Jon Favreau recently spoke to IGN while promoting “The Jungle Book” and he had a lot of praise for “Captain America: Civil War.” He specifically pointed out just how much he loved Spider-Man and Tony Stark.
“I think Spider-Man made me smile every second the character was on the screen,” Favreau said. “I was so pleased with the tone of the film in general, but those sequences specifically, and I just loved the way they introduced the character. I love the version of Tony Stark I saw, especially in those scenes. As somebody who was part of the beginning of the screen persona of Tony Stark, I thought that this was really impressive and a wonderful expansion of that character.”
Favreau seemed to love Spider-Man and Tony Stark, but those two characters weren’t the only thing he enjoyed. He also had some really good things to say about the film as a whole.
“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,” Favreau added. “And as an audience member I was just smiling, and it’s nice to smile your way through a film. The audience is in for a treat, and I didn’t even see it finished so I’m sure it’s gotten even better.”
Jon Favreau helped to establish the Marvel Cinematic Universe and recently revealed that he will be returning to the MCU. Favreau announced that he will be working as an executive producer on “Avengers: Infinity War” which will be directed by the Russo Brothers.
“Captain America: Civil War” hits theaters on May 6.
