Marvel fans watched the trailer for Spider-Man: No Way HomeOpens in a new tab on a loop since its release. You could say everyone is waiting with bated breath for Peter Parker to face off against a series of Multiversal villainsOpens in a new tab. And possibly meet some variants of himself. (Allegedly. But, probably). The trailer showed us the fallout of Peter’s secret identity revealed to the world, and his enlisting of Dr. StrangeOpens in a new tab to magically undo it all. Clearly, much wackiness ensues.
Now, via Geeks Are SexyOpens in a new tab, we’ve discovered that someone has recreated the trailer faithfully, using footage from the beloved ’90s Spider-Man: The Animated Series,Opens in a new tab with a wee bit of The Spectacular Spider-ManOpens in a new tab toon from 2008 too. The video comes from YouTube channel 100Bombs StudiosOpens in a new tab. You can watch this delightful throwback to the days when Peter wore lots of pastel polo shirts, and swung through primitively rendered CGI buildings, right here:
We must say, 100BombsStudios did a great job with this one. (They made one for the previous trailerOpens in a new tab earlier this year too). For those curious, the footage primarily comes from the first episode of the show’s third season. Appropriately enough, the title of the episode was simply called “Doctor Strange.” That 1996 episode found Peter and the Sorcerer SupremeOpens in a new tab fighting Baron Mordo, and an impending invasion from the Dark Dimension of Dormammu. At least part of that plot should sound familiar to anyone who saw the Doctor Strange movie.

Although there have been many cartoon versionsOpens in a new tab over the years dedicated to Spidey and his exploits, the ’90s series was one of the best. It featured many of his most famous storylines from the comics for the first time. Not to mention most of his most iconic villains. Sure, it didn’t have as groovy a theme songOpens in a new tab as the ’60s cartoon. Or have Spider-Man living in a high-tech apartment with his Amazing FriendsOpens in a new tab. But it remains a fan favorite series to this day. Maybe we’ll see this animated Spider-world one day in an Into the Spider-VerseOpens in a new tab sequel. Anything is possible in the multiverse, after all.
