There are some male/female duos in Hollywood who just go together thanks to their electric chemistry, fromMeg Ryan and Tom HankstoRyan Gosling and Emma Stone, butChris Evans and Ana de Armasare quietly rising up those ranks. On their own, Evans and de Armas are among the most talented and impressive actors working today. Evans became a household name thanks to the MCU, while de Armas has been nominated for an Oscar andnow leads aJohn Wickspin-off franchise.
Together, Chris Evans and Ana de Armas have shown that they have tremendous chemistry right from the very first time they shared the screen. It was a breakout of sorts inKnives Out,a movie that was a critical and commercial success. Since then, their films together have gone directly to streaming services and they might not be as well received but that hasn’t stopped the two from shining brightly.
Ana De Armas & Chris Evans Struck Gold With Their First Movie Together
Knives Out Was A Major Hit
In 2019,Chris Evans and Ana de Armas starred in their first movie together,Knives Out. Written and directed by Rian Johnson, this murder mystery was a rousing success both at the box office and with the critics, even earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay. Unlike a lot of great on-screen male and female pairings, Evans and de Armas didn’t play romantic interests in this movie. Instead, Evans plays Ransom, the arrogant and spoiled grandson of a wealthy writer, while de Armas is Marta, the kind-hearted nurse who took care of the patriarch.
Although there isn’t any romantic tension between the two actors, their scenes still stand out.When Ransom and Marta go off to discuss his grandfather leaving her everything in his will, the two have one of the film’s most interesting conversations.It’s unclear if Ransom is being honest in helping her or not, adding some tension to it all while Evans and de Armas deliver tremendous performances. The same goes for the climactic scene nearthe end ofKnives Outwhen everything gets revealed.
