First Look: Chris Evans And Ryan Gosling Play Spy Games In The Gray Man
The Netflix spy thriller is helmed by Avengers Endgame's Anthony and Joe Russo.
Who will win in a gun fight – Chris Evans or Ryan Gosling?
We’ll find out on July 22 when Netflix drops The Gray Man, and the streamer has shared a few images from the big-budget spy thriller from directors Anthony and Joe Russo, the guys behind a little arthouse movie called Avengers: Endgame,
How big a budget, you wonder?
Try US$200 million (S$276 mil), the same price tag as last year’s Red Notice. (Don’t read too much into that number: if you’ve read Edward Jay Epstein’s The Hollywood Economist, the movie probably costs less than that after tax incentives and cash rebates.)
Based on Mark Greaney’s 10-book series, The Gray Man tells the story of Court Gentry (Ryan Gosling), a freelance assassin and ex-CIA agent who is hunted across the globe by Lloyd Hansen (Chris Evans), a former colleague of Gentry’s at the CIA.
Anthony Russo has described The Gray Man as “a real mano-a-mano between those two great actors who represent two different versions of the CIA, in what it can be, and what it can do.”
The movie also stars Ana de Armas, Jessica Henwick, Wagner Moura, Billy Bob Thornton, Alfre Woodard, and Bridgerton breakout Regé-Jean Page.
