"Tech theft is now at an all-time high thanks to Green Goblin and Venom -- can our Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man put an end to their mysterious villainous scheme before all of New York City is destroyed?" a press release said.

Robbie Daymond, who plays Spider-Man/Peter Parker in the Disney XD show Marvel's Spider-Man, will reprise his role in the LEGO Marvel Spider-Man adventure.

The voice cast will also include Ben Pronsky as Venom, Josh Keaton as Green Goblin, Laura Bailey as Gwen Stacy/Spider-Gwen and Tara Strong as Mary Jane.

This special follows LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Maximum Overload, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes -- Avengers Reassembled, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes -- Guardians of the Galaxy: The Thanos Threat and LEGO Marvel Super Heroes -- Black Panther: Trouble in Wakanda.

Venom, a live-action movie starring Tom Hardy as the conflicted anti-hero, is No. 1 at the North American box office this weekend.

Daymond tweeted his critique of that film Saturday.

"The #Venom movie was a terrible, amazing, hilarious, beautiful, awful, glorious, horrible, wonderful, hot mess... & I loved every moment of it. Every bad line of dialogue, plot hole, and idiotic moment was overshadowed by the sheer FUN I was having. New fav guilty pleasure flick!" Daymond wrote.
