In just a few weeks, Wonder Woman will have some more superhero competition at the box office. The DC heroine might be killing it now, but Spider-Man will take the icon to task in July. Sony Pictures will team up with Marvel Studios to bring Spider-Man: Homecoming to audiences all around the world soon enough. And, in a recent Facebook stream, one of the film's stars said test audiences were giving the feature lots of love.
Taking to social media, Robert Downey Jr did a live-stream today with fans to promote a charity he's working with. It was during the lengthy video that the star talked about Spider-Man: Homecoming and his excitement over the movie. Downey Jr. told one fan he was also excited to bring back Peter Parker to the Avengers world, but he is not the only one hyped about the comeback.
According to the Iron Man star, several early screenings for Spider-Man: Homecoming has already gone down. Downey Jr. said the fan response was overwhelmingly positive as "it's getting a 10/10" from responders.
There's no word on whether Downey Jr. has seen the film yet, but it doesn't seem likely. After all, the actor told Jimmy Kimmel earlier this week that he hadn't gotten a chance to screen the film. He appeared on the host's late-night show with Tom Holland for a special Marvel preview, and the latter actor said he has already seen Spider-Man: Homecoming.
"I saw it about a month ago," Holland admitted.
"You know when you revise for an exam and you feel like you crushed it, but the longer you wait for the results, the more you think you ruined it?" he continued. "So walking into the screening, I was like, 'This is gonna be awful, I'm gonna hate it,' and leaving I was over the moon. I loved it."
Holland isn't the only celebrity singing the film's praises. During the episode, Kimmel revealed he had seen a very "rough cut" of the movie and said it was the best Spider-Man film to date.

Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, young Peter Parker (Tom Holland) returns home to live with his Aunt May.

Peter must soon put his powers to the test when the evil Vulture emerges to threaten everything that he holds dear.
