Let’s be honest; the Star Wars side of Disney+ Day has been pretty lame. But the Marvel shit has been off the hook. And it continues with more announcements of animated shows that could be very cool.
Spider-Man: Freshman Year appears to be an animated series set during Peter Parker’s first year of high school as he’s coping with his newly-gained powers. Excuse me for wishing this was actually about his first year as a freshman in college, but I always like this stuff to be more mature. Anyway, it’s unclear if this will be centered on the Tom Holland version we’ve been following, or some alternate universe Spidey.
The synopsis says the series “follows Peter Parker on his way to becoming Spider-Man in the MCU, with a journey unlike we’ve ever seen and a style that celebrates the character’s early comic book roots. Executive producer Jeff Trammel serves as head writer.”

Fans have been demanding it, and now it’s gonna happen. Marvel Zombies is coming to Disney+ as an animated series, as well. Whether this is a spinoff of What If…? we don’t know yet, but the synopsis suggests it will be an expansion of that episode featuring undead versions of our favorite heroes and villains.
Marvel Zombies: an animated series from Marvel Studios that reimagines the Marvel Universe as a new generation of heroes battle against an ever-spreading zombie scourge. Directed by executive producer Bryan Andrews.
