Will There Be a Sequel to ‘The Gray Man?’Home > Entertainment > MoviesSource: Netflix Netflix Spent $200 Million on The Gray Man but Did It Get Enough Viewers for a Sequel By Mustafa GatollariJul. 24 2022, Published 9:32 a.m. ET Netflix plunked down a fat stack of cash for The Gray Man: $200 million, making it the second most expensive film of 2022 (Thor: Love and Thunder cost $250 million) so it's safe to assume that the streaming service has some high expectations for the film based on Mark Greaney's series of books, and possibly a sequel down the line.Article continues below advertisement Will there be a sequel to ' The Gray Man ' There's no shortage of source material: Greaney's published a bunch of books featuring The Gray Man character, Court Gentry, who is a former CIA operative who's become an assassin for hire. On paper, the film seems like a safe bet: it stars both Chris Evans, who is known worldwide for helping launch the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the stratosphere as Captain America, and Ryan Gosling, a two-time Oscar nominee who's also a globally recognized leading man. The movie also stars Ana de Armas who's generating ridiculous buzz for his role as Norma Jeane, aka Marilyn Monroe in the biopic about the actress' life, Blonde. She also starred opposite Daniel Craig in No Time to Die and received serious praise for her leading roles in Knives Out and No Time to Die.Article continues below advertisementSource: Netflix On top of all that, The Gray Man was directed by The Russo Brothers, Joe and Anthony, the men responsible for a lot of Marvel's astronomical success, chief among them Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. So you've got top-tier talent and directors who have a proven track record of making multi-part films that fans adore and pay good money to see.Article continues below advertisement Will the same happen with The Gray Man, though? Netflix hasn't announced whether or not there's going to be a sequel, and there's the fact that the film is getting middling reviews, Rotten Tomatoes has the flick listed as certifiably rotten with a 50% score, with the critics' consensus stating: "The Gray Man has the star-studded outline of an entertaining action thriller, but it's filled in with lukewarm leftovers from far better films." The Gray Man is a Pure Fun Action Movie! Ryan Gosling definitely fit the 007 role and Chris Evans play his character as this crazy funny physho very well. 10/10 definitely worth a watch if you love action movie ! Hope there's a sequel or something! @Russo_Brothers #TheGrayMan pic.twitter.com/0KnFce5Z6q— nonsensefans (@_peteachu_) July 22, 2022 Source: Twitter @_peteachu_Article continues below advertisement But audiences seem to disagree on the site: tons of "verified ratings" average out to a 90% viewer score, and the flick has been on Netflix's Top 10 in terms of viewership popularity since its debut. So what does this mean for its chances of a sequel? It basically all boils down to how many people watch it to make the streaming service want to green light another flick. Red Notice, which stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot, was panned by critics and has an even lower score on RT, however, 92% of audiences seem to love the flick. The movie also had an identical budget to The Gray Man, and it's already been announced there would be another entry in the Red Notice series for Netflix.Article continues below advertisement Saw the gray man today, it was a fun action movie with a sequel hook ending that I hope gets expanded upon.

And when it comes to subscriptions, they're going to want to hold onto those after losing some 1 million users to Disney+.Article continues below advertisement Does ' The Gray Man' have a post-credits scene We all know the Russo brothers love themselves a good post-credits scene, but does The Gray Man have one?
