Netflix finally announced this week that The Russo Brothers' highly-anticipated action-thriller The Gray Man will start streaming worldwide on July 22.
Its streaming launch will be preceded by a limited theatrical release on July 15.
The $200 million production boasts an all-star cast headlined by 2x Academy Award-nominee Ryan Gosling (Drive; The Nice Guys) as the titular former CIA operative-turned-freelance assassin.
Speaking on his casting, the Russos explain to Tudum, “The Gray Man is an incredibly mysterious character with a highly secretive past. In essence, he’s a ghost. A minimalist, [whose] job is to hide in plain sight. Kill when he needs to kill, and disappear. Ryan is exceptional at communicating volumes through a look or a gesture. Creating an interior life that translates in the most subtle and sublime ways. He also has fantastic control of his physicality. In essence, he is The Gray Man (minus the kill orders).”
Chris Evans (Captain America: The First Avenger; Avengers: Endgame) and Golden Globe-nominee Ana de Armas (Knives Out; No Time to Die) feature in the two other leading roles, with a supporting cast that includes Marvel alum Jessica Henwick (The Matrix 4; Iron Fist), Wagner Moura (Narcos; Sergio), Julia Butters (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood; American Housewife), South Indian superstar Dhanush (Raanjhanaa; Vada Chennai), Regé-Jean Page (Bridgerton; Dungeons & Dragons), Academy Award-nominee Alfre Woodard (Luke Cage; Captain America: Civil War), and Academy Award-winner Billy Bob Thornton (Monster's Ball; Fargo).
