As brief as Stan Lee’s cameo in Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse was, it succeed in touching the heart of the web-slinger’s fans the world over. After all, the Academy Award winning movie hit theaters about a month after Lee’s death.
In the film, Lee offers some encouraging words to the fledgling hero as he readies to wear his own Spider-Man suit.
“It always fits … eventually,” says Lee, smiling.
Over the weekend, Rodney Rothman – one of the three directors of the movie – took to Twitter to share with fans some of Stan Lee’s lines that didn’t make the final cut.
Other lines we recorded with Stan Lee: 1) I can't believe it. I didn’t think Spider-Man could die. 2) Why this stuff sells, I’ll never know. 3) Always thought he'd outlive me. But he loved the line we used #VuduViewingParty @VuduFans
