Chandler Riggs, best known for his role as Carl Grimes in AMC’s hit series “The Walking Dead,” has taken on a new persona: Spider-Man. The actor, who bid farewell to the zombie-infested world of “The Walking Dead” in its eighth season, is now donning the iconic red-and-blue suit as Peter Parker in an upcoming fan-made film titled “The Spider.”

Produced by Artin John and Kealani Kitaura, the film is set to explore uncharted territory within the Spider-Man universe, offering audiences a fresh and unconventional perspective on the beloved comic book hero.
While “The Spider” is not affiliated with Marvel or Sony, Riggs and his team are carving out their own path in the realm of fan-made films, aiming to deliver a unique and captivating interpretation of the character. The trailer, posted on YouTube by the locustgarden account, has already garnered attention for its innovative approach to the Spider-Man mythos.
In addition to his acting endeavors, Riggs has also ventured into the realm of production, collaborating with fellow “The Walking Dead” alumni on separate projects.
