Netflix has released three character posters for their upcoming epic espionage thriller The Grey Man. This is the next big movie from Joe and Anthony Russo and the posters put the spotlight on Chris Evans, Ryan Gosling, and Ana de Armas.
The Gray Man is based on the best-selling book series by Mark Greaney, and Gosling takes on the role of Court Gentry, aka Sierra Six, a highly-skilled CIA black ops mercenary. When Six accidentally uncovers incriminating secrets about Agent Lloyd Hanson (Evans), a former colleague with psychopathic tendencies, Hanson puts a bounty on his head and launches a global manhunt led by international assassins.

Billy Bob Thorton also stars in the film as Six’s handler Donald Fitzroy, and de Armas takes on the role of Agent Dani Miranda, a CIA operative who has Six’s back. The rest of the cast includes Rege-Jean Page, Jessica Henwick, Dhanush, Wagner Moura, Julia Butters, Elme Ikwuakor, Michael Gandolfini, Sam Lerner, Robert Kazinsky, and Alfre Woodard.
This is a huge film project for Netflix as they spent over $200 million dollars on the movie! Hopefully it pays off for them because Netflix is going through some rough times right now and they have been cancelling all kinds of projects.
Anthony Russo previously talked about the film saying: “We’re big fans of the spy genre, and we’re always looking for ways of how to twist it, or supercharge it, or push it into areas that feel fresh. There was a great idea at the center of this book, where it’s not just about being a spy, but being the most extreme version of one, where you have to hide your own identity — and yourself.”
The screenplay for the film was written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, who previously worked on Thor: The Dark World, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, along with all three Captain America films.
The Gray Man will hit theaters on July 15th and make its global premiere on Netflix on July 22nd.
