It’s going to be a Marvel-lous reunion. Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson are reuniting in Apple’s adventure movie Ghosted. The twosome played the roles of Steve Rogers/Captain America and Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow in Marvel Cinematic Universe films.
English filmmaker Dexter Fletcher, who last directed Elton John’s biopic Rocketman, is in charge of the project. Deadpool writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are writing the script. The project is “a high-concept romantic action-adventure in the vein of Romancing the Stone.”
Johansson and Evans worked together in three Avengers films, Captain America: Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War.
Evans and Johansson are not only on-screen pals like Natasha and Steve. But they are good friends in real life too, as apparent in interviews.
Scarlett engaged with the owner of Marvel Studios. The bone of competition is the cross-release (simultaneously in theatres and on Disney+) of her standalone MCU movie Black Widow, which, as per Scarlett, robbed her of $50 million worth of bonuses. Apart from Ghosted, Scarlett will also be seen in Wes Anderson’s yet-untitled movie. Chris Evans, on the other hand, has projects like sci-fi black comedy Don’t Look Up and action-thriller The Gray Man lined up.
