Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson, two Marvel Cinematic Universe celebrities, are scheduled to star in a new film together, but it’s not a new comic book or superhero film.
The film Ghosted, starring Evans and Johansson, is touted as a “adventure movie project.” It’s being made specifically for Apple.
Ghosted is directed by Dexter Fletcher, who also directed Rocketman. Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, creators of Deadpool, are scripting and producing the film.
The premise is unknown, although it has been billed as a “high-concept romantic action-adventure in the vein of Romancing the Stone, the 1984 adventure film starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Currently, Johansson is suing Disney over the distribution of Black Widow in cinemas and on Disney+. Since the lawsuit was made public, she’s signed on to two more films: Ghosted and the upcoming Wes Anderson film.
Evans has already collaborated with Apple on the drama Defending Jacob. It’s unclear as to if Johansson (Black Widow) and Evans (Captain America) will ever return to the MCU.
