Sam Raimi has addressed that infamous dance scene in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Spider-Man 3.

In the movie, Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker b🍒ecomes corrupted by the influence of the black Venom suit – and to show his new bad boy persona, he… dances in the street?

. "It was Peter Parker's version – this lame kid – of what it must be like to be his evil self. But he's so whipped. He's so out of it that that's his take on it. And that didn't go over well with the audience. But that's what we were trying to do. So I'm not surprised that people… I'm glad people find it funny! We wanted it to be fun."

The scene has taken on a life of its own since Spider-Man 3 released – but, though Maguire appeared in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Spider-Man: No Way Home alongside Andrew Garfield and Tom Hollandཧ, the movie didn't re-🐬create the moment.

Raimi most recently helmed another Marvel movie – 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Doc✨tor Strange in the M♐ultiverse of Madness. That film stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Stephen Strange, who traverses the multiverse with Xochitl Gomez's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:America Chavez. Benedict Wong returns as Wong, while Elizabeth Olsen reprises her Wanda Maximoff role for the first time since 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:WandaVision.

"It was probably like two hours and 40 minutes, and it slowly came down, even though we did the reshoots," the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询𝕴:director said recently of the runtime. "We t💮ook out material even though the resh🍌oots went in. So, it slowly got down to about two hours and five minutes is the total."

Doctor Strange 2 is in cinemas💫 now. For much m🅷ore on the movie, check out our explainers on:
