At first, Patton Oswalt doesn’t seem old enough to play Uncle Ben, the man who raised Peter Parker and whose death was the catalyst for Peter to put his powers to use protecting others and become Spider-Man.
Uncle Ben shaped Spider-Man into being the uncommonly empathetic superhero he is and we can’t think of anyone better than Oswalt to take on that role.
You can hear him say that line in this exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette for Disney XD’s upcoming animated series Marvel’s Spider-Man.
Uncle Ben, of course, is gone by the time Peter Parker truly becomes Spider-Man, but he’ll appear in flashbacks when Peter remembers the things Uncle Ben taught him.
