The chemistry between the two is great
The actors have never dated despite many rumors that swirled around saying that the two did. Their close friends have always kept their relationship strictly platonic. Scarlett Johansson once talked about kissing Evans onscreen with Access Hollywood, “Any excuse to get close to Chris Evans is delightful… At this point, we’re old and jaded, so it’s like, ‘Bring him on!’ No big deal. Pop in the Tic-Tacs. Get the cameras rolling.”
Just like their real-life relationship, they also keep Captain America and Black widow in the friend zone. The kiss in the movie was done so they could remain incognito, not like a real kiss or anything. Chris Evans told L.A. Times, “It’s not really defined, I think that’s what makes it more dynamic. It’s what makes it more similar to life. Not every single male and female bond is going to be rooted in romance. Sometimes movies make things too perfect.”
