Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man has finally debuted on Disney Plus, offering Marvel fans a fresh look at their favorite wallcrawler. However, many are wondering about the brand-new series’ timeline placement.

The animated series introduces a branched timeline, reimagining Peter Parker’s origin while weaving in key MCU references.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is the latest Marvel series to arrive on Disney+, but is the animated show set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man will be released on Disney+ later this month and the cast features a number of recognisable names from the world of Marvel

Head writer Jeff Trammell and supervising director Mel Zwyer pay homage to the early comics with a "moving comic" style in CG while introducing a surprising supporting cast.

Freshman Year in 2021, there have been questions about exactly how (what is now) Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man fits into MCU canon. And then late last year, it became apparent that the show had essentially abandoned canon altogether.

The Mirror US reports there are several deviations from the main MCU timeline, the most significant being Norman Osborn (Colman Domingo) acting as a mentor to Peter Park (Hudson Thames) instead of Tony Stark. The series has seen a few changes since its announcement in 2021 and forms part of Phase Five of the MCU.
