
