Keith David narrates the spider nature documentary watched by Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
The documentary is a small but distinctive detail in the film. Peter watches it while living alone and operating as Spider-Man, connecting the ordinary subject of spider biology with the character’s unusual powers and changing body.
Keith David is an acclaimed actor and voice performer known for his deep, recognizable narration style. His appearance in the film is a voice credit rather than a conventional on-screen acting role as a Marvel character.
This role is separate from Naomi Watts, who voices E.V., Peter’s artificial-intelligence assistant. The two voice performances can be confused because both performers contribute audio-only character work to the film.
