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.

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.

Director Robert Rodriguez says that Netflix is ‘shocked’. At how well his 2020 film We Can Be Heroes is doing on the platform. Priyanka Chopra played a supporting role in the film.

He told to Collider, “They shock at how well it keeps doing. They call it unstoppable. They’ve never seen any movie behave like that. It just will not stop. Kids will just not stop watching it. And I think it happened with the Spy Kid movies, but you couldn’t even keep track of it.

Because you can’t tell how many times kids watch it on VCR or watch on the Disney channel. But now with their metrics, they can tell how many times a household is watching something again and again, through completion. Which a lot of the times when it’s been a big opening weekend, it didn’t mean people actually watched the whole movie. It means they watched five minutes or more.” The completion rate was really high, but also the repeat rate was just off the charts, because kids just will watch it in the morning before school and after school every day. So yeah, they definitely want a sequel, which I’m working on because it’s a new franchise for them. That behaves very differently. But kids crave the empowerment and those movies just hit those buttons.”

We Can Be Heroes was one of two back-to-back Netflix films for Priyanka. She also starred in an executive produced The White Tiger, directed by Ramin Bahrani and co-starring Adarsh Gourav and Rajkummar Rao. The film is nominating for a Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar.

Priyanka signed a multimillion-dollar deal with Amazon last year, through which she’ll produce a wide slate of content across languages for the streamer. She is currently filming Amazon’s spy series Citadel, executive produced by the Russo brothers.

We Can Be Heroes also emphasized Pedro Pascal, YaYa Gosselin, Christian Slater, Sung Kang, Adriana Barraza, Boyd Holbrook, Taylor Dooley, Vivien Blair, and Christopher McDonald.

It gives the Hong Kong Chief Secretary the power to revoke or ban any film of their choice. They also have the power to implement a $128,000 fine on anyone who is detect screening an unlicensed movie.
