Following the immensely successful release of The Gray Man this weekend, where it debuted as the #1 movie in 92 countries, Netflix is cementing plans for the product to become a major spy franchise.
A sequel to The Gray Man, which is already a fan favourite with a 91% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, is now in development with star Ryan Gosling and directors Joe and Anthony Russo set to return. The Russos and AGBO’s Mike Larocca will produce along with Joe Roth and Jeffrey Kirschenbaum for Roth Kirschenbaum Films.
However bad news for those who were looking forward to seeing Dhanush return in the sequel. He won’t be any part of the sequel.Neither will Chris Evans who played the archvillain in The Gray Man.
The Gray Man co-writer Stephen McFeely (The Electric State, Avengers: Endgame, Captain America: Civil War) is writing the sequel.A spin-off film, written by acclaimed screenwriters Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese (Deadpool, Zombieland) is set to explore a different element of The Gray Man universe. The logline is being kept under wraps.
The Gray Man is based on the best-selling book series by Mark Greaney.
Talking about the development of the sequel, Joe and Anthony Russo shared, “The audience reaction to The Gray Man has been nothing short of phenomenal. We are so appreciative of the enthusiasm that fans across the world have had for this film. With so many amazing characters in the movie, we had always intended for the Gray Man to be part of an expanded universe, and we are thrilled that Netflix is announcing a sequel with Ryan, as well as a second script that we’re ex cited to talk about soon.”
Incidentally the Russo Brothers’ Extraction starring Chris Hemsworth has a sequel to be released on Netflix in 2023.
