He said: “The most important lesson he’ll [Spider-Man] ever learn is the importance of friendship and community and asking for help and relying on loved ones to pick you up when you’re at your lowest moment. ‘For young people, who have the fear of missing out, they should dive in and see their friends and get out of the house and make memories and have wonderful experiences, and I hope this movie can inspire young kids to do that.‘”
