Ultimate Spider-Man (2024) Issue #1 Comic Dub

Project Overview

CURRENT DEADLINE: JULY 18TH, 2024

What is this?

Hello everyone! This is going to be an unofficial, UNPAID comic dub of the first issue of Ultimate Spider-Man! I'll be editing all of the panels to be presented in video format, complete with sound effects and whatever background music I can get my hands on. Depending on how the project goes, those working along with me on the project can help decide where else this can go. This is not a guarantee there will be more after this project.

For those unfamiliar, Ultimate Spider-Man (2024) is a reboot of the "Ultimate Spider-Man" comics from 2000 to 2011. It's partly a continuation as one of the main villains of the Ultimate Universe, The Maker (Reed Richards), has rewritten the history of this Earth, in an attempt to prevent the creation of heroes that originally came about in this era, who could pose a threat to his universal rule.

As a result of the Maker's influence, Peter Parker was never bitten by a radioactive spider, and thus, never became Spider-Man. He would never inspire those around him to be better. And so, decades pass, as life moves on, and so does Peter. That is, until, one fateful evening...

I have been KICKING this idea around in the back of my mind since I first read Issue #1, and I'm hoping there's at least a few people out there who have been as well.

That said, for requirements:
  • I don't have a strict requirement on XLR/USB mics, though it is preferable if you do have at least a decent USB microphone.

  • If you do use a phone, ideally have as minimal noise as you can manage and leave about 3-5 seconds of just your room noise to see if I can work with your samples.

  • DISCORD is technically optional for this project, but highly preferred. The project will be organized on there and Google Drive. If you don't have one for any reason, then we can arrange for other forms of communication (preferably email.) If you do have one, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEE leave it in the description, or even comment.

  • There is no strict age requirement, since this comic doesn’t deal with any content that’d be considered 18+.

  • If you need to do more than one take, please follow ABCABC format!

Payment

As stated earlier, this is an UNPAID project. More accurately, I don't have the money to pay anyone yet.

As much as I would love to, my circumstances won't allow for it at the moment. If at any point, this does become a series, payment may be rendered for work on those projects, circumstances allowing.

For any questions, message me on discord: ultraassassin64, or contact me via the email in my profile.

Latest Updates

  • Casting is complete!

    Good evening, everyone!

    It's 2:37 AM, and every named role has been cast! I'll be inviting everyone who was cast to the project server later in the morning when I get the chance!

    To everyone who was cast, I look forward to talking and working with you guys very soon!

    And to everyone else, I really wish this project was big enough to accommodate everyone who auditioned. But I had to choose who I felt best suited the role, no matter how close it all was. But this probably won't be the last time I make a project, and in that regard, I hope to see all of you then too!

    Sincerely,
    Michael Aquino

  • The end of the call!

    Welp! Tonight's the night, everyone!

    The call has officially ended! Decisions will be made shortly, but I am contemplating getting some people for callbacks on a specific role at the moment. Though those will be done shortly, casting should be done within the next few days, if not by the end of the day.

    Thanks again to everyone who auditioned! I have been absolutely amazed by every one of you and I hope to work with you all on other projects!

  • One week left!

    Hello everyone!

    Just wanted to let everyone know that there's only a WEEK left, until the Casting Call ends! The final submission deadline will be July 18th, 11:59:59 PM EDT! (Please note that CCC's timestamps are a bit too far ahead and it's best to look up when that would be for your time, but according to CCC, it would be "July 19th, 4:00AM" effectively.)

    I've been absolutely floored by the fact that there's been 100 submissions to this project, and there are a bunch of amazing submissions! Y'all have such amazing voices and I'm so grateful for each and every one of you guys that have auditioned. No matter how this call ends, just know it's nothing personal, and if you aren't chosen, I still hope to be able to work with you all one day!

    Over the coming week, I may also reach out to some of you all to give some feedback so I can get a clearer image of how you'd fit into the role. But if you don't hear from me, don't think that it's the end!


    Thank you all for being here! I look forward to hearing more of everyone here, as well as anyone else who'd be willing to give the project a chance!

Mary Jane Watson

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Zemy

Mary Jane Watson is the head of her own PR firm, who is can get very hands-on when she needs to be. She also happens to be Peter's wife. With her sense of humor and wit,  the two have been happily married with kids for years now. She's quite confident, and tends to be very aware of what those around her are thinking, especially Peter. She's not really quite the party girl like her Amazing counterpart used to be, but she still has the attitude to match. She also used to be a model prior to her career as the owner of a PR firm, which helps when dealing with more unsavory clients.


For this role, if you can pull off some dry humor without being too snarky in tone, that'd be near perfect.

  • [Trying to lighten up the mood a little] Well... except for the bit at the end, I thought that went as well as possible.

  • [encouraging] Oh. That. I know you, Peter Parker. You're an amazing husband and just lights-out as a father. But you've been walking around with this cloud hanging over you. You put a good face on it, but you're not satisfied with who you are.

May Parker

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Rae

May Parker is the daughter of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson. She's the younger of the two siblings, and she has the energy to show for it. Unlike her brother Richard, she's loud, bubbly, but not obnoxious. She's still just a kid and can be a lil naive on some things, but she has her mother's wit and her killer fashion sense too. She doesn't have too much to do in this issue, but her role will be much larger if future issues are ever dubbed. 


As a result of this, I may even just use your lines from the audition for this project. The lines below will be from her Issue 1 (which is hilariously, "Dad!" and "Bacon!"), and her appearances in subsequent chapters to adequately determine the range of her character.

In terms of age range, I'd say if you can get anywhere from 7 to 10 years old, that'd be great, though, maybe don't stress on it too much if you can't quite fit that range.

  • [Helping her dad "pick an outfit"] Maybe some color? And seriously... less *scary*, Dad. [*outfit change*, warming up to the change] Less scary... more cool...

Richard Parker

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Zachary Allen-Thierry

Richard Parker is the son of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson. He's a teenage boy who happens to be quite reserved (for his age, anyways), and is always observing his surroundings, much like his mother. He also has a strong affinity for reading, much like his father, but can also be quite the skeptic. He's a lil blunt, but not to the point that he'll hurt others feelings, and gets his dry humor from both of his parents. 


Richard, like May, also has very few lines, but they are more evenly dispersed throughout the issues so depending on your audition, I may use your audition for this project. I'd also say anyone who can do a male pre-teen to early teen voice would be preferably for this role.

  • [Suspicious, like you can tell something is up, and a little snarky] Uh-huh. I read about this in a book once. See how they're avoiding eye contact, Mom? Very sketchy.

  • [Concerned, slightly shocked] Okay, but... hold on... You broke into someone's house and tried to beat him up?

J. Jonah Jameson

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Merlin Obadiah Cambridge

J. Jonah Jameson is the Editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle. He has a headstrong personality, and is also quite loud to match it. However, unlike his Amazing counterpart (though maybe not as accurate anymore), doesn't have as much of the deep seated loathing for Spider-Man since he never existed, and himself. As a result, he seems to be much more light-hearted, and is even best friends with Ben Parker. He is like Peter's second uncle, even at the Bugle, and helps him out when he needs it.


J. Jonah Jameson is a main character, will probably have some of the loudest lines, and a decent chunk of dialogue in almost every issue. Please keep in mind that if you take this role, you have to take care of your throat as well. That said, for voice profile, if you can voice-match J.K. Simmons, you're a shoe-in for the role. However, especially for an unpaid project, I do not expect that. Just do your best scruffy, grumpy old man voice!

  • [yelling with increasing levels of intensity] PARKER! PARKER! Oh, hey there, Peter. No time for chitchat. PARKER!

  • [Amused] Kids these days. Always being cute, always being clever.

  • [Laugh loud enough like you're trying to startle an entire bar of people.] [Calming down from laughing] The *truth*. That's perfect. Thanks for that.

Ben Parker

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Jon Buder

Ben Parker is the uncle of Peter Parker. Much like his Amazing counterpart, he and his wife, May, took Peter in at a young age when his parents had died and is more like a father to Peter. Unlike his Amazing counterpart, he did not die at the hands of a carjacker, and instead lives a life as the managing editor of the Daily Bugle. Ben is a steadfast individual, who much like his close friend, J. Jonah Jameson, will choose to fight for what he believes in, no matter what is up against him.

For Ben's voice, I admittedly don't have a strong image of what he should be in mind. All I can say is, do your best to sound "wise". Be confident in your words.

  • [A little annoyed but not pissed] My ears work fine, Jonah. There's no need to yell.

  • [Elaborating, a little pensive/reflective on life] Peter, you were fifteen when your parents died and you came to live with May and I. That first year was hard for you. Heck, it was hard for all of us.

  • [Encouraging] You ever heard the saying "inaction is action"? Well, that's just a garbage way of saying don't spend your life waiting for something to happen. Make it happen.

