Chapter 33: The Movie Is Even More Thrilling Than a Roller Coaster

"Peter! Be a man and apologize to Aunt May!"

"I…"

"This is what you should do! If you promised something and didn't follow through, that's on you!"

"I'm sorry, something held me up. I didn't do it on purpose."

"Don't make excuses! Do you have any idea how long Aunt May waited for you at the subway station? Do you understand how dangerous it is to be out at night?"

"Ben, don't lecture him. I made it back on my own, didn't I?"

"No, you spoil him too much! This kid needs to learn a lesson! He can't keep being so willful!"

On the enormous IMAX screen, Xu Can was trading acting chops with two veteran performers.

Because the timeline was pushed back four years from the 2002 Spider-Man version, the two actors from the 2002 film were already quite old and no longer suitable for the roles.

The two actors in The Amazing Spider-Man were equally outstanding, each version having its own merits.

So the production brought in Uncle Ben and Aunt May from The Amazing Spider-Man—

Martin Sheen and Sally Field.

The two of them had a wealth of performance experience, and during casual chats with Xu Can on set, they discussed many insights into acting with him.

Uncle Ben looked at Peter with earnest gravity:

"You need to learn to form your own values, learn to judge how you should act. Remember…"

"With great power comes great responsibility."

To the fans' anticipation, this iconic line that runs through Spider-Man was finally spoken aloud.

Unfortunately, at this moment Peter could not grasp the weight of those words.

"I'm not going to break the law. Stop with the lectures."

"I'm not trying to lecture you. I'm not your father—there's no need for me to lay down big truths for you…"

"Then stop playing the father role!"

Peter Parker stormed out of the room, slamming the door so hard he shattered the glass.

"Peter!"

"I'll go talk to him." In the night, Uncle Ben, uneasy, chased after him alone.

At the corner convenience store, Peter bought a bottle of cola and asked the cashier for change.

The white cashier gave him a disdainful glance:
