As revealed at the Comic Book Resource, Sony Pictures Television will be releasing a brand new Spider-Man animated series direct-to-video in order to tie-in with the upcoming Spider-Man 3 live action film.

No word on whether this will be a continuation of the Mainframe Studios-animated “Mtv’s Spider-Man”, which was released a few years back to tie-in with the release of the first Spider-Man live action film. The series ended on a cliffhanger, leaving many fans wanting more. Chances are slim, though, that this new series will follow that continuity considering how poorly received the show was.
