‘Avengers’ co-stars Scarlett Johansson & Chris Evans set to lead red-hot package ‘Project Artemis’
Here’s a hot one. Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow) and Chris Evans (Captain America) are set to star in buzzy new movie package Project Artemis, we can reveal, with Ozark star, director, and exec-producer Jason Bateman aboard to direct.
Evans and Johansson have been looking for projects to team up on following the end of their Avengers days and came close on Ghosted, another hot package that Apple scooped up. Johansson fell off after scheduling conflicts with Ana de Armas stepping in.
Apple and Johansson are also teaming up on Bride, which the actress is starring in and producing for Oscar-winning director Sebastián Lelio. That project is currently in development.
So far, narrative details for Project Artemis have been kept under wraps, although the picture is "set against the space race," according to Deadline.
Avengers, Marriage Story, and Lost In Translation star Johansson are in the post on Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City. Captain America, Avengers, and Knives Out star Evans is in the post on Pixar’s Lightyear and the Russo’s The Gray Man.
