Unfortunately, the studio didn’t offer any plot details regarding this project, although during an interview from August,Chris Miller, who is writing and producing withPhil Lord, promised they’re taking a fresh approach to the character.
“I will say, it is not just anotherPeter Parkerorigin story that you’ve seen 400 times. It is something totally unique and different and not like anything you’ve seen. That’s all I can say… and you’re going to love it!”
