Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans are set to reunite in a new movie called Project Artemis directed by Jason Bateman. The history between Johansson and Evans runs deep, as the two first starred together in the 2004 film The Perfect Score and reunited for The Nanny Diaries in 2007. Now, both actors are best known for their respective roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – Natasha Romanoff a.k.a Black Widow and Steve Rogers a.k.a. Captain America. The characters shared the screen for a total of six movies – two Captain America films and all four Avengers flicks.

Johansson, on the other hand, made her final MCU appearance as the star of last year's Black Widow and she has been lining up numerous prospects since then.
