Actor Hudson Thames reveals the surprising way he got cast as Spider-Man for the upcoming Disney+ animated series 'Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man'. Thames, who previously voiced Spider-Man in 'What If...?', recounts the mysterious phone call and on-the-spot audition that led to him landing the lead role.
As Spider-Man is about to make his latest appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the actor who is bringing the latest take on Peter Parker to life opens up on the journey of getting cast. While the web-crawler hasn't been seen in the MCU timeline since 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home, Marvel Studios is finally bringing a new project focusing on Peter - but with a catch.
Hudson Thames: I got a phone call - a very suspicious phone call - saying to show up at Disney Studios at a certain time. I was not told what it was for, why I was going - I had a feeling it was Spider-Man related, because I was kind of having some of those conversations. And yeah - I basically was told to come on down, I met up with the guys, and they kind of laid it on me and kind of asked me on the spot if I wanted to do it, and showed me the footage - and we just knocked it out.
Hudson Thames: No, actually. I kind of thought that What If…? - all of the What If…? material - existed in a vacuum, just because the comic kind of did. And so I thought there might be maybe another What If…? episode, but when Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man came down the line, that was such a shock, and I was so stoked.
As Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man will explore Peter's life without Tony Stark while having Norman Osborn as his mentor, the Phase 5 animated adventure will be able to tackle things that Holland's movies never did. With the many Marvel characters that are also set to show up, it will be exciting to see how Thames' Spider-Man mythology gets handled. As it stands, Thames' transition from What If...
