Ana de Armas fans are getting a lot of news today. Aside from the fact that she was nominated for her first Academy Award for “Blonde,” her upcoming movie starring Chris Evans has a release date.

“Ghosted” marks de Armas and Evans’ third collaboration, having previously worked together in the films “Knives Out” and “The Gray Man”. The film’s director, Dexter Fletcher, shared some updates while walking the red carpet of The Critics Choice Awards. “Production is well-wrapped. I’m just putting the finishing touches to it now. It’ll be ready for April. I mean, I don’t know if I’m even allowed to say that, but I’ve said it,” said Fletcher to Deadline.

The plot of “Ghosted” has been kept under wraps, but, back when the film was in the pre-production stage it was described as an old-school romance adventure. Before Ana de Armas was attached to the film, Scarlett Johansson, another one of Evans’ frequent collaborators, was supposed to play her role.
