Netflix took this decision to encourage the public to watch films in cinemas, in order to enjoy the movie experience filled with action and excitement in cinemas especially after Ministry of Health decsion to ease COVID-19 restrictions.

“ The Gray Man” which housed a notable cast is one of the massive productions of Netflix, having a budget of US$200 million, the movie is co-produced by AGBO. 

The film is inspired by the first book of “The Gray Man” series by Mark Grenny, which was published in 2009 and released six books, written by Joe Russo, Christopher Marcus, and Stephen McFeely.

The spy movie brings together brothers Joe and Anthony Russo, directors of the Avengers series.

Director Anthony Russo confirmed that the selection of the film cast is one of the most important and critical matters in any work, despite the large number of actors participating in the work.

He added the audience had to watch the movie on the cinema screens first, in order to see the details of the characters clearly.

Meanwhile, Ross asserted “The Gray Man” is an incredibly mysterious character with a top-secret past. He is essentially a ghost, whose job is to disappear in plain sight, through CIA agent Kurt Gentry – played by Ryan Gosling – known as Sierra Six.

He is pulled out of a federal prison and recruited by his boss, Donald Fitzroy – played by Billy Bob Thornton – a highly skilled, CIA-certified mercenary killer, but the tables turn as he becomes the target, and is pursued by Lloyd Hansen. 

Chris Evans is a worldwide ex-CIA colleague who will stop at nothing to kill him, with the help of agent Danny Miranda (Ana de Armas) protecting his back.

Russo stated that the film is likely to have other parts, because the work is part of a series, and that he will not answer all the questions in this film, but will leave some possibilities open for future works.

He added the audience can follow other characters in the upcoming parts.

The movie was filmed between the Czech Republic, France and the US. Filming began from March 15 to July 22, 2021, and was supposed to start in January 2020. But with the spread of the coronavirus, filming was postponed to 2021 in Long Beach Los Angeles.
