Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse continues to gain acclaim from critics and fans, thanks to the top-notch animation, stellar characterization, and the best use of "anyone can be Spider-Man" in any medium. The film was also home to a fairly heartbreaking cameo from Stan Lee, which was emotional for the words he said and funny since he was a sleazy businessman who wanted to sell merch.
Turns out that there were a number of versions of that cameo Stan recorded and they ended up choosing the recording that meant the most to Lee since it was recorded a year ago, not long after Joan Lee's death. Co-Director Rodney Rothman spoke about this during an interview with IndieWire, claiming that there versions of Lee's cameo that tried too hard to be funny or a bit mean-spirited.
In the end, the version we see is the take that Lee was the most sincere about. When Miles buys the suit and says "can I return it if it doesn't fit?" Lee replies "it always fits...eventually." Though this led to the joke where the sign says no refunds, the line was a bit more sincere and helped with that "anyone can be Spider-Man" message the film had.
Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse is showing now and stars Shameik Moore, Jake Johnson, Hailee Steinfeld, Liev Schreiber, Mahersala Ali, Nic Cage, John Mulaney, and Kathyrn Hahn.
