While it was initially believed that Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man would be a prequel to Captain America: Civil War and Spider-Man: Homecoming details about the series that were revealed at 2022's San Diego Comic-Con revealed that the series takes place in a different universe.

  • The series will feature Daredevil, whom Peter Parker did not meet until the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
  • Doctor Octopus will appear in the series. In Spider-Man: No Way Home, when Peter meets Doctor Octopus, his dialogue suggests that there is no Doctor Octopus variant in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Peter even laughs at how dumb the name "Doc Ock" sounds as if he had never heard the name before.
  • Scorpion and Chameleon will both appear in the series. While Mac Gargan and Dimitri Smerdyakov have both appeared in the MCU's Spider-Man trilogy, neither of them had taken on their supervillain personas at the time Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man premiered.
  • The series will also feature Norman Osborn and Harry Osborn. Spider-Man: No Way Home establishes that no Norman and Harry variants exist in the main MCU timeline. Norman will also be Spider-Man's mentor instead of Tony Stark.
  • Doctor Strange will also appear in the series. In the main MCU timeline, Spider-Man did not meet Doctor Strange until the events of Avengers: Infinity War.
  • Nico Minoru will be one of Peter Parker's classmates. However, in Runaways, she attended Atlas Academy in Los Angeles.
