Chris Evans and Ryan Gosling are set to star in a Netflix thriller from Joe and Anthony Russo, the brothers who helmed four highly successful Marvel films, including "Avengers: Endgame" and "Avengers: Infinity War".
The brothers' new project is titled "The Gray Man" and it's based on a series of best sellers from Mark Greaney. The film reportedly has secured a $200 million budget, and it's intended to be the start of a new blockbuster franchise for the streaming service. Joe Russo wrote the script alongside "Endgame" scribes Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.
The titular Grey Man is Court Gentry (Gosling), an assassin, former CIA operative and a legend in the covert realm, who is pursued by an old colleague, now nemesis, Lloyd Hansen (Evans). The Russos have high hopes for this potential film series according to Joe Russo:
"The idea is to create a franchise and build out a whole universe. We have all committed to the first movie and that’s got to be great to get us to the second movie. These are master assassins and Gosling’s character gets burned by the CIA and Evans’ character has to hunt him down.
The intention is for it to be competitive with any theatrical, and the ability to do with with Gosling and Evans is a dream for us. The idea is to create a franchise and build out a whole universe, with Ryan at the center of it. We have all committed to the first movie, and that’s got to be great to get us to the second movie"
