Webb told Total Film at Comic–Con: "Spider–Man is part of our culture, he‘s a perennial character. He belongs on the big screen. Spidey is constantly re–examined and there‘s way too many versions of him in the comics… That was something I thought we could do cinematically."
Despite his only feature film experience before Spidey coming in the form of indie rom com hit (500) Days of Summer, Webb felt up for the challenge of tackling the superhero – and doing so in 3D: "I was a little sceptical at first – you feel the presence of those other movies. But then I was like, ‘How could I walk away from this? What an opportunity!‘ What better cinematic character is there than Spidey! I wanted to shoot certain things very specifically for 3D.
"There‘s an experiential component to 3D that‘s really fantastic and we‘re experimenting with generating that point of view so you feel how Spider–Man feels when he‘s jumping over these buildings," he said.
"We made a conscious effort to do those effects practically and we had an incredible stunt team. We built this whole rig – hundreds of feet long – in Harlem, and we actually swung a man through traffic down the street. I thought that was really exciting, not to mention an incredible level of acrobatics".
