“STAR LORD AND SPIDER MAN?” one user wrote in wonder, with another replying “Best combo for a film ever,” referencing Pratt and Holland, who play the roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

“CHRIS PRATT AND TOM HOLLAND?! OHMYGOSH I’M SEEING THIS DAY ONE,” another user commented.

The film will reportedly follow a “pair of teenage elf brothers” (Pratt and Holland) who are “on a quest to find at least a little magic left in their suburban fantasy world.”

“When I was a year old, my father passed away,” Scanlon said during the event. “I don’t remember him and neither does my brother, who was 3 at the time.”

“I have always wondered who my father was,” the directed added, “and that question became the blueprint for this movie.”
