Global streaming giant Netflix's The Gray Man is gearing up for a grand premiere on July 22 and has been directed by Avengers: Endgame fame Anthony and Joe Russo. The highly-anticipated action thriller film based on the 2009 novel of the same name by Mark Greaney has a screenplay written by Joe Russo, Christopher Markus, and Stephen McFeely and is reportedly the most expensive film ever made by Netflix with a production budget estimated to be around $200 million. Promotions for The Gray Man kicked off a few days back after an intense and high-octane trailer was released that gave a glimpse at the stars of the upcoming film, which has been produced by the Russo brothers' company, AGBO, in association with Roth/Kirschenbaum Films.
In that light, Netflix surprised fans on Tuesday evening by releasing an action-packed exclusive clip from The Gray Man featured on the lead stars, Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans. The sneak peek shows a confrontation between the two Hollywood superstars, who go one on one against each other. In The Gray Man exclusive clip, we see Evans gain an advantage over Gosling by holding him at gunpoint before the latter pulls off the clip of a hand grenade and the two then make a run for their lives. Despite managing to escape at the nick of time, Evans, who catches up with a limping Gosling, is shot with a tranquilizer by Ana de Armas.
The Gray Man has generated massive interest among fans in India as it will see two-time National Award-winning Tamil actor Dhanush making an appearance in a pivotal role. The excitement around Dhanush's role in the film has been huge after a still featuring the actor was unveiled sometime back apart from making an appearance in the trailer released a few days back. The official synopsis for the film reads as follows: "THE GRAY MAN is CIA operative Court Gentry (Ryan Gosling), aka, Sierra Six. Plucked from a federal penitentiary and recruited by his handler, Donald Fitzroy (Billy Bob Thornton), Gentry was once a highly-skilled, Agency-sanctioned merchant of death. But now the tables have turned and Six is the target, hunted across the globe by Lloyd Hansen (Chris Evans), a former cohort at the CIA, who will stop at nothing to take him out. Agent Dani Miranda (Ana de Armas) has his back. He’ll need it."
