Actor Dhanush is set for his next Hollywood project. He will be seen in directors Anthony and Joe Russo’s upcoming thriller, The Gray Man.
He will be joining actors Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jessica Henwick, Wagner Moura, and Julia Butters. The Gray Man is based on Mark Greaney’s 2009 novel of the same name. The Netflix film is reportedly budgeted at $200 million.
“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,” Anthony Russo told Deadline. Joe Russo said, “The intention is for it to be competitive with any theatrical, and the ability to do with with Gosling and Evans is a dream for us. The idea is to create a franchise and build out a whole universe, with Ryan at the centre of it.
