James Frain
There are so many things we have not seen in ‘Spider-Man’ yet… I want to use bad guys never seen in movies. The first films were so traditional and so scrupulously followed the character’s classic plot… So there’s a lot of stuff left in stock. ‘The Clone Saga,’ for example.

That’s why people love Spider-Man: he’s the most grounded, relatable of superheroes.

‘Fan’ is an understatement. I had the Spider-Man costume, I had bed sheets, toys, you name it. I’ve always had an argument with my best friend that Spider-Man was way better than Batman. I was a massive fan growing up.

Alex Kurtzman
I feel like what we’ve done in ‘Homecoming‘ is really scratching the surface with Spider-Man.

If you think about it, now that Spider-Man is in the Marvel universe, that means that Peter Parker was probably, like, eight years old when he saw Tony on TV telling the world he’s Iron Man. And when you start thinking about it as a whole world like that, it gets really fascinating.

Kenneth Choi
‘Spider-Man’ seems to have a different tone to the pure Marvel stuff, but I really enjoyed the ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ and ‘Iron Man’ movies. I love the special effects and how it seems very real, but at the same time, it still lives within the realm of Marvel. That’s got to be a lot of work.

We have always looked upon Hollywood superheroes like Super-Man and Spider-man, but Baahubali is our own Indian superhero, and the connection people have made with this franchise is unprecedented.

There’s just nothing funnier or crazier than that – doing your Broadway debut as Spider-Man in ‘Spider-Man’ the musical. It was, like, the last thing I could have ever possibly imagined happening. I mean, I would tell people I was playing Spider-Man, and people would just break out laughing because it was so ridiculous!

Every movie that I’ve picked, from my first film on, has been considered by everyone to be ‘career suicide.’ And I have an amazing life. I have an amazing career. I work with artists. But I’m not making ‘Spider-Man.’

I have always been a huge fan of the Spider-Man comics and films.

I was into Batman. I was into Spider-Man.

Spider-Man is loved by a huge range of people. I think the real target audience is people younger than 16. It’s because he’s going through what they’re going through.

If I’d been offered ‘Spider-Man,’ I probably would have done it. I don’t think it’s bad to go and do those things.

I think we can all agree it would be pretty amazing to see Spider-Man and Venom face off in a film.

I started my work on a lot of the ‘Batman’ books. So I’ve worked on a ‘Batman,’ ‘Spider-Man,’ some of the ‘X-Men’ books.

I was really into the first ‘Spider-Man’ films with Tobey Maguire, so it’s pretty cool how it all came full circle.

I auditioned for ‘Spider-Man.’ I auditioned for ‘Han Solo,’ all those big movies. I would love to do something like that.

The visual of Deadpool was very informed by Spider-Man.

I loved Spider-Man, Spider-Man was the man.

I’ve met so many of my idols, but the one person that has eluded me is Bono. But because he’s done ‘Spider-Man,’ I keep thinking maybe, through a Broadway connection, somehow our paths will eventually merge.

Even though ‘Spider-Man’ is a huge blockbuster, it really didn’t feel like that. It felt like we were making this weird, funny high school movie. Like just hanging out with a group of friends.

Spider-Man is loved by a huge range of people. I think the real target audience is people younger than 16. It’s because he’s going through what they’re going through.

For Hollywood to make ‘Spider-Man,’ only to redo the movie a couple years later, just boggles the mind. To recast ‘The Incredible Hulk‘ for a third time? I don’t get it.

For every person who passes on the opportunity to write Spider-Man or Superman, I guarantee there are 5000 hungry writers who would give their eye-teeth to do it. But just because they want to do it, it doesn’t mean they are capable of doing it.

I just kind of stumbled into this Marvel thing with ‘Spider-Man.’ It’s been great. I love it, it keeps me in town, it keeps me busy, and it’s a lot of fun.

One of the reasons why Spider-Man is my favorite superhero is because we both undergo big changes in our lives.

What’s amazing is everyone knows who Spider-Man is. We were filming in a Chicano community and standing side by side were a Cal Tech lab technician and a six-year-old boy, and both of them were in awe of the character. In fact, you might say he’s an equal opportunity fantasy hero.

