Marvel Comics is set to revitalize the Ultimate Universe with a new take on Spider-Man in “Ultimate Spider-Man,” a new series from acclaimed writer Jonathan Hickman and Daredevil illustrator Marco Checchetto. A sweet trailer for the series has been released.
Ultimate Spider-Man trailer
Known for its compelling and sometimes divergent storylines, the Ultimate Universe grew out of the success of Brian Michael Bendis’ “Ultimate Spider-Man” series.
The new series promises a unique take on the iconic character of Peter Parker. Unlike the traditional narrative, this version of Peter is depicted as a grown man who has just gained his spider powers as a result of a classic spider bite. Unlike the usual high school struggle stories, this Peter Parker is trying to navigate the challenges of heroism while balancing his marriage to Mary Jane Watson and fathering a son and daughter, whose names we don’t know at this point.
The trailer for Ultimate Spider-Man introduces viewers to a world that has undergone significant changes. Some key changes include the deaths of key characters such as Aunt May and Norman Osborn, the latter paving the way for Harry Osborn or his Ultimate equivalent to take on the role of the Green Goblin. The story hints at a wider event that claimed many lives, adding an element of mystery and intrigue to the narrative.
Despite the changes in character dynamics, the trailer features familiar faces from the Spider-Man universe, including Mary Jane, Kingpin and J. Jonah Jameson. Visual cues in the trailer hint at a costume evolution for Peter Parker, with glimpses of iconic outfits like the Black, 2099 and Sensational Spider-Man suits. This suggests that readers can expect a dynamic and eventful journey for the character in the early installments of the series.
Ultimate Spider-Man is set to release on January 12, 2024 and builds on the legacy of the Ultimate Universe, bringing a new perspective on the beloved character. With Hickman’s storytelling prowess and Checchetto’s artistic flair, fans can expect a narrative that pushes boundaries and explores new dimensions of Peter Parker’s life as Spider-Man in a re-imagined and exciting story.
