Ana De Armas Joins Ryan Gosling & Chris Evans in Netflix Big-Budget ‘The Gray Man’

Ana De Armas has officially joined the Netflix financially most ambitious film ever, “The Gray Man,” She will star opposite the already announced Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans. Russo brothers are directing the big-budget action thriller film which reportedly has a budget of 200 million dollars.

The Russo’s AGBO is producing, and the script is written by Joe Russo, with a polish by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, who scripted the Russo-directed Captain America and Avengers films and who are Co-Presidents of Story at AGBO. It is based on the 2009 Mark Greaney novel published in 2009 by Jove Books that introduced the Gray Man, a freelance assassin and former CIA operative named Court Gentry.

The action-thriller is a deadly duel between killers as Gentry (Gosling) is hunted across the globe by Lloyd Hansen (Evans), a former cohort of Gentry at the CIA. The Gray Man turned into a bestselling book series, and the expectation is that Gosling will continue in multiple installments. The project was developed years back at New Regency as a Brad Pitt/James Gray vehicle, but it stalled. The Russos have quietly been developing it for years.

The film will be produced by AGBO’s the Russo Brothers and Mike Larocca, along with Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum for Roth Kirschenbaum. They are eyeing a January start date in Los Angeles with international locations being finalized.

De Armas has recently starred in the Netflix film Wasp Network and She will be seen in the highly anticipated upcoming James Bond film "No Time to Die."

The Russo Brothers AGBO, recently produced the action-thriller film Extraction with Chris Hemsworth, Golshifteh Farahani and Randeep Hooda became the most-watched Netflix original movie of all time. A sequel is in the works with Sam Hargrave returning as director and Joe Russo writing the script.