People are paying a premium to see movies in 3-D, and that’s a very big deal. It’s never been done before that someone says you have to pay more to see ‘Spider-Man’ than a romantic comedy.

Michael Lynton
I never thought I would be Spider-Man in an ‘Avengers’ movie, but it’s such a surreal experience, dude. It’s so crazy.

If Spider-Man is your ground level superhero, I wanted to come up with a ground-level villain. I wanted to figure out if I could turn a regular guy into a super-villain.

I always say it’s very difficult when you’re tackling something like ‘Spider-Man’ or ‘Batman’ that has been done so many times before.

I love the Spider-Man story. I watched the cartoon on TV when I was a kid, and my brother wore his Spider-Man pyjamas everywhere.

Everyone can guess what ‘Corn Flakes’ tastes like, even if you’ve never had them. But what, pray tell, does ‘High School Musical’ or ‘Spider-Man’ cereal possibly taste like? In this late era, we have reached the ultimate deracination between product image and what actually sits on our spoon.

I started with superhero stuff – ‘X-Men’ and ‘Spider-Man’ and ‘Batman’ and ‘Hellboy’ – but I wasn’t familiar with ‘The Strainuntil I started the show.

I’m not a really big comic book person. I know the typical ones – ‘Spider-Man’ and ‘Wonder Woman‘ and ‘Storm‘ and that stuff. But don’t quiz me, because I’m not good at things like that.

When you tell people you’re a playwright, their eyes sort of glaze over. But when you say you write the ‘Fantastic Four’ or ‘Spider-Man,’ they perk up. It’s a touchstone that has gained more credibility as artistic expression.

Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
I was always a fan of Spider-Man and most superheroes. There aren’t a whole lot of little boys out there that aren’t.

As cool as it is to be Spider-Man at times, there’s also a price to pay for that – and he has to learn to balance things out.

I’m not a really big comic book person. I know the typical ones – ‘Spider-Man’ and ‘Wonder Woman‘ and ‘Storm‘ and that stuff. But don’t quiz me, because I’m not good at things like that.

I’d love to be Spider-Man, but one, it doesn’t fit into the ‘Gleeschedule.

I was always a fan of Spider-Man and most superheroes. There aren’t a whole lot of little boys out there that aren’t.

I don’t know that a movie like ‘Daredevil’ did better for having Ben Affleck then ‘Spider-Man’ did having Tobey Maguire, who was a relative unknown at the time.

If I’d been offered ‘Spider-Man,’ I probably would have done it. I don’t think it’s bad to go and do those things.

Ben Wheatley
Seth Meyers and I wrote a ‘Spider-Man’ comic.

The success of ‘X-Men’ paved the way, I have to presume, for Sony to make Sam Raimi’s ‘Spider-Man.’

I got a message that Quentin Tarantino would like to meet me, that he was a Spider-Man fan and wanted to talk about playing Peter Parker. We had a general chat, a nerdy conversation about Hollywood in the 1960s and 1970s.

I read Spider-Man, and that’s how I knew about Wilson Fisk.

What with ‘The Brady Bunch,’ ‘Spider-Man’ and ‘Sound of Music,’ I have three cults going.

I was the very first Spider-Man, and it was cool to be him.

I’ve been a comics fan since my first hit of those gateway drawings: Judy, Asterix, and the TV cartoon ‘Spider-Man and his Amazing Friend’ – which naturally led me to Spider-Man comics.

Sometimes, you’ll watch the news and you’ll see two-year-old boys in South Africa, wearing ‘Spider-Man’ t-shirts. It’s such a global phenomenon.

James Vanderbilt
I think I related more literally to the early ‘Spider-Man’ comics from Steve Ditko because it could be upfront and direct about the problems of being a kid. He captured being a teenager so beautifully.

There are so many things we have not seen in ‘Spider-Man’ yet… I want to use bad guys never seen in movies. The first films were so traditional and so scrupulously followed the character’s classic plot… So there’s a lot of stuff left in stock. ‘The Clone Saga,’ for example.

