The Voice Actor for Spider-Man in Marvel’s What If? Series Shares His Thoughts Hudson Thames, the voice actor for Spider-Man in Marvel’s What If? series and the upcoming Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man shared his initial concerns about the show. Thames expressed his relief in an interview with Collider, stating: “I thought it was awesome. I mean, my biggest fear was that it was gonna be annoying and woke, and it wasn’t, and I was like, ‘Yes, this is great, it’s so well written,’ like it feels real. I’m the oldest of five boys, so I feel like I kind of know what’s happening in their lives and in high school, and it felt like it was doing that justice.” Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man has faced criticism for its portrayal of characters like Harry and Norman Osborn as black individuals. There has also been backlash regarding the inclusion of Nico Minoru, who some mistakenly believe to be a "woke" version of Mary Jane. The term "woke" has generated varying interpretations, encompassing issues like corporate censorship, tokenism, and even bigotry, leading to divisions in cultural perceptions.
