New information is finally coming out regarding Marvel's next Spider-Man project, the animated series Spider-Man: Freshman Year, specifically about its cast of actors and their characters.
Freshman Year has been billed as an exploration of the character's origins, which were largely skipped over in the MCU after being well-established in previous live-action adaptations. Of note is the show's art style, which will be highly reminiscent of classic Spider-Man comics and cartoons.
Speculation has been rife in the years since the show's announcement, but now fans have a chance to put names (and voices) to faces with a new reveal.

Organisers for the Revelation Perth International Film Festival have been forced to alter the event in light of the Western Australian government’s 4-day lockdown order, cancelling the opening night and the following day of programming.
Premier Mark McGowan announced the circuit-breaker lockdown yesterday evening after the state’s outbreak grew to three cases, with temporary restrictions in place from today until 12.01am on Saturday, July 3.
As a result, Revelation’s planned opening night on Thursday, an event screening of Cooper Raiff’s SXSW winner Freshman Year, has been scrapped, along with all screenings for the next day. Patrons who hold tickets will be refunded.
Revelation director Richard Sowada said he was looking forward with optimism to lockdown lifting on and the festival continuing until July 11 as planned.
“The program picks up as soon as lockdown lifts – we come out of lockdown ready to rock on Saturday 3 July (for the moment),” he said.

Vertigo Releasing has debuted a new trailer for the Romantic Comedy which won the Grand Jury Prize at this year’s SXSW Film Festival. ‘Freshman Year.’
Lonely college freshman Alex has closed himself off from his peers, who all appear to have this whole “college thing” figured out. But everything changes one night when Alex takes a leap and attends a party at Shithouse – a legendary party fraternity – where he forges a strong connection with Maggie. The next day, she ignores him completely and seems to have forgotten about their amazing night. Desperately clinging to his social breakthrough, Alex pulls out all the stops with one more party, hoping to rekindle that moment of connection.
Directed by Cooper Raiff, the film stars Dylan Gelula, Cooper Raiff, Amy Landecker, Logan Miller and Olivia Welch.

The global perspective of Australian filmmakers will be on show at next month’s Revelation Perth International Film Festival, which carries the theme of ‘Distant but Connected’.
Highlights include the world premiere of Antonio Traverso’s documentary The Best Battle, in which the Curtin University lecturer explores the political street art of Chile’s capital during the 2019/2020 estallido social (social blast) that marked the remembrance of 1973.
The documentary program will also feature the Australian premiere of Garth De Bruno Austin’s The Last Horns of Africa, an Australian/South African co-production that follows the efforts to protect rhinos in South Africa’s Kruger Park.
Kiwi director Gaysorn Thavat’s The Justice of Bunny King, starring Essie Davis, will have its Australian premiere at the festival. Shot in Auckland, Davis stars opposite Thomasin McKenzie, playing a mother-of-two with a sketchy past and the world against her.

Those of you who can recall your student days will remember that many of the guys and girls fell into one of two distinct categories: those that took to uni life like a duck to water, and those that struggled with new people, being away from home for the first time, etc. For the latter bunch, it can be a time of real self-discovery.
Which is where Freshman Year really hits the mark. Sadly, it doesn’t quite make the cut in other departments.
Our main man Alex (Cooper Raiff), is struggling. Terribly homesick, he’s been paired with a layabout roommate Sam (Logan Miller), and the two of them are outcasts when it comes to the social scene. But when he meets Maggie (Dylan Gelula), it looks like he’s found someone to ease the angst. Sounds like the synopsis of your typical teen movie, but this is rather too deep for all that.

Fifteen years ago, Frances Quinlan was a first-year art student in Maryland who listened to a lot of strange, singular folk songwriters like Joanna Newsom, Jeff Mangum, and Kimya Dawson. Unlike most people her age with the same artists on the playlists in their heads, she was also writing memorable songs of her own. In time she moved to Philadelphia and formed a blazingly intense indie rock band, Hop Along, which worked its way up to national acclaim and a devoted live audience with 2015’s Painted Shut and 2018’s Bark Your Head Off,...
