There are obviously massive spoilers ahead for Ghosted!

Ever since Chris Evans said goodbye to the iconic role of Captain America in 2019, he's given us a slew of movies where he's just....having fun.

His latest movie, Ghosted, marks his return to romcoms, which as fans of bangers like What's Your Number and The Nanny Diaries know, is a blessing.

What truly steals hearts in Ghosted isn't Chris's long-ass eyelashes and soft-ass smile. I can't even say it's Ana de Armas' delightful turn as an action star.

It's the full-on Captain America: Winter Soldier reunion right in the middle of the freaking movie!!!

Evans told Entertainment Weekly that while he normally hates asking his friends to do cameos, "[Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie are] old buddies, so it just kind of feels good. It's like when your buddy does pick you up from the airport, you're like, 'Thanks, man. Thanks for showing up.'"

This all kicks off because, at this point in the movie, Ana and Chris are sick of each other. Her mission's a bust because of him, and he can't believe she's a spy instead of an art curator. Ana arranges for a contact (and ex-lover) to get Chris safely out of the country and back home — this time, a mutual ghosting — but a barrage of assassins scurry out of the woodwork before they can part ways.

(Yes, I know their character names are Cole and Sadie respectively, but let's be honest, no one will remember that in the wake of these cameos.)

First, comes Anthony Mackie, who kills the contact, and after telling them he's "The Grandson of Sam" (Wilson), gets jumped by none other than...

John Cho, aka The Leopard, who is not in the MCU, but I'm taking this as a sign he should be.

Anthony Mackie brags he's the best bounty hunter alive

But John Cho does play Spike Speigel in Netflix's Cowboy Bebop, so he is, in fact, the best bounty hunter.

Then, comes Sebastian Stan, rising from the backseat of their getaway vehicle like an amnesiac super soldier fresh out of cryosleep to snap John Cho's neck.

And at first, it seems Sebastian has everything under control, that is until he makes them switch vehicles and gets run over by none other than Anthony Mackie in a truck.

Chris and Ana obviously escape Anthony's clutches after he face-plants right next to the body of his dear, departed Sebastian, but let me take this moment to say: May the Falcon (now Captain America) and Winter Soldier rivalry never ends.

The cherry on top of this delectable MCU sundae? Ryan Reynolds, aka Deadpool, cameos near the end of the movie as another one of Ana's ex-lovers.