Spider-Man’s probably my favorite. You see, Batman is a billionaire and there’s nothing really cool about a billionaire saving the world. But Spider-Man is Peter Parker, a conflicted character who puts on a suit and saves the world. I love that.

Way back in the ’70s, I was approached to talk about the story I’d write for a Spider-Man movie. They also talked to me about Batman. I had to think about it, but that was way, way back when.

When you’re a kid, and you’re a superhero lover, the holy trinity is Batman, Superman and Spider-Man, so to be able to take any of those and play with it is a huge joy.

Alex Kurtzman
I went to my first school dance on the set of ‘Spider-Man.’ The funny thing is, it wasn’t actually real. I didn’t choose my dress or my date or anything about it. I just showed up for work.

The first comic I read was a Spider-Man comic, and my introduction to it was through my family. My cousins are a lot older than me, and they’ve been huge comic book fans, from the jump.

Joivan Wade
Every time I got ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ or ‘Fantastic Four’ or another book firmly on the rails, we got pulled into some big event book or crossover and it cost momentum and messed badly with the pacing and structure of the book.

I feel like I’ve been playing Spider-Man my whole life. He’s a character I’ve been pretending to be in my bedroom since I was a kid – so I’ve been preparing for this forever, I think.

Back in the early 1970s, what got me and another 400,000 kids out of bed without needing to be called twice was the latest issue of The Amazing Spider-Man.

I’m a wall to wall geek. I love sci fi; I’ve had a crush on Spider-Man since I was five years old, and there’s an uncomfortably large shelf in my living room just for my comics.

Katie Findlay
Each generation needs a ‘Spider-Man’ to mirror their angst.

I actually remember the exact date I got the call that I got the ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ role – May 6, 2016. It was probably the best day of my life.

The similarity between Iron Man and Green Lantern is, unlike Superman or any of the X-Men or Spider-Man, anyone can be Green Lantern or Iron Man. All you need is the ring or the suit.

Well I grew up following most of the major titles like ‘Fantastic Four,’ ‘Spider-Man,’ ‘Avengers,’ etc. But I had also a lot of love for the smaller titles like ‘Master of Kung Fu,’ ‘Black Panther,’ ‘The Defenders,’ ‘Inhumans,’ and of course Power-Man and Iron Fist.’

I wish I was agile like Spider-Man and everything we do that draws on the childhood inspirations and the adulthood inspirations, for that matter. They’re definitely the reason how I am, how I am today, because I was a smaller kid who was a nerd.

Children from like 8 and even up to the college age – Spider-Man appeals to a fairly broad demographic but, like I said, a mean age probably of 12 is a good mark – they process information so quickly and it’s not because of attention deficit or short attention span.

There’s so much I’m interested in that I didn’t discover in high school. For ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’, because Gwen is a scientist, we went to a lab in San Diego, and we were learning about biology. And I’m fascinated! Because I never went to biology class in high school.

We don’t quite have the same comic book culture as America, but I would watch Spider-Man cartoons and X-Men cartoons and watch Bond as much as anyone on the planet.

Every generation has their favorite Spider-Man television show. For a lot of us, it’s the one that has the song, ‘Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can.’

I like a film such as ‘American Beauty,’ and I like ‘Spider-Man.’

There’s this great panel – I forget what the actual comic is – of Spider-Man in the rain holding an umbrella and eating some Chinese takeout. It’s like, that’s the essence of ‘Spider-Man.’

I’m walking around our apartment right now, and I see tons of action figures everywhere. There’s Spider-Man stuff, old 1996 WWF figures, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Marvel stuff.

Whereas Superman is a godlike guy from another planet and Batman is this mysterious, unknowable billionaire, everyone in ‘Spider-Man’ is human and flawed.

I actually have videos on my phone of me interviewing people and asking them what they thought of the new Spider-Man in ‘Civil War.’ They were like, ‘Oh he’s great. I love him,’ and then some people were like, ‘Nah, I don’t love him. he’s not great’ – and I was standing right in front of them!

