After her praised romantic drama “Past Lives,” writer/director Celine Song introduces “Materialists.” This romantic comedy stars Chris Evans, Dakota Johnson, and Pedro Pascal as three New Yorkers on a quest for love in a cynical world.

In the film, Johnson plays Lucy, a matchmaker who connects affluent clients with potential partners based on factors like wealth, political views, and stature. She encounters Harry (Pascal), a charismatic finance worker, whom she deems a “unicorn” — the ideal match for her female clients. Nonetheless, when he invites her out, her focus shifts to John (Chris Evans), her first love, an enthusiastic but struggling actor who works as a catering waiter.

The clash between love and wealth has been a crucial theme in romantic stories since the Regency period of Jane Austen and “Bridgerton.” In Manhattan, these tensions escalate to a street altercation between John and Lucy. Mashable Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko interviewed “Materialists” leads Chris Evans and Dakota Johnson about filming such a gripping scene in New York City.

They also talked about another pivotal moment in John and Lucy’s relationship. He knows her preferred drinks: a beer and a Coke. What do these stars like to order at the bar? Tune in to discover!

“Materialists” premieres in theaters on June 13.
