Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man has finally debuted on Disney Plus, offering Marvel fans a fresh look at their favorite wallcrawler. However, many are wondering about the brand-new series’ timeline placement.

So, does Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man take place in the MCU and what is its timeline placement? Here are your questions answered. Is Marvel's new Spider-Man series set in

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is the latest Marvel series to arrive on Disney+, but is the animated show set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

But the most similar origin story to the one shown in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is actually that of Miles Morales in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, where he’s bitten by a spider from a different dimension.

The Mirror US reports there are several deviations from the main MCU timeline, the most significant being Norman Osborn (Colman Domingo) acting as a mentor to Peter Park (Hudson Thames) instead of Tony Stark. The series has seen a few changes since its announcement in 2021 and forms part of Phase Five of the MCU.

A brief plot synopsis from Disney+ reads: "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is an animated series that follows Peter Parker on his way to becoming a hero, with a journey unlike we've ever seen and a style that celebrates the character’s early comic book roots."

Head writer Jeff Trammell and supervising director Mel Zwyer pay homage to the early comics with a "moving comic" style in CG while introducing a surprising supporting cast.
