Just like any board game, Hungry Hungry Hippo also lakes a proper plot. While it seems to be a piece of good news, actually it is not. The filmmakers can actually do whatever they want to do as the storyline goes. However, they have to keep the essence of the original game. After the Marvel movie, Avengers: Endgame, Knives Out was the first big film for Evans. Recently, the 41-year-old actor appeared in the film titled Ghosted, along with Ana de Armas.
