Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum says the upcoming Marvel show Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man has stopped aiming to be MCU canon due to the fact that it would put limitations on the Disney Plus show.
"It started out as 'Okay it's Spider-Man’s freshman year, he’s going to be a freshman, can we get away with this being entirely in the MCU?' and very early on in the development process, we realized how locked in that actually made us,” said Winderbaum in an interview with Phase Hero. “We couldn't really use his rogues gallery, we couldn't really use his origin. It was not fun, honestly. We would've had to put so many limiters on our story to get it to lock into canon."
