20 Upcoming Netflix Originals You NEED To Know About
12. The Gray Man
Netflix is looking to massively expand its war chest of franchisable blockbuster films in the coming years, and one of their biggest upcoming bets will be The Gray Man.
Directed by the Russo brothers and written by their regular MCU collaborators Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, the globe-trotting action-thriller stars Ryan Gosling as veteran CIA operative Court Gentry, who after being betrayed from within the agency is hunted down by a former colleague, Lloyd Hansen (Chris Evans).
On top of this, the supporting cast includes Ana de Armas, Jessica Henwick, Rege-Jean Page, Billy Bob Thornton, Alfre Wodard, and Michael Gandolfini, which in conjunction with a stonking $200 million budget certainly sets expectations high.
Reports from reliable leaker Big Screen Leaks suggest the film is in good shape as it awaits release, and if it doesn't simply settle for being a generically watchable tentpole in the vein of Red Notice, this could become a true pop-culture phenomenon for Netflix.
