Marvel Studios recently confirmed that Tom Holland will be replaced as Spider-Man in the upcoming series Spider-Man: Freshman Year. This surprising move poses questions, as Holland’s future with the franchise remains uncertain.
According to an official copyright filing with the United States Copyright Office, voice actor Hudson Thames will be taking on the role of Peter Parker and Spider-Man in Spider-Man: Freshman Year. Thames previously voiced the character in the MCU’s What If…? series, making him a familiar voice for fans. The recent copyright filing confirmed speculation Tom Holland wouldn’t be returning to voice Spider-Man in the animated series.
Casting Hudson Thames as the voice of Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Freshman Year brings a sense of consistency to the Marvel character’s animated portrayal. Thames previously voiced Spider-Man in Marvel’s What If…? series, so his return to the role ensures some continuity. Marvel’s decision to bring Thames back demonstrates their commitment to maintaining a cohesive and immersive Spider-Man universe.
The decision to replace Tom Holland in the upcoming Spider-Man project has undoubtedly left fans with mixed feelings. However, Marvel Studios’ choice to cast Hudson Thames as the new voice of Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Freshman Year opens up exciting opportunities for the character’s future. With a talented voice cast and the potential for Tom Holland’s return in live-action projects, the Marvel Spider-Man universe continues to expand and captivate audiences worldwide.
Though Tom Holland won’t be voicing the character, fans can expect Tom Holland to return to the MCU, as filming for Spider-Man 4 will likely begin at some point not too far off from now.
At this current moment in time, Spider-Man: Freshman Year does not have an update – but we’re sure that Disney Plus will provide one in the near future. Until then, be sure to stay tuned to ScreenGeek for all the latest Spider-Man and Marvel updates.
