- This is Ana de Armas.
- And I'm Chris Evans
and this is the Wired Auto Complete Interview.
[upbeat music]
I'm Chris Evans.
[laughs softly]
I'm Chris Evans.
- I'm Chris Evans.
Ready? - Ready. I can't wait.
- Is Chris Evans beard real?
- Yes, it is.
Believe it or not,
CGI budget just couldn't afford it, so I grew it myself.
- Is Chris Evans--
Playing Gene Kelly? - Playing Gene Kelly?
- Are you gonna do that?
- I hope so.
It's not a Gene biopic,
he specifically didn't want a biopic.
It's almost like "Almost Famous".
How "Almost Famous" isn't about a band,
it's about a boy that loves a band.
So, Gene is more than an ancillary character
but we're still tweaking it.
I would love to, though.
- I wanna see that.
Is Chris Evans the killer in "Knives Out"?
- Well, yeah. - Well you've seen the movie.
Right? - we've all seen it.
It's so funny, for a split second.
I was like-- - Am I?
- Oh no, that came out years ago.
We can all say.
Yes.
- Yes, he is. Nasty.
- That's right.
Well, in "Ghosted" we actually get to like each other.
- Yeah.
- You know, in films we've done, we're very adversarial.
So, for this movie we actually get
to kind of enjoy each other's company.
Well, it's kind of like the like-hate-like thing again,
you know? - Yeah.
I think like, as in real life
our relationship has evolved.
Here we finally get to have a good time together.
- Yeah.
- Not trying to kill each other.
[Chris laughs]
Not hating each other.
We kiss.
- Yeah, we do.
- And the beard is real.
Is Chris Evans--
- Dad a dentist?
He is a dentist.
Which, you know--
- I made an appointment.
- I mean, no longer.
He's retired now, but-- - Oh.
- He was my dentist growing up.
You know, I had braces for a long time.
- Your dad punished you with braces.
- Trust me.
The orthodontics saved me. - To keep you quiet.
- Yeah, truly.
Was Chris Evans--
- Was Chris Evans a child actor?
- Not a professional child actor.
I mean, I did plays, you know.
- That is being an actor.
- I guess, I mean. - Yeah.
- I imagine it more being like someone who's actually
on sets, getting paid.
- You don't need to get paid to get an actor.
Trust me.
- Then I guess I was a little, you know, kid actor.
Yeah.
[Ana harmonizing]
Here we go.
Is Ana De Armas a Bond girl?
- Yeah, I'm a Bond girl.
I didn't have a romantic story with Bond,
which is usually what happens
but I am a Bond girl in "No Time to Die".
And it was one of the most wonderful experiences
I've ever had on set.
I love that movie and character. Yeah.
- She killed it. Stole the movie.
- [Interviewer] Do you have someone who you would want
to be the next Bond?
- I'll do it.
- Oh, do you?
- I thought you were gonna say the next Bond girl.
The joke would've been funnier then.
Then you just said Bond.
That's not funny. - Oh man, I don't know.
I think Paul Mescal should be the one.
- Paul Mescal is great.
I'm a big Aaron Taylor-Johnson guy.
Does Ana de Armas-- - Know martial arts?
I pretend to know martial arts, but no,
I mean I've done some boxing or kickboxing, but not enough.
Those are disciplines that require a lot of time
and years of study and training and all of that.
And I have not done that.
- Is Ana De Armas...
Whoops.
- Cuban. - Cuban.
- Am I Cuban? [fingers snapping]

[laughing]
[speaking in foreign language]

lived there until I was 18 years old
and then I moved to Madrid
and I still have my family there
and my home, and I miss it every day.
I love my country.
Yeah.

- You haven't seen "John Wick"?
- The last one, no.
Are you in it?
- No, I'm not.
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not in "John Wick".
I wish because I do love this franchise so much.
That's why I was so excited
and so happy to be called for the follow up in "Ballerina".
It's a spin-off of "John Wick"
and it happens between "John Wick" 3 and 4.
In "2024", Ballerina is coming out and I'm so excited.
[laughing]
How did Chris Evans get cast as Captain America?
- Luck.
They wanted me to come in and read
and I was a little apprehensive.
It was a back and forth.
It was a little bit of a dance.
It was something I was really nervous about doing
and luckily they were really good people
in my corner who kept nudging me.
Kevin Feige and Robert
and a lot of great people kind of talked me into it
and best decision in my life.
I had to sneeze that whole answer and it never came.
So, I'm sorry if it seemed like my head was somewhere else.
- You wanna sneeze now?
- No, it's gone now.
- How did Chris Evans and Scarlet Johansson meet?
- Meet? We met on the set of "Perfect Score".
We were both really young, you know,
I think after that movie she went off
to do "Lost in Translation"
and her whole world changed.
But yeah, we've known each other a really long time
and she's one of my dearest friends.
We've done how many films?
I mean all the Marvel movies.
We've done eight movies together?
- This, I'm not liking this.
