5 Actors You Didn't Know Voiced Marvel Characters

5. Neil Patrick Harris - Spider-Man: The New Animated Series (2003)

OK how many of you even knew this show existed? MTV’s short lived sequel series to Toby Maguire’s first outing as the webslinger sort of flew under the radar when it came out in 2003. Which is a shame as it’s actually really good!

With great writing, a cool synthwave soundtrack and some impressive CGI for its time it’s definitely worth seeking out if you’re a fan of the wall crawler. However what really makes it is the fantastic cast, headed up by none other than Neil Patrick Harris as your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.

Harris was probably best known, at the time, as Dougie Howser, M.D. and was just two years away from perhaps his biggest role as Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother. Harris would later go on to reprise his role as the webhead in the video game Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions.

The show was replete with great guest stars too, including Michael Clarke Duncan reprising his role as Kingpin from Daredevil, Star Trek veterans Michael Dorn and Jeffrey Combs, and heavy metal legend Rob Zombie.
