The cameo is next to impossible to spot without slowing down the footage, so I’m sure fans are eager to scour their own copies frame-by-frame.
‘Into the Spider-Verse’ producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller recently spoke about the poignancy of Lee’s cameo, which served as the first on-screen role that debuted following his death. Miller said:
“I feel like it’s taken on an added poignancy since we lost him, but it still as a moment still plays to cheers, but now with some ‘AHs’, and then some laughs. I’m just happy that we got to put him in a really integral spot of the movie, and sort of at a really important, emotional moment for the movie. And be able to honor him in a way that felt like it did him some justice.”
Lord continued, saying:
“I think that it’s a really warm cameo, and we’ve seen it play with an audience for a few months now, and it’s always been a welcome presence. People are always excited to see him. We’ve seen it since then with an audience, and there’s still a kind of joy in it, even though we all miss him. The audience basically welcomes him back. It’s like seeing an old friend.”
‘Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse’ will be available on home media release March 19th. Upcoming MCU projects include ‘Captain Marvel’ on March 8th, ‘Avengers: Endgame’ on April 26th, and ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ on July 5th.