Spider-Man initially made me want to come to New York and work for Marvel; I wanted to be a comic book artist.

Chris Columbus
What’s cool about Spider-Man is that it’s everybody – anyone, you put on the suit, anyone believes that you’re Spider-Man. That’s what’s charming about the character. He’s anyone. He’s a huge nerd that ends up being this huge superhero.

In comics, you have to imagine what happens. I really loved it; I loved collecting. I loved following the adventures and figuring out what was going to happen next. I was a huge X-Men fan; I was a huge Spider-Man fan, and, to large degree, I remain one. It’s literature for me; it’s art.

More than any other super-hero, ‘Spider-Man’ presents us with something very local in its ethics. It’s not messianic. It’s far more tangible.

In the first Spider-Man, at the end of the movie, Peter Parker had to deny himself a relationship with a girl that he’s in love with. The very next thing that happens is that he’s swinging through the city.

John Dykstra
I always had this fascination with superheroes. Who didn’t love Hulk and Spider-Man?

I auditioned for ‘Spider-Man.’ I auditioned for ‘Han Solo,’ all those big movies. I would love to do something like that.

Chandler Riggs
If Spider-Man is your ground level superhero, I wanted to come up with a ground-level villain. I wanted to figure out if I could turn a regular guy into a super-villain.

When I first came to New York City, what I was thrilled about was not the Empire State Building, or the Statue of Liberty; it was the fireplugs in the street. These things that Jack Kirby had drawn. Or these cylindrical water towers on top of buildings that Steve Ditko’s ‘Spider-Man’ fights used to happen in and around.

Everyone in the world knows ‘Spider-Man.’ And to be accepted into such a large franchise was overwhelming.

Before sequels became the most reliable way to make a buck, Bond set the standard for lavish serial adventures. Before Hollywood found gold in multimillion-dollar adaptations of comic-book characters – in the Superman, Batman and Spider-Man blockbusters – Bond was the movies’ first big-budget franchise superhero.

I just remember how cool and exciting and crazy it seemed when Marvel was giving this new ‘Ultimate Spider-Man’ title to this crime writer Brian Michael Bendis who had never really done any superhero stuff before.

I grew up loving X-Men, Spider-Man and Batman. Those are obviously the key big ones, but there’s always something kind of cool about Aquaman still, the idea of creating a huge world that is on our planet.

I think every kid is a ‘Spider-Man’ fan at some point.

Spider-Man has always been a huge part of my life. I love the movies. I love the comics. And I always just wanted to be Spider-Man.

I guess my journey with comics began with stuff like Spider-Man and Batman. I started off with mainstream superhero stuff, which I’ve never abandoned.

I just kind of stumbled into this Marvel thing with ‘Spider-Man.’ It’s been great. I love it, it keeps me in town, it keeps me busy, and it’s a lot of fun.

No one knows who Peter Parker is. People just know who Spider-Man is. When you get that in the mix of growing up and finding yourself, that’s more of a relatable tone than being Captain America and having the country‘s weight on your shoulders.

Whereas Superman is a godlike guy from another planet and Batman is this mysterious, unknowable billionaire, everyone in ‘Spider-Man’ is human and flawed.

I think I related more literally to the early ‘Spider-Man’ comics from Steve Ditko because it could be upfront and direct about the problems of being a kid. He captured being a teenager so beautifully.

Spider-Man has always been a symbol of goodness and doing the right thing and looking after your fellow man.

I knew very little about ‘Spider-Man’. I grew up more in the ‘Superman’ generation. ‘Spider-Man’ – I didn’t know so much. But it is a really successful franchise, and I’m happy to be involved with it.

They do think it is a big summer movie and that’s why they want to give it a great chance, but they don’t want to go up against Spider-Man 2 or some of the other big movies, the $100 million films that are coming up.

Every significant book at Marvel had its key antagonist. ‘The Fantastic Four’ had Doctor Doom; ‘Spider-Man’ had Doc Ock, among others; Thor had Loki, if not Surtur. Without Magneto, the X-Men had nobody.

My reason for getting into the film business was a Spider-Man comic called ‘The Night Gwen Stacy Died‘ when I was a kid; it changed my life.

