Disney XD has released the official synopsis for "Vengeance of Venom," the upcoming third episode of Marvel's Spider-Man: Maximum Venom. And it heralds the arrival of none other than Marc Spector, aka Moon Knight.
Set to air on June 21, "Vengeance of Venom" sees Spider-Man attempting to convince Spector -- who has recently hung up the Moon Knight mantle and retired from crime-fighting -- to help him protect New York City in the midst of a symbiote attack. Spector is voiced by actor Peter Giles, who is known for portraying "The Boss," Percy Davis on the HBO animated series The Life & Times of Tim. He has also appeared in such series as Into the Dark, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Kroll Show. In addition to the debut of Moon Knight, the episode features the return of Aubrey Joseph and Olivia Holt as Cloak and Dagger, respectively, reprising their roles from both Marvel's Spider-Man Season 2 and the live-action Freeform series Cloak & Dagger.
