The Russo Brothers have added three more actors to their wildly expensive Netflix spy movie, titled The Gray Man. Deadline first reported that Rege-Jean Page, Billy Bob Thornton, and Alfre Woodard has joined the growing cast. Page recently joined the cast of Paramount’s Dungeons & Dragons remake and has become a favorite to become the next James Bond as he’s getting international exposure due to his series Bridgerton.
The Gray Man is said to be Netflix’s most expensive original feature film with a budget over $200 million with a cast that already consists of Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans Ana De Armas, Wagner Moura, Jessica Henwick, Dhanush, and Julia Butters.
It’s script is based on the 2009 novel from author Mark Greaney which was adapted by the sibling directors with a polish from their MCU partners Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.
To those who lurk in the shadows, he’s known as the Gray Man. He is a legend in the covert realm, moving silently from job to job, accomplishing the impossible and then fading away. And he always hits his target. Always. But there are forces more lethal than Gentry in the world. Forces like money. And power. And there are men who hold these as the only currency worth fighting for. And in their eyes, Gentry has just outlived his usefulness. But Court Gentry is going to prove that, for him, there’s no gray area between killing for a living and killing to stay alive…
Filming was expected to take place in Los Angeles.
