screenrant.com:

Ryan Gosling reveals he'd be open to turning his upcoming Netflix movie, The Gray Man, into a franchise. Based on the book series of the same name by Mark Greaney, Netflix's The Gray Man sees Gosling team up with directing duo Anthony and Joe Russo. The film tells the story of former CIA operative Court Gentry, a.k.a. Sierra Six, who finds himself on the run from his psychopathic ex-colleague, Lloyd Hansen (Chris Evans), and a host of assassins after discovering dark agency secrets.

While much remains unknown about the upcoming action film, Netflix's 2022 Movie Preview video showed off the first footage of the highly anticipated project. The footage sees Gosling fighting off assassins on top of a moving streetcar, and also gives audiences a first look at Evans' mustachioed antagonist. Recently released promotional images also provide a first look at The Gray Man's supporting cast, including Ana de Armas as Dani Miranda and Regé-Jean Page as Carmichael.

Check out Gosling's full comment below:

I loved making this film. I’d love to do it again. I’m hoping we can bump Six up to a name status at some point, just for his own sanity.
