A big one for Netflix here. Like, their biggest thus far. Take a look at the official trailer that’s arrived for The Gray Man, an action-thriller starring Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Billy Bob Thornton, and more.
Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, best known for their Marvel films (Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame), The Gray Man has Gosling playing CIA operative Court Gentry, who finds himself a target and placed in the sights of a psychopathic former CIA cohort, Lloyd Hansen (Evans). Ana de Armas plays Agent Dani Miranda, who has Gentry’s back, and Thornton plays Donald Fitzroy, Gentry’s handler.
With a budget that’s past the $US200 million range, this tops Red Notice as Netflix’s most expensive film to date – and it certainly looks pricey. Apart from the big stars, the film appears to be boasting some massive action sequences in a globe-trotting production that saw filming take place in California, Prague in the Czech Republic, and the Château de Chantilly in France.
More on Screen Realm:
The film is an adaptation of Mark Greaney’s novel of the same name. There are 10 books in Greaney’s series, so if this brings Netflix massive viewing numbers and a jump in subscribers, don’t be surprised to see a Gosling-led franchise unfold.
The Gray Man, also starring Jessica Henwick, Regé-Jean Page, Wagner Moura, Dhanush, Alfre Woodard, Julia Butters, Eme Ikwuakor, and Scott Haze, will be hitting select cinemas on July 14th and landing on Netflix on July 22nd.
