“We really took them for granted”: Chris Evans and Jessica Alba Cracking Each Other Up in BTS Footage of Fantastic Four Will Make Fans Teary-Eyed with Nostalgia
- A clip shows the stars of 'Fantastic Four' having fun behind the scenes.
- The video of Evans and Alba’s laughter is a nostalgic treat for fans.
- It comes after Evans' recent role as Johnny Storm in 'Deadpool & Wolverine.'
It’s hard to believe it’s been two decades since Fantastic Four was released. For many, the film was a childhood favorite, bringing back memories of simpler times. However, a throwback clip from the 2005 movie might make you nostalgic again.
The video shows the friendship between Chris Evans and Jessica Alba behind the scenes. This film was also one of the first major roles for both stars. Their on-screen chemistry as the Human Torch and Invisible Woman was always beloved (considering they played on-screen siblings), and this off-screen footage is pure gold.
Chris Evans and Jessica Alba Laughing Their Way to Our Hearts
The video, which has been making rounds on social media, shows Chris Evans and Jessica Alba cracking up over something off-camera. Their laughter is infectious, and clearly shows how much fun they had making the movie. Watching them is like seeing old friends reconnect, and reminds everyone why we loved this duo so much.
Fans have been pouring out their hearts, sharing how the video brought back a wave of nostalgia. Many have noted how genuine Evans and Alba’s friendship seemed. It’s a refreshing change from the fast-paced, serious tone of today’s superhero movies. Check out some fan reactions:

Aww, that's awesome! They look so happy and relaxed. You can tell they were just having fun with each other during filming. It's great to see actors being themselves

It’s fascinating to see how far Evans has come as an actor. From the boy-next-door charm of Johnny Storm, he’s moved to complex, often gritty roles. His recent cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine is a prime example. Who would have guessed that the same actor who played the Human Torch could deliver such a raw, expletive-laden performance?
He has proven time and again that he can handle any role thrown his way. And while we miss the carefree Johnny Storm, we’re excited to see what other surprises he has in store for us.
Johnny Storm is Back on Screen, But with a Different Spin
Joseph Quinn is excited to bring Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, to life in Marvel’s upcoming Fantastic Four movie. The actor can’t wait to shine in this iconic role. Joe revealed he’s a big fan of Chris Evans’ take on the fiery superhero from the earlier Fantastic Four films. But he assured fans that he’ll bring his own fresh approach to the role, rather than copying Evans’ performance. The 30-year-old went on to tell Entertainment Weekly:
I remember really enjoying Chris Evans’s performance as Johnny in the previous films, and it felt like this would be a really exciting opportunity; I was absolutely signed up. I mean, you’re going to make it your own. [Still] It’s big boots [to fill].
Joining the Stanger Things star in the superhero team are Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing.
While The Fantastic Four: First Steps is slated for release on July 25, 2025, watch Fantastic Four (2005) on Amazon Prime Video!
