First trailer for the “Walking Dead” star’s new Spider-Man horror film.

The Walking Dead’s Chandler Riggs plays Spider-Man in the first trailer for a fan film.

The actor is best known for portraying Carl Grimes in the zombie apocalypse drama and stars in The Spider, a horror take on Peter Parker’s superhero franchise. This is a non-profit fan film that is not affiliated with or endorsed by Marvel, Sony or Disney.

In the footage (which you can see above), we see a tortured Peter walking through the dark streets fresh from his radioactive spider bite. But soon his newfound powers cause terrible things to happen as outbreaks of violence and bloody faces tease him.

Interestingly, Riggs auditioned for the role of Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man as the MCU was preparing for the character’s big appearance.

Tom Holland eventually got the role, with Riggs telling ComicBook in 2018: “I didn’t even get a call back. I just auditioned for it and it’s fine.”

He continued: “I auditioned for Spider-Man, I auditioned for (Solo: A Star Wars Story), all those big movies. I would love to do something like that. It would be great, especially now that I have a lot more free time, that would be really, really cool.

Meanwhile, the actor signed up for another horror project titled Hacked last October.

“Hacked tells the story of a family who loses everything to a prolific and elusive hacker, aptly named ‘The Chameleon,'” the synopsis reads. “Parents Amy and Mark have $20,000 stolen, and their children Ralph and Freddy’s entire digital lives are hacked – social media, video game items, even their pointless online homework!”

“When the bank, social media platforms and law enforcement cannot help, the family takes matters into their own hands.”

The Spider currently does not have a release date. The walking dead aired on AMC in the US and STAR on Disney+ In the United Kingdom.
