Much of the Marvel Animation panel at San Diego Comic-Con this year was dedicated to celebrating the animation studio's 50 years of existence, and it served as a tribute to the late Stan Lee. But towards the end, the audience were reminded that new episodes of
Marvel's Spider-Man, Disney XD's animated series, will premiere this September.
Season 3 of the animated series was announced in May and will be titled
Marvel's Spider-Man: Maximum Venom. It's slated to premiere in spring 2020.
However, to hold fans over, Disney XD will air a five-episode mini-series that explores the
Superior Spider-Man story arc. Premiering in September, Marvel released a sneak peek at the first episode, "
My Own Worst Enemy."
Now in Peter Parker/Spider-Man’s body, Doc Ock intends to use his new spider-powers to get revenge on anyone who ever wronged him. But he’s shocked to discover that some of Peter Parker’s memories are left over in his new brain, including memories of Uncle Ben’s life lessons. Now understanding the reasons Peter Parker became a hero, Doc Ock vows to continue Spider-Man’s mission, but to become even better… To become the Superior Spider-Man!
The Superior Spider-Man comic book series — written by Dan Slott — ran from January 2013 through August 2014 for 33 issues.
As for Season 3 of the animated series, it will see Parker pushed to his breaking point
"when Venom summons an earth-shattering threat from its home planet."
Look out for
Marvel's Spider-Man to return to Disney XD this fall with the Season 2
Superior Spider-Man arc - followed by the premiere of Season 3,
Maximum Venom, in spring 2020.
