Let me say it again: Regé-Jean Page, Ryan Gosling, and Chris Evans are going to act together. In one movie.
Who would have thought of such pairings? Apparently, the Russo Brothers’! Yeap, the same Joe and Anthony Russo that directed the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)’, ‘Captain America: Civil War (2016)’, ‘Avengers: Infinity War (2018)’, and ‘Avengers: Endgame (2019)’.

This time around, the Russo Brothers are bringing Chris Evans in for a high stakes action thriller titled ‘The Gray Man’, starring Ryan Gosling and alongside Bridgerton’s very own Duke of Hastings, Regé-Jean Page. While Jean Page’s character has yet to be revealed, Gosling will play the freelance assassin and former CIA operative Court Gentry. The movie, ‘The Gray Man’ is an adaptation of Mark Greaney’s 2009 novel of the same name. The novel follows Gentry, who is on a mission across Europe to rescue his handler, Sir Donald Fitzroy, and his family in Normandy, France from Lloyd (to be played by Evans). Lloyd is a member of a massive French corporation who wants Gentry terminated in order to shepherd a billion-dollar deal for oil interests in Nigeria, where its president, in turn, wants Gentry dead for the assassination of his brother. There are 10 different books in the series, but the upcoming film is said to be taken from the debut novel by Greaney.

Despite not having a premiere date set, the movie is said to begin filming in a couple of weeks in Los Angeles. This will be Netflix’s biggest-budget feature in its history, having taken over after it’s development at Sony fell through. The Netflix movie will also bring in Ana De Armas (‘Blade Runner 2049’, ‘No Time To Die’), Alfre Woodard (’12 Years A Slave’, ‘The Lion King’), Billy Bob Thornton (‘Fargo’, ‘Goliath’), Jessica Henwick (‘Game of Thrones’, ‘Marvel’s Iron Fist’), Wagner Moura (‘Elysium’, ‘Narcos’), Dhanush (‘Maari’, ‘Asuran’) and Julia Butters (‘American Housewife’, ‘Once Upon A Time In…Hollywood’).
