A recent video from the official 'Spider-Man Movie' account features an insightful interview with the late Stan Lee, co-creator of the iconic superhero, reflecting on the character's genesis and lasting impact. Lee, known for his revolutionary approach to comic book heroes, shared his initial vision for Spider-Man, emphasizing the desire for a character who, unlike his predecessors, possessed a relatable private life alongside his heroic deeds. He recounted the inspiration behind Spider-Man's wall-crawling abilities, stemming from observing a fly. The video seamlessly interweaves Lee's commentary with clips from various Spider-Man films and animated features, showcasing the evolution of Peter Parker and Miles Morales through actors like Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland. Lee proudly noted the widespread appeal of Spider-Man across all age groups, from children to grandparents, and expressed his satisfaction with how each actor embodied the spirit of the character. He concluded by stating that 'anyone can wear the mask,' reinforcing the inclusive and universal message at the heart of the Spider-Man universe.
