Kevin Feige stood up and cheered after watching Spider-Man: Brand New Day for the first time: "That's how good it was"
The Marvel boss's first reaction to Brand New Day is promising
Kevin Feige had a very promising reaction to Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and it's only made us more excited for the Marvel Phase 6 movie.
According to producer Amy Pascal, she and Feige had a particularly exuberant reaction to the cut of the film they saw.
"Actually, it was the first time that Kevin and I stood up after a director's cut and cheered," she told Collider. "That's how good it was. That's how good Destin [Daniel Cretton, director] is."
The film is so far pretty mysterious, even though it's just days away. We don't even know who the villain of the film is, nor do we know whom Sadie Sink is playing – though Marvel fans are convinced the Stranger Things star will be Jean Grey.
"But you'll see when you watch the movie that there's a very real reason not to tell people who Sadie Sink is playing," Cretton has teased. "And I don't think you'll get mad at it. I think you'll be like, 'Oh, I'm glad I didn't know that.'"
It's an exciting time to be a Marvel fan, with the first trailer for Avengers: Doomsday recently dropping online. It reveals Robert Downey Jr.'s Doom voice and also teases more about the return of Steve Rogers, though it still doesn't give much away on what the film is actually about.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day arrives this July 29 in the UK and July 31 in the US. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the upcoming Marvel movies and shows.
