The Apple TV+ film Ghosted starring Chris Evans and Ana de Armas features cameos from Evans' MCU co-stars, such as Ryan Reynolds and Sebastian Stan.
The Big Picture Even when properly used, a cameo takes the audience out of a given moment in a film. Alfred Hitchcock’s infamous cameos in the films that he directed were a winking nod to viewers that he was the real mastermind behind each adventure, and Bill Murray’s uproarious cameo in Zombieland suggested that the fictional world that the film existed in wasn’t much different than our own.
The issue with the film comes down to Evans himself; although Evans has shown in films like Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and Snowpiercer that he has more range as an actor than some may have thought, many of his post-Avengers: Endgame roles have struggled to distinguish him from Steve Rogers. A clever director like Rian Johnson weaponizes Evans’ charm, as Knives Out casts him against type as a greedy, selfish villain.
Although Mackie’s appearance at least adds a solid laugh to a largely unfunny film, Sebastian Stan’s role as another assassin attempting to track down Cole is even more distracting. Mackie has enough comedy experience to make his scene feel like a brief sidetrack, but another cameo from one of Evans’ MCU co-stars obliterates any attempts that the film had of standing on its own two legs.
