Four years ago, Ryan Gosling<\/a> starred in a Russo Brothers<\/a>-directed film, The Gray Man<\/a>. Released on Netflix in July 2022, Gosling plays Sierra Six, an elite black ops officer on the run after he obtains a hard drive that contains proof of corruption from one of the CIA officers. Now, after receiving praise from audiences since its release, the Russo Brothers give a disappointing update on The Gray Man’s future.<\/p>\n

In 2022, it was announced that The Gray Man<\/a> would receive both a sequel and a spin-off film on Netflix<\/a> following its strong streaming debut. The action thriller landed at #1 on Netflix’s Top 10 English Movies charts and remained there for six weeks. As of this writing, the film holds a high audience score of 90%, but generated a low critics’ score of 46% on Rotten Tomatoes. Directed by the Russo Brothers, The Gray Man marked their second feature film after Avengers: Endgame<\/a>. The movie features a star-studded cast, starring alongside Gosling, including Chris Evans<\/a> <\/a>(Captain America<\/a>), Ana de Armas<\/a> (Ballerina<\/a>), Billy Bob Thornton<\/a> (Armageddon<\/a>), Jessica Henwick (Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery<\/a>), Reg\u00e9-Jean Page (Bridgerton<\/a>), Wagner Moura<\/a> (Civil War<\/a>), and Julia Butters (Freakier Friday<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Updates on the sequel to The Gray Man have been scarce since the 2022 announcement. In 2023, the Russo Brothers told Collider<\/a> they were still working on the script and were “hard at work” to bring the follow-up film to life. A few months later, Head of Netflix film, Scott Stuber, gave Collider a vague response on the sequel’s future, saying “that’s a maybe.”<\/a> Now, in an interview with Screen Rant<\/a>, the Russo Brothers revealed that there isn’t “any momentum news right now” for The Gray Man’s sequel; however, they shared that there are people “still thinking about it.”<\/p>\n

What Are The Russo Brothers Currently Working On?<\/p>\n

The Russo Brothers are currently working on Avengers: Doomsday<\/a>, set to release in December 2026. While Gosling isn’t part of this feature, Evans is reprising his role as Captain America<\/a> in this superhero film. Production began back in March 2025 and filming wrapped in September 2025<\/a>. Marvel Studios released a live “Doomsday Clock” countdown to the film’s release and four teaser trailers, first shown exclusively<\/a> during screenings of Avatar: Fire and Ash<\/a> and later published on social media. The Russo Brothers are also set to direct Avengers: Secret Wars<\/a>, scheduled for release in 2027.<\/p>\n

The Gray Man is available to stream on Netflix. Follow Collider to stay up to date with the latest updates.<\/p>\n
