What they’re saying:
- Marc Buhaj, senior vice president, Programming and general manager, Disney XD: “We are excited to have Spider-Man and Venom leading this brand-new chapter. These two characters are fan favorites and the Marvel Animation team has delivered a smart, action-packed season for a new generation. We’re grateful for the opportunity to further expand the world of ‘Marvel’s Spider-Man’ with Venom and continue fresh, heroic storytelling with this third season order.”
- Cort Lane, senior vice president, Marvel Animation & Family Entertainment: “This is the most epic conflict in the history of Marvel Animation,” said. “We planted the seeds in two seasons of ‘Marvel’s Spider-Man’ and three seasons of ‘Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy,’ but you don’t need to have watched them to be blown away by this colossal confrontation. While a ton of guest heroes will be on hand, Peter Parker’s special link to Venom makes him the only hero who can tip the scales to save humanity.”
