The director of the newest Marvel film has enjoyed a spot of golf at a course in Kent.

Destin Daniel Cretton took to social media to share a picture of himself playing at Stonelees Golf Centre in Ramsgate.

The American film director, screenwriter and producer posted the snap on Instagram, writing: "The calm before the swell. A rejuvenating round at the beautiful @stoneleesgolfcentre with some dear friends. I love England."

Mr Cretton is the brother-in-law of Stonelees manager Suzannah Chapman and has played at the popular course many times over the years.

She said: "He is kind and considerate, so laid back and very much loved by his friends, family, extended family and all who have worked with him on his movies.

"You will likely find numerous quotes online about how much respect his cast and crew have for him."

Mr Cretton is best known for directing the Marvel blockbuster Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

The superhero movie is based on the comics featuring the character Shang-Chi and is the 25th and latest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

It is the first Marvel Studios film with an Asian director and a mostly Asian cast.

Mr Cretton also directed Just Mercy, starring Michael B Jordan and Jamie Fox; The Glass Castle, featuring Naomi Watts and Woody Harrelson; and Short Term 12 - which all feature actress Brie Larson.
