Ryan Gosling is returning as Sierra Six, as Netflix officially announces The Gray Man 2 is happening. After working with Marvel Studios for several years and making some of the biggest movies of all time, the Russo brothers turned their directing focus elsewhere. This eventually led to making their long-in-the-works adaptation of The Gray Man. The 2022 Netflix movie based on the novel by Mark Greaney stars Ryan Gosling as Sierra Six, a skilled assassin for the CIA who uncovers the dark truth about who he works for, turning the agency against him. The Gray Man includes Chris Evans' Lloyd Hansen hunting Six down, and Six's uneasy partnership with Dani Miranda (Ana de Armas).
Touted as Netflix's most expensive movie to date, there has been a lot of attention given to The Gray Man. Reviews for the Russo Brothers' latest movie have not been great, as the mixed 48% Critic Rating on Rotten Tomatoes indicates. However, their involvement and the star power of Gosling, Evans, and de Armas — as well as Netflix's large subscriber base — gave the movie a pathway to success. This was always the hope as The Gray Man's ending leaves room for sequels and spinoffs as long as Netflix was happy with how the movie performed.
