Chris Evans Now Admits Movie Ghosted Could Have Been Better

Let’s face it; most of us have had days at work where things feel a little off. What happens when your job means you’re in front of the rest of the world? That’s often the case for the biggest names in Hollywood, and if there’s one thing many have learned, it’s that a flop can really affect your career.

For a time, it seemed those working on the action romance movie ‘Ghosted’ were going to defend it into the ground. Now? Things have changed a little, especially when it comes to one of the stars. In fact, Chris Evans now admits ‘Ghosted’ could have been better after all.

Ghosted follows a superspy and her new love interest

The idea of an action romance movie is nothing new, and it’s something Chris Evans and Ana de Armas got to rekindle at the start of 2023. Together, they play the parts of Cole Turner and Sadie Rhodes, but it doesn’t take long for Cole to realize there’s something up with his new love interest. Although the pair spend an adventure-filled night together, Cole worries that he’s been ghosted by his new love when she doesn’t answer his messages. When his family convinces him to surprise Sadie in London, Cold soon learns that she is actually a superspy - and the drama only continues from there.

The movie received pretty mixed reviews

Apple TV+ has come a long way, with the company seemingly wanting to really go hard on this side of the business in recent months. ‘Ghosted’ first hit our screens in April 2023, but people weren’t all that impressed. Most critics had nothing but bad things to say about the movie, resulting in ‘Ghosted’ getting just 26% on Rotten Tomatoes. However, things weren’t entirely bad for the film. In fact, it saw some pretty impressive numbers, becoming the most-watched exclusive on Apple TV+ within just a few days of its release.

Chris Evans admits he was initially drawn to the movie

Of course, with all the backlash ‘Ghosted’ received in the media, it wasn’t long before people wanted to know what the stars of it all really thought about their work. Chris Evans spoke to GQ about it all, admitting the film “felt like a movie that I grew up on,” adding ‘Ghosted’ is the kind of story “we don’t see very much anymore.” Even though Chris was seemingly keen to work on ‘Ghosted’ to start, it wasn’t long before the actor began to question “whether or not audiences have outgrown those types of films.”

The actor now things everyone could have done better

To make matters even worse, it seems Chris Evans didn’t stop thinking about whether or not ‘Ghosted’ would go down well once filming was through. According to the actor, he doesn’t think audiences have “outgrown” those types of movies, but Chris did admit, “Critics didn’t like it.” However, the star believes it’s “more the fault of the movie as opposed to the appetite of the audience.” Chris continued to add that if the movie was “done properly,” then there might have been a better response from the world, stating, “We could have done better.” While his comments can’t change the past, Chris certainly does leave a lot of room for thought.

Chris Evans now admits ‘Ghosted’ could have been better, but what does this mean moving forward? In terms of viewing numbers, the film was a roaring success. Still, studios and writers might have to think a little harder if they want to win over the critics as well as the rest of the world.