Chris Columbus
Have you ever seen the video of the kid with the Spider-Man pinata? He just sets the stick down, walks over, and gives the Spider-Man pinata a hug. He doesn’t want to hurt his Spider-Man. He loves him! And I think that’s a universal feeling towards Spider-Man. You just can’t help but love him.

I had a Spider-man costume when I was about three, and I lost the mask. So I went to the underwear drawer and put a pair of red pants on my head. My dad came home and just laughed, and I ran into my room and burst into tears.

Emun Elliott
There’s this great panel – I forget what the actual comic is – of Spider-Man in the rain holding an umbrella and eating some Chinese takeout. It’s like, that’s the essence of ‘Spider-Man.’

Spider-Man has always been a symbol of goodness and doing the right thing and looking after your fellow man.

It took a while for the first ‘Blade‘ to get made, and Marvel decided they liked the Whistler character so much, when Blade guest starred on the ‘Spider-Man’ cartoon, they put Whistler on the cartoon, and the movie hadn’t come out yet.

He can’t have any friends and maintain his secret identity as Spider-Man. He can’t even have a normal sex life. He’s a national hero, yet he’s a recluse. He’s instantly recognized by the public, but he cant tell anyone who he is.

I don’t want you to think that I’m up late reading a stack of Spider-Man comics and eating a tray of lemon cookies while sucking my thumb. I’m not doing that. But I am loyal to the influences of my childhood.

I wish I was agile like Spider-Man and everything we do that draws on the childhood inspirations and the adulthood inspirations, for that matter. They’re definitely the reason how I am, how I am today, because I was a smaller kid who was a nerd.

I get recognized more for my ‘Lip Sync Battle‘ than I do for being Spider-Man.

People of African descent, most of us grew up accepting and loving Spider-Man. I still love Spider-Man. I still love the Incredible Hulk. I still have those characters that were white role models, superheroes, heroes – whatever you want to call it. You basically had no choice but to accept those.

Spider-Man has always been a huge part of my life. I love the movies. I love the comics. And I always just wanted to be Spider-Man.

Wonder Woman isn’t Spider-man or Batman. She doesn’t have a town, she has a world. That was more interesting to me than a kind of contained, rote superhero franchise.

I think ‘Spider-Man 2’ is one of the greatest superhero movies ever made.

I was not a giant comic book fan as a kid, but to the extent that I did read comics, Spider-Man was always my favorite guy.

No one likes a pushy parent, and, ‘pride‘ being one of the seven deadly sins, I needed to tread very carefully when creating a show about my eldest son, Tom, better known as Peter Parker and even better known as Marvel’s new ‘Spider-Man.’

I don’t want to be like Spider-man or Batman, the do-gooder kind of thing.

No one knows who Peter Parker is. People just know who Spider-Man is. When you get that in the mix of growing up and finding yourself, that’s more of a relatable tone than being Captain America and having the country‘s weight on your shoulders.

When Ellen Datlow was running the fiction at ‘Omni’ in the late ’80s and into the ’90s, I had a subscription. It was one of two subscriptions I’d saved for, the other being ‘Spider-Man.’ And they each opened my mind and my heart in wonderful ways.

I’ll be Spider-Man. I’m just kidding, I love Tom Holland.

I turned down ‘Harry Potter‘ and ‘Spider-Man,’ two movies that I knew would be phenomenally successful, because I had already made movies like that before and they offered no challenge to me. I don’t need my ego to be reminded.

I went to see the ‘Spider-Man’ movies because my wife is a fan, and so are my kids.

I wouldn’t say that I was a Spider-Man super fan.

I love the Spider-Man story. I watched the cartoon on TV when I was a kid, and my brother wore his Spider-Man pyjamas everywhere.

I was a dress-up Spider-Man for kids’ birthday parties for a while.

When I was a kid… if I couldn’t get a ride to the comic book store, I would walk a mile and a half each way to get the latest issues of ‘Batman’ and ‘Spider-Man’ and ‘X-Men.’ I could not choose one over the other.
