If you didn’t get enough of Chris Evans and Ana de Armas in Knives Out and The Gray Man, the pair have reunited for Ghosted, a romantic action-comedy coming to Apple TV+ next month. The streaming service has released a new trailer for Ghosted, which begins with all the familiar trappings of a romantic comedy before revealing its action-packed side.
Ghosted follows salt-of-the-earth Cole (Chris Evans) as he falls head over heels for enigmatic Sadie (Ana de Armas) — but then makes the shocking discovery that she’s a secret agent. Before they can decide on a second date, Cole and Sadie are swept away on an international adventure to save the world. In addition to Chris Evans and Ana de Armas, Ghosted also stars Adrien Brody, Mike Moh, Amy Sedaris, and Tate Donovan. Ghosted was directed by Dexter Fletcher from a script by Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers. When the project was first announced, Ghosted was set to star Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson, but Johansson wound up exiting due to scheduling conflicts, and Ana de Armas stepped in to replace her.
Ghosted isn’t the only action movie Ana de Armas has on her slate, as she’s also starring in Ballerina, a John Wick spinoff movie. The film finds Armas playing a young woman with killer skills who sets out to get revenge when hitmen kill her family. Ana de Armas provided an update on Ballerina two months ago. “We’ve been in Prague filming for four months,” she said. “We still have one more month to go. And I’m in pain. My body, my back, everything hurts. I’m complaining, I’m sore, I’m bruised. Bond was fifteen minutes, this is a whole movie, another level.” Ana de Armas added, “But the other day, Keanu and I were rehearsing our very difficult stunt scene, and this man is just rolling and throwing me and doing these crazy stunts. And I’m like, I can’t complain anymore, I’m done. Because he is doing it!“ In addition to Keanu Reeves, other familiar faces from the John Wick Universe who will be appearing in the spinoff include Ian McShane as Winston, the owner of the Continental Hotel, Lance Reddick as Charon, the Continental’s concierge, and Anjelica Huston as the Director, the head of the Ruska Roma.
