Hollywood’s first double strike since 1960 didn’t go ignored on Thursday — at least not in the Hall H panel for “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2” video game. Before the conversation could even get started, the game’s star Yuri Lowenthal made sure to address the elephant in the room, and voice support for those striking.
Of course, Lowenthal first got the room roaring with his entrance. As he and his fellow “Spider-Man” voices and creators took the stage, Lowenthal hopped up onto the table and started dancing. More specifically, he started doing Tobey Maguire’s infamous moves from “Spider-Man 3.”
But, as things got underway and he was properly introduced, Lowenthal paused the moderator’s hype efforts to address the biggest issue surrounding the convention (and every other corner of the entertainment world).
