‘We could have done better’: Chris Evans regrets this spy film that was panned by critics

River in the interview Submitted to GQ In which he goes back to his time at Marvel, Chris Evans critiques several films from his career. Including Ghosted, a spy comedy that debuted on AppleTV+ last April.

Despite Ghosted getting off to a great start on the platform, critics weren’t exactly thrilled with this comedy in which Chris Evans falls under the spell of a spy played by Ana de Armas. It doesn’t get above 5/10 on Rotten Tomatoes. Internet users weren’t kind to AlloCiné either, with an average rating of 2.6/5.

If the cast of Ghosted – as well as its brilliant cameos – attracted subscribers at first glance, the direction of Dexter Fletcher (Rocketman) and also the “regrettable” script did not convince at all:

“Ghosted is the kind of movie I grew up with. One that we see less and less. The question is more whether the society was towards him or not. I thought it was – and I still think so. Moreover, the viewing figures are quite correct. People want a movie like this when it’s done well. We could have done better“, defended Chris Evans.

The former Captain America translator, who returned to his native Massachusetts to escape a Hollywood he finds too toxic, has spent recent months producing for streaming platforms. On the Netflix side, he starred in The Gray Man opposite Ryan Gosling, quickly appeared in Don’t Look Up alongside DiCaprio and Meryl Streep, and will soon star in Merchants of Pain alongside Emily Blunt. We’ll find him very soon at Red One on the Prime Video side with Dwayne Johnson.
