All About

Spider-Man

This is a story in which the hero and his nemesis wear masks that make them unrecognizable. Even on the set, telling Tobey Maguire and a stunt double apart could be tricky. ''You literally can't see eyes,'' says Willem Dafoe (the Green Goblin) of the movie's costumes. ''You can't see a mouth.''

Even so, the actors welcomed the novelty. ''Getting the character to communicate within this suit becomes about body language and little moments,'' Maguire says, noting that costume designer James Acheson briefly considered putting him in a mask that would have been transparent at certain angles. ''It was a challenge to keep the human being alive within the superhero throughout the movie.''
