The last time Chris Evans worked with the Russo Brothers was for the cinematic juggernaut that was Avengers: Endgame. It seems they won't be taking their foot off the gas with their new film, The Gray Man, being Netflix's biggest budget movie to date (coming in at around $200 million).
The film, which will also star Ryan Gosling, is meant to be the first in a new franchise based on a book series of the same name. The story will follow two killers across the world as they attempt to hunt each other down.
“The movie is a real mano a mano between those two great actors who represent two different versions of the CIA, in what it can be, and what it can do,” said Anthony Russo in an interview with Deadline.
While the Russo Brothers have been working with Marvel for a long time, many consider the gritty, spy-thriller-esque vibe of Captain America: The Winter Soldier to be a highlight of the franchise.
With two fantastic leading men combined with the Russo's experience in both big-budget blockbusters and espionage action films, it will be easy to keep this one on your radar.
