The voice cast boasts an impressive lineup, featuring Hudson Thames reprises his role as Peter Parker/Spider-Man from What If...? He is joined by Colman Domingo (known for his role in Euphoria) as Norman Osborn, Eugene Byrd (from Bones) as Lonnie Lincoln, and Grace Song (Kidding) as Nico Minoru. The series also stars Zeno Robinson (Transformers: Earthspark) as Harry Osborn, Hugh Dancy (Law & Order) as Otto Octavius, and the iconic Charlie Cox, returning as Daredevil.

The excitement doesn’t stop there! The series has already been renewed for a second season, signaling Disney+'s confidence in this new venture.
