The curiosity was revealed by the director Sam Raimiresponsible for the feature, saying that the comic artist was not satisfied with some moments of the production.

THE Varietythe filmmaker recalled that Lee was disappointed with the film’s computer graphics (CGI), but that’s because he saw an unfinished snippet, just a preview. ”One of the greatest moments of ‎’Spider-Man’‎‎ was showing Stan Lee for the first time the CGI of Spider-Man swinging on the web. I looked at him, and he was like an uncle, you know? And he whispers in my ear, ‘Is that it?’ And then I realized he didn’t know it was a preview”said.

“He was new to the tech side of things. He was so disappointed! I almost cried! I said, ‘Stan, the world has never seen anything like it.’ ‘Yes, but it doesn’t look cool’. I told him, ‘Don’t worry. It will be great’. Anyway, when he saw the finished movie, he had a lot of tears in his eyes because this is his baby.”clarified Raimi.

After taking on the direction of “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”, Sam Raimi was asked about a continuation of the Spider man in maguireand commented on the possibility of a fourth film. “I love Toby [Maguire]. I love Kirsten Dunst. I think anything is possible. I don’t really have a script or a project. I don’t know if Marvel would be interested in doing that at the moment. I don’t know what their opinion of the possibility is. I didn’t pursue the subject, but it sounds beautiful. Even if it wasn’t a Spidey movie, I would love to work with Tobey again.”he confessed.

Sam had already commented on “Spider-Man 4”, but after differing ideas between him and Marvel Studios, the project was put aside.
