He’s survived an airplane crash, a shoot-out in the streets of Prague, and a chase along the roof of an exploding tram, but now the Gray Man will face his greatest mission yet — a sequel. Fresh off a formidable opening weekend that saw the film hit the top streaming spot in 84 countries, Ryan Gosling and Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo are returning to take The Gray Man on another assignment. And that’s not all: The series is set to go full cinematic universe, with a spin-off also in the works. 

“I can’t get too specific about where we see the character going in the next movie because it’s so early days, but we designed a big ensemble in this film because we love ensemble storytelling,” Anthony Russo told Tudum ahead of the sequel’s announcement. “Having a bunch of interesting characters creates a lot of possibilities in terms of where you’re gonna go in future storytelling, because there’s so many compelling characters played by so many compelling actors and they’re all worth further exploration.”

There’s more than enough source material for an ongoing Gray Man franchise: Creator Mark Greaney has written 11 novels featuring protagonist Sierra Six, aka the Gray Man, with a 12th on the way next year. Stephen McFeely, who co-wrote The Gray Man and the Russos’ Captain America and Avengers films, is working on the script for The Gray Man 2.

As for the spin-off, Deadpool and Spiderhead scribes Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese are on the case, working on a premise as top secret as the Gray Man’s dental records. 

Keep your eyes peeled for more news as the world of Sierra Six continues to expand.  

The Gray Man is streaming on Netflix right now.
