Hey! Welcome to the podcast that gives you lesser-known facts, trivia, and some interesting info that you didn't know about a film or a show. This is OTTplay Now you know and I'm your host Nikhil.

Today, it's going to be Spidey, aka Spider-Man. We will talk about this hit film and some facts that you didn't know about. So ready for the ride then? Here we go!

1. Tobey Maguire had to undergo a rigid five-month routine of workout and martial arts six times a week to build a good physique required for his role in the film. He also included a high protein meal, four to six times a day.

2. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the US, Sony promptly recalled the movie posters which revealed a close-up of Spider-Man’s face with the New York skyline prominently featuring the World Trade Centre towers reflecting in his eyes. However, not all the posters could be recovered, and the ones at large are now for sale and surely a must-have for any poster collector.

3. In the very famous upside-down kissing scene between Tobey Maguire and Kristen Dunst in the movie, Tobey faced a huge challenge while shooting for the scene, where he was hung upside down and the rain sprinklers turned on. Halfway through the filming, while Maguire and Dunst were kissing, Maguire started coughing as the rainwater filled up his nose and made him suffocate.

4. Steven R Kutcher, the American Entomologist, used Steatoda spider for filming the genetically modified spider in the movie. The spider was painted red and blue by Jens Schnabel while it was on anesthesia, which was color coordinated with Spider-Man's outfit.
