Fans who were expecting another on-screen meeting between Chris Evans (known for his role as Captain America) and Scarlett Johansson (MCU’s Black Widow) will be disappointed with the news from Deadline . The main female role will go to another actress – Ana de Armas, whose recognition brought her the role in the last Bond, No Time to Die .
Scarlett Johansson was officially forced to retire from production due to a conflicting schedule. Unofficially, this is a reason often given to cover up conflicts between actors and producers over finance or artistic differences. However, this time the production of the film was planned for the summer and was supposed to start in February, which could actually create a problem for the actress. The production would be Scarlett Johansson’s first project after the famous lawsuit against Disney.
Ghosted will be produced by Skydance and directed by Dexter Fletcher ( Rocketman and Bohemian Rhapsody ). It was written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (known from Deadpool and Zombieland ), who will also occupy the position of producers. The movie will be an original Apple project. Their partnership agreement with Skydance Media started in February this year and is expected to last for years.
