Just like the original book, Netflix’s The Gray Man’s eponymous character is Court Gentry, an ex-CIA agent who now earns a living as a mercenary. Ryan Gosling will bring him to life, while Chris Evans is playing Lloyd Hansen, Court’s former co-worker who has now been tasked to hunt him across the globe. Once upon a time, The Gray Man was a project being tackled by Ad Astra collaborators Brad Pitt and James Gray, but following their exit, it eventually made its way to the Russo Bros. The Gray Man was also once in development at Sony Pictures, but Netflix acquired it this past summer.
