One year has passed since the release of “Ghosted” on Apple TV+, featuring the dynamic duo of Chris Evans and Ana de Armas. Its action-packed story blends romance, comedy, and adventure, and quickly became the platform’s most watched film debut.
Even now, it continues to hold its ground, maintaining an impressive #5 ranking among the best movies in Apple TV+’s catalog, according to FlixPatrol. It’s even surpassing recently added titles like “The Bloody Hundredth”, and it’s very close to outperforming Scorsese’s Oscar-nominated production “Killers of the Flower Moon”.
“Ghosted” stellar cast features outstanding performances by Adrien Brody, Mike Moh, Tate Donovan, and Amy Sedaris. Director Dexter Fletcher, known for his work on biopics, brought his expertise to the table once again.
Ghosted is the No. 5 most-watched movie on Apple TV+ globally
Despite contending with heavyweights like Leonardo DiCaprio, Joaquin Phoenix, and Mark Wahlberg, the romantic duo of “Ghosted” has solidified its fifth position as a favorite title for Apple TV+ users.

The movie’s success hinges on its captivating plot line. Chris Evans and Ana de Armas portray Cole and Sadie, two seemingly ordinary individuals whose typical date leads to an unexpected entanglement with the CIA’s pursuit of a deadly bioweapon.
Amid secret missions and battles with bounty hunters, the characters start to grow fond of each other. But with danger always lurking, they find themselves unable to fully embrace their romantic connection.
The story has risen to become one of Apple TV+’s top action films, despite facing initial criticism even before its platform debut. According to Deadline, in 2021, Scarlett Johansson was in advanced negotiations for the lead role, sparking hopes among Marvel fans. However, she had to exit the deal due to scheduling conflicts, leaving followers disappointed.
Ana de Armas stepped in as her replacement and proved to be a remarkable counterpart to “The Avengers” actor. This came as no surprise, given their previous on-screen chemistry in films like “Knives Out” and “The Gray Man”.
They’re also great collaborators, as evidenced by their commitment as executive producers for “Ghosted”. While there haven’t been any announcements about their collaborations on upcoming projects, we can certainly look forward to seeing them work together again in the future.
