The premiere episode of Marvel's animated Spider-Man show pinballs between being an MCU cover band and doing its own thing.

Man’s placement in the endless web known as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, executive producer Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt said something happens in the new Disney+ show that branches it off from the traditional timeline Tom Holland’s Spider-Man occupies.

Old school Spidey fans will likely appreciate the retro-tinged 3D cel-shading style, which pays homage to the artwork of early Spider-Man comic books by Steve Ditko and John Romita. Daredevil fans will be pleased to hear the character's radar sense is set to be called up on in the show, with Charlie Cox providing his voice.
