The Big Picture When The Gray Man had a small theatrical release before premiering on Netflix last year, the movie proved that the studio was confident about the action-packed thriller directed by Joe and Anthony Russo.

"When we talk about it, the advantage we have is we have incredible actors; they're watchable, they're unique. So, you know, Joe and Anthony have talked about, 'If we go back to it, how do we spend time with this guy, Ryan Gosling,' who I think is incredible. I just watch what he's doing right now, and I don't know if there's a better actor out there in terms of his range and what he's accomplishing.
When Will 'The Gray Man 2' Come Out If It Happens? Close In The Gray Man, Gosling portrays Courtland Gentry, a man imprisoned for killing his father while protecting his brother when he was a minor.
