Chris Evans Talks Reuniting with Ana de Armas on Apple TV+’s Ghosted

This month will bring the debut of Ghosted, a new film set to arrive exclusively on Apple TV+. Ghosted will be the latest collaboration between Chris Evans and Ana de Armas, who previously starred alongside each other on 2019’s Knives Out and 2022’s The Gray Man. ComicBook.com recently attended Evans’ panel at Chicago’s C2E2 convention, where he spoke about what drew him to Ghosted, and the experience of getting to collaborate with de Armas again.

“That type of movie’s very much up my alley,” Evans explained. “[Rhett] Reese and [Paul] Wernick, a couple of writers who did Deadpool, they’re fantastic. They pitched me the idea and I was like, ‘I love it.’ It felt like a 90s movie. It felt like something that is just fun. It’s very rewatchable, [a] good hangover mode, and I don’t know if I see those enough these days. We mentioned a little bit of like, not like a cynical thing audiences have seen a lot, you know what I mean? There’s very high expectations, and sometimes movies like that are just great, if they’re done well. I really liked it. And the role itself was really attractive, because I got to be so incapable. He’s the audience. It’s always fun playing the eyes of the audience. The more panicked I was, the more I go to pieces, not only the funnier it is, but the more connectivity you have to the people watching, because that’s probably what most of us in here would do. [It’s] certainly what I would do in circumstances like that.”

“Plus getting to work with Ana again… she’s fantastic,” Evans added. “We’ve done a few things together now, and she’s great. She throws herself into everything completely. The first action sequence we had, she was doing things that were on Black Widow level. Truly unbelievable stunt work, where I was like, ‘Wow, you’ve been doing your stunt training.’ She really went for it. I mean, we all saw that in Bond, too. I mean, she was she was so good in Bond. So effortlessly cool. So yeah, that was a bit of a no brainer.”
