‘We watched both of your Spider-Man movies over and over and over again, and we promised him that the real Spider-Man would come to his party. Now, of course we were just going to hire a guy in a suit, but now nobody’s coming to his party.
‘His party is just us, and I was wondering if you could say hello to him. I can’t guarantee you it’s going to register, but would you mind?’
