Ana de Armas has officially ghosted…
The 33-year-old Cuban-Spanish actress will replace Scarlett Johansson in Apple Original Films’ romantic action adventure film Ghosted.
Johansson has amicably exited the film in what sources describe as a scheduling conflict.
de Armas wil reunite with her Knives Out co-star Chris Evans in the film, which will be helmed by Dexter Fletcher.
de Armas will serve as an executive producer.
The film’s writers, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, will also be producers. They developed the project based on an original idea of theirs and preemptively sold it to Skydance.
Apple acquired the high-profile project over the summer. It is described as a high concept romantic action adventure film.
The change comes because the intent is to get the picture into production by February, and the timing didn’t work out for Johansson. Ellison led the charge to bring in de Armas, who’s about as hot an actress out there right now after Knives Out, No Time to Die, and Blonde.
She most recently starred with Evans and Ryan Gosling in the Joe and Anthony Russo-directed The Gray Man for Netflix.
She has also been in talks to play the lead in the John Wick spinoff Ballerina.
