Having seen the presentation, the publication reports that Freshman Year will feature a “young, comic book-inspired” new iteration of Peter Parker, while Charlie Cox will be reprising his role as Daredevil to voice the Man Without Fear.
Nico Minoru, a character from the comics in the Runaways team will also feature, as well as Amadeus Cho who becomes Hulk, a Wakandan student and Harry Osborn.
The publication also reports that no MJ, Gwen or Ned – all key characters from the more recent films – will be present.
However, Unicorn, Chameleon, Scorpion, Speed Demon, Tarantula, Rhino, Butane, Doc Ock and Doctor Strange will all be present, played differently to the films released so far.

Five Spider-Man films joined Disney+ recently – Marvel fans can now watch Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, The Amazing Spider-Man, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Homecoming on the streaming platform.
Elsewhere, it was recently announced that a new version of No Way Home will be re-released in cinemas with “added and extended scenes”. It will be out on September 2 in the US and Canada.