Harry Osborn

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Zachary Allen-Thierry

Harry Osborn is the co-CEO of Oscorp Industries. Having recently lost his father in an attack initiated by another heir apparent to a tech conglomerate, Harry is doing his best to pick up the pieces and take charge in his life. Unlike his Amazing and prior Ultimate counterparts, this version of Harry never met Peter, and as such, they aren't best friends in this continuity. However, it almost seems inevitable that their paths will cross...

For this version of Harry Osborn, honestly, all I need is around a medium to high voice for him, maybe with a bit of nerd (though that part's optional since he's still skipping out on business parties and whatnot-)

Voice description:

  • [Sort of dry, kinda poking at Peter] So... that's an interesting suit you have there. I bet some people think it's very cool.

  • [Slightly smug]Doing well. Doing well... You find the place all right? [Slightly ingenuine/dry, but not mean] Sorry about that. The crowd in here can be a bit insufferable. Just awful people, really.

  • [Curious] You... ...haven't told her yet, have you?

Wilson Fisk
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: HeavyHaystackVA

Wilson Fisk is a man with much influence in the Big Apple. He's cold, calculating, and has the physique to match the title he's given: Kingpin.

He buys out the Daily Bugle and uses it to control the image of New York that city dwellers see, which rubs some people the wrong way. In addition, with a bunch of new pests in town, how long will it be before he loses control?


For the Kingpin, I do anticipate I'll need a deep voice with a lot of nuance to it, to betray slight hints of emotion in an otherwise tight facade.

Language:
  • english
Voice description:

  • [slightly menacing] And so I suppose congratulations are in order, Mr. Parker. It seems you've got yourself a promotion. That's if you want the job, of course. And if you can... toe the line.

  • [Disturbed] I am currently... under siege by some mask-wearing vigilante. It has been very public-- and very loud-- and it serves us to eclipse that noise with an even louder one.

  • [Confident, threatening] I see the full measure of my land and the full measure of the enemy at my walls. Because I do not play king. I am one.

Tony Stark

Unpaid
Role assigned to: SpookyStevee VA

Tony Stark is the heir apparent of Stane/Stark Enterprises, who suddenly disappeared after an attack was launched from one of their projects. This comes full circle when Peter receives an orb from Tony, along with a message that informs him of his true fate, and of what was robbed from him.


For this version of Tony, he's a lot younger than the versions of Tony we've gotten used to over the years. That said, his voice should be squarely in the medium to medium-high range, but nothing too high. This version of Tony also reads a lot more stoic than we're used to.


Another thing to note, but he only appears in this first issue. If you are casted for this role, you will also be invited to pick up roles as other extras we may need from time to time.

  • [urgent] My name is Tony Stark. And while it's likely you know my father's name, you've probably never heard of me.

  • You were supposed to have a different life, Peter Parker.

  • These people stole your future. These people robbed you of your destiny. The question is... ...do you want it back?

Robbie Robertson

Role assigned to: dhenderson

Robbie Robertson is an editor at the Daily Bugle. Not much is known about this version of Robbie, though based on his willingness to take on Fisk's offer, he seems to be a lot more morally flexible than his contemporaries (though not evil.)


For this version of Robbie, I do have an image of a more older dude, though ideally I would just like someone of color to take this role. In addition, this role only appears in this issue, and as such, whoever takes the role can stay in the server and get first dibs on any extras that may be needed if future issues happen.

  • [Ben: "Did I miss something?" Calm] You did, Ben. We've been informed that there is going to be some editorial restructuring at the paper.

  • I'm two years away from maxing out my pension. And I feel like that would be a good idea.

  • [concerned] There is an ever-increasing number of complaints from our advertisers about some of our more inflammatory content.

Role assigned to: Aly

Betty Brant is the ever-faithful secretary of the Daily Bugle. And... that's it.

That's all we know about her.

Admittedly, I was just gonna have this as an extra role, but given that the average age of the characters has gone up substantially, I figured I'd like to have an extra female VA who can fit within the age range of similar characters. Plus, who knows, there may be a role I have in mind down the line for whoever gets casted here...

Role assigned to: schmarringer

Matt Murdock in this universe became a Father. He was originally the superhero known as Daredevil, but as of present, it's currently unknown if he'll ever become Daredevil in this universe. 


(He's very preachy, i apologize-)

As a result of this, whoever this role goes to will also be part of the extras roster, with first dibs, like the rest of the one-shot VAs.

I'm just putting this up in case, but if anyone would like to help me out with editing the comic, it'd be great! I mainly rely on After Effects to do the bulk of the work and assemble the minor details in Premiere! Just leave a link to any portfolio, playlist, or any sort of work you've done for editing, bonus points if it's comic/manga related.
