I got an email from Phil where he just said, “I’m writing an animated movie and there’s a part I’m writing for you.” Before I even knew it was Spider-Man, I would have run through a wall to be in a Phil Lord and Chris Miller project. Phil was at a museum and he saw artwork and thought ,“I wonder if we can make Spider-Man like that.” That thought process is just smart. Even listening to Phil talk about the inspiration for this. But when you work with them, you see they're brilliant. They are credited! Everyone knows how brilliant they are. Those guys are - I don’t want to say under-credited. Jake Johnson: Honestly, I think what really makes this movie work, in my opinion, is Phil Lord and Chris Miller. : Jake, what was it like finding out about there was the possibility of you playing Spider-Man in this film? ![]() Maybe not that many people… but it was a lot, I’m sure! Just like there are a lot of people that live in Brooklyn, but Miles was the one bitten by that spider, I was bitten in the same way. I was chosen out of I don’t know how many hundreds of people who sent in audition tapes. I have a lot of friends that auditioned for this and I know there are a lot of people that would love this opportunity. Shameik Moore: It’s like affirmations, you know?
