As the producer and director of the first Iron Man film, Jon Favreau was an instrumental part of kickstarting the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He's taken more of a hands-off approach since Iron Man 2 (though he acts as executive producer on plenty of MCU movies), but he still has plenty to say about the character's treatment in the upcoming 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Captain America: Civil War.

Favreau told in a recent interview that he was impressed with how directors Joe and Anthony Russo have taken over ꧟the character. "I just felt – as a filmmaker who had been part of establishing this universe – I thought that it was in really good hands with these guys and I was pleased," he said.

It's funny; much like how Favreau introduced the world to a defining portrayal of Iron Man, the Russo brothers have the responsibility of introducing Spider-Man to the MCU. Commenting on that parallel, Favreau said, "I think Spider-🌄Man made me smile every second the character was on the screen. I was so pleased with the tone of the f♈ilm in general, but those sequences specifically, and I just loved the way they introduced the character."

It might not mean too much coming from a guy with such close ties to Disney and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Studios, but considering that it's in line with what 澳洲幸运5✤开奖号码历史查询:critics and early screening attende♛es have said, I think comic fans are in for a treat.

Directed by Joe Russo and Anthony Russo, and starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Anthony Mackie, and Sebastian Stan, Captain America: Civil War opens in UKꦑ cinemas on April 29, 2016 and May💯 6, 2016 in the US.
