Por que Bruce Campbell estava nos três filmes do Homem-Aranha?

Havia algumas razões para isso.

1) Sam Raimi (diretor) e Bruce Campbell são bons amigos e Bruce normalmente é covarde em seus filmes.

2) Houve um boato antes e depois do Homem-Aranha 3 Bruce Campbell se tornar Mysterio, já que Mysterio constantemente culpa Spider-man por sua atuação fracassada e dublê. (fonte)

De uma entrevista com Bruce Campbell :

When did you first meet the Raimis?

• I was born in the same hospital as Sam Raimi – the William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oaks.

  I met Sam in junior high – very briefly while I was with a friend of his – and he was dressed as Sherlock Holmes, playing with dolls. I thought he was a creepy weirdo, and I avoided him, officially, until drama class in high school, in 1975.

  Sam was very much into magic, and I was his assistant at a couple of magic shows. Then, I think Sam made a logical transition into film being the ultimate sleight of hand.

And this is what – late '60s, early '70s?

• Well, for Sam, I think he started doing home movies in the early '70s. I did them in the early '70s, and we started making – then I met other guys in our neighborhood who had been making Super-8 movies longer than us, Scott Spiegel being one of them.... Josh Becker, who was Sam's neighbor...

  ... so there was a weird group of about six of us, who wound up teaming up and making Super-8 movies on weekends – almost every weekend.

So, around this time, is it a bit apocryphal that you also babysat for the Raimis?

• Well, I took Ted [Sam Raimi's younger brother] to cello lessons occasionally, but I think they made me do that because I ate dinner over there all the time.

Just out of convenience, because you were always filming?

• Yeah. We'd shoot in Sam's living room, and eat dinner, and then whenever the Raimis were working and Sam was busy I'd pick up Ted at cello lessons. I think I've known Ted since he was about 9.

Então,

• Sam Raimi e Bruce Campbell se conhecem desde o Ensino Médio
• Eles começaram a fazer filmes juntos nos anos 70.
• Bruce Campbell visitou os Raimis tantas vezes que o usaram como babá para o irmão mais novo de Sam;
