Spider-Man: Homecoming is testing very well according to star Robert Downey Jr.
The latest Spider-Man reboot is due to hit screens next month, and audiences are keen to see just how it will stack up against previous iterations.
Robert Downey Jr., who has a part in the movie guiding Peter Parker as Iron Man, is sounding very pleased with how the film has turned out, saying that the initial test screenings for the picture are being received very well.
Speaking in a recent Facebook Live event, the actor said the following when updating fans:
“This Homecoming thing turned out very well… People have been starting early screenings of Spider-Man: Homecoming, and they say it’s absolutely a 10 out of 10. I certainly enjoyed participating in it, and I think this will be one of the big Summer hits. Anyway, these L.A. premieres are usually pretty fun.”
It will truly be interesting to see just how Homecoming will pan out. A lot has been made about the deal between Sony and Disney so there is certainly pressure for the film to do well. However, Spider-Man is still one of the world’s most popular superheroes so they shouldn’t have to sweat it too much.

A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.).
