“I think the appetite’s there”: Chris Evans Reveals Why His ‘Ghosted’ With Ana de Armas Failed Miserably Despite High Viewership Among Fans
In a recent interview with GQ, Captain America star Chris Evans has opened up about his recent release Ghosted. While Evans’s recent movie with actress Ana De Armas, Ghosted bagged a good viewership, the critics seem not very happy with the film. Talking about his career in an interview with GQ, Evans has reflected both on his career and his recent release. During the discussion, Evans said he felt that the movie could have been better.
Chris Evans Thinks Ghosted Could Have Been Better
The MCU star Chris Evans‘s recent release Ghosted has been declared a disaster by critics even though the movie bagged a good viewership. Ghosted is an Apple original movie that starred Evan and Ana de Armas. The movie was directed by Dexter Fletcher and was released in April this year.
As per the reports, the movie was quick to get good viewership, however, failed to impress the critics. While the movie got a 26% score on Rotten Tomatoes, Variety called the movie “over-the-top and convoluted”. Not only this other critics like IndeWire’s David Ehrlich went on to be more brutal calling the film insultingly bland.
Talking about these reviews from the critics with GQ, Evan himself said that they could have done better with the movie. “‘Ghosted’ to me felt like a movie that I grew up on, a movie that maybe we don’t see very much anymore,” Evans said. “And the question is whether or not audiences have outgrown those types of films.”
Further talking about this the actor also said that he doesn’t think that the fans have outgrown the genre but it is the movie that should have done better. Talking about this Evans said “I didn’t think audiences had outgrown it prior, and I still don’t think they have, despite the fact, I mean, technically I think we did okay on, in terms of viewership. Critics didn’t like it. But that’s more the fault of the movie as opposed to the appetite of the audience. I think the appetite’s there, if it’s done properly. We could have been better.”
While many fans liked the movie, this reflection by the actor shows his ability to evaluate his own work.
Chris Evans Says Reading Script Is the Last Thing He Wants to Do
After giving almost 20 years to the industry, Chris Evans says reading scripts is the last thing he wants to do. For years Evans has been on back-to-back projects. Even though the actor enjoys working on films he now feels that it is getting exhausting at some points.
Talking about his other interests Evans also told GQ that he would love to make furniture for no one and be happy for some time. Talking about his career to GQ Evans said “ I don’t want to—I’ve got to frame this the right way. I was going to say, I don’t want to waste too much time in this industry, but that doesn’t really feel.… That doesn’t sound correct. I don’t want to occupy too much space in an industry that I’ve already poured 20 years into. Sometimes I wonder if I’m lacking some sort of—like, I think I’m a very driven person. I have a lot of energy. I wake up early, I get a lot done in a day, but it’s not always focused on acting. Sometimes reading a script is the last thing I want to do.”
Further talking about this Evans also said that he will now be doing fewer movies so that he could spend some time with himself.
