Into the Spider-Verse co-writer Rodney Rothman says that Lee’s lines were delivered in a number of different ways so the scene could have been handled very differently.
Stan Lee’s traditional cameo in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is quite a touching moment.
It seems almost too perfect, which makes the fact that the sequence could have played out quite differently all the more surprising.
However, the scene couldn’t be more fitting, as Stan’s lines feel like they were made for a moment just like this one.
