James Gunn is all praise for Marvel's next "Ant-man".
The 44-year-old director, was one of the few to attend the special screening of the film, said after Jon Favreau's "Iron Man" this film is his favourite.
"Ant-Man may just be my favourite Marvel film since Jon Favreau's Iron Man (well, maybe excluding one film to which I'm partial).
"Honestly, the movie is a complete blast! I was so happy after seeing it. It's never boring for a second and it's hilarious and warm throughout, Gunn said.
The "Guardian of the Galaxy" director also praised "Ant-man" filmmaker Reed and Edgar Wright, who developed the film.
"I think all of Peyton Reed's years directing have led him to making something as deft and nimble and joyous as this; he did an incredible job," he said.
"And, despite Edgar Wright's parting from Marvel, his spirit is felt through the entire project, and there is no doubt everyone owes him a huge debt of gratitude," he added.
"Ant-Man", starring Paul Rudd as the superhero, is based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name.
