Tom Holland will not be in Spider-Man: Freshman Year
The Illuminerdi confirmed from sources that Tom Holland would not be returning to voice Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Freshman Year.
Holland did not return to voice the character in the What If…? series either, which is thought to be down to scheduling or budgetary conflicts.
Fans are also waiting to hear if Holland will be a part of the rumored Spider-Man 4 project, which should grace either Phase 5 or 6 of the MCU.
Marvel fans have their say about possible voice actors
Despite Tom Holland not lending his voice to the project, fans still had a few ideas on who could voice Peter Parker.
One name that was discussed was Josh Peck, with one fan claiming that this casting would be perfect.
Another name that popped up was Josh Keaton, who actually voiced Captain America in Marvel’s What If…? series – who was a favoured choice over Peter Parker’s voice actor Hudson Thames.
Everything we know about Spider-Man: Freshman Year
Firstly, we know that Freshman Year is going to serve as a prequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming, meaning the narrative does exist within the MCU.
