ET's Hallie Stephens recently sat down with Ant-Man star Michael Pe?a at the junket for his new Netflix series, Narcos: Mexico, where the actor reflected on Lee's impact.
"There was one time that I met him and he was like, 'I want to take a picture with you.' I’m like, 'What?!' He saw the movie and he said, 'You did a great job, boy,'" Pe?a remembered. "I just felt so cool."
"[His death is] really sad because, you know, the guy wrote a bunch of characters and created this entire universe and he made a lot of people happy. And he’s the one who really said, 'If you’re different that makes you special.' He was one of those guys that really believed that. And it’s sad to see him go," he added.
