Despite the fact that both Evans and Johansson have left the MCU behind, they will soon renew their working partnership in Project Artemis, a new original film from Apple TV+.

Deadline notes that Evans and Johansson are close friends who had been looking to reunite even before this film. The duo were previously slated to co-headline another Apple TV+ original film, Ghosted. Johansson was forced to pull out of that movie over scheduling conflicts, with Ana de Armas stepping in to replace her. That project is currently being filmed.

Johansson also had a very active hand in bringing Project Artemis to life. She commissioned and developed the script through her production company, These Pictures. Johansson will produce the film alongside her production partners, Jonathan Lia and Keenan Flynn. Bateman will also be a producer on the film through his production company, Aggregate Films.

It may be a while before Project Artemis appears on Apple TV+, but Johansson will next appear in Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City. As for Evans, he will lend his voice to Buzz Lightyear in Pixar’s next film, Lightyear. He is also starring in the Russo brothers’ Netflix original film The Gray Man.

Everything leaving Netflix in April 2023
The cast of New Girl.

Netflix may be the king of the streamers, with lots of new and exciting arrivals every month. But even Netflix has to bend to the fact that nothing stays on there forever. In April, even a handful of Netflix original animated shows are exiting, including Turbo FAST! and The Mr. Peabody and Sherman Show. We’re also disappointed to see Ash vs. Evil Dead leave Netflix, especially since Evil Dead Rise is hitting theaters later this month. But the biggest departure of the month may be New Girl, a hit sitcom that was among the most popular shows on the service.
