Chris Evans has been close with Scarlett Johansson for more than 20 years, and the way he describes her says it all. In his tribute for the 2025 Time 100 list, Captain America wrote about Black Widow with a phrase no one expected: he called her his “older sister”, his older sister. What makes the detail special: Evans is 43 and Johansson 40. He is three years older. 🤯

It all started in Vancouver, in the early 2000s, when the two were filming ‘The Perfect Score’ together. Evans was struck from day one by her maturity: “wise beyond her years”, wise beyond her age, he said in Variety. Since then they have shared the set in at least seven films, including five in the MCU, and built one of Hollywood’s strongest friendships. In 2023 they even took a road trip together to Los Angeles to visit Jeremy Renner while he was recovering from his accident. 🚗

It’s not on-screen chemistry. It’s a real bond, the kind that is built on film sets and survives the years of fame.
