They also commented on Lee’s cameo inInfinity Warand just how that came about.
What has he meant to you?
Joe Russo: We meet a lot of people in this business.
There are very few people who you lock up around or you get really nervous.
I think that typically happens around people who have had a major impact on you as a child.
Having him on set, we’re always like kids.

Just hearing his voice growing up watching theSpider-Mancartoon, these were always important things to us creatively.
He was always a blast and always a lot of fun to have on set.

Anthony Russo: He was just exuberant.
The energy he would bring to set, especially at his age, was stunning.
You could tell he just loved to be there.
It lit him up.
Like Joe said, he lit everybody else up around him.
I think that’s one of the things that was so special about him.
We’re gonna figure it out?"
Joe Russo: Just that one nude scene we pitched to him.

We said, “Okay, don’t worry about it.”
No, he always was game for any cameo.
His joke he always said on set was, “How come I only get one line?”
