The incident is from the time when Holland was just recruited on board to play Spider-Man.
James Gunn said that after he introduced Tom Holland to Stan Lee, the latter said straightaway that he heard Holland was great but personally he did not see it. Gunn said they all started laughing after this knowing Lee was only joking. He also added that later, in a 2018 tweet, Stan Lee had actually gone on to praise Holland calling him "my friend Tom" and saying the latter was a "great Spider-Man". Holland was the exact height and age that Lee envisioned this Marvel character when he first wrote Spider-Man.
