Alexis Ortega's stint in the entertainment industry

Alexis Ortega's work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe became especially influential, as he lent his voice to 'Peter Parker'/'Spider-Man' in the Latin American Spanish versions of Captain America: Civil War, Spider-Man: Homecoming and Avengers: Infinity War. These performances earned him a presence as the defining voice of 'Spider-Man' for millions of Spanish-speaking fans. However, MCU isn't the only project Alexis was linked to. He was also known for his voice, which prominently featured in animated movies and series from Disney and Pixar.

His most recognised animation work includes 'Tadashi Hamada' in Big Hero 6 and Big Hero 6: The Series. Alexis Ortega also voiced roles in Cars 3 and Finding Dory. Beyond voice dubbing, he was also known for his roles in live-action television. One of his most visible appearances was in Luis Miguel: The Series, where he portrayed 'Jorge (El Burro) Van Rankin' during the character's younger years. 

Alexis also participated in other Mexican television productions, further proving that he is a capable dramatic actor rather than just a dubbing specialist.

His voice accompanied Tom Holland's performance from Spider-Man's MCU debut through pivotal franchise moments. While he was immensely loved for all his projects, it was Spider-Man: Homecoming that cemented Alexis as an iconic vocal reference for 'Peter Parker' among Latin American audiences.
