Due to the epidemic in California, the new film "The Gray Man" of "Captain America" ​​was postponed

Netflix's film "The Gray Man" brings together "Captain America" ​​Chris Evans, "Deadpool", Ryan Gosling, Ana de Armas and others. According to the original plan, the film will start shooting in January next year. However, considering the recent worsening epidemic situation in California, the crew decided to postpone the start of shooting.

Although the California government has decided to grant a very good tax reduction policy to films shot in California, the menacing epidemic still deterred many crews and pressed the pause button. It is understood that Netflix and the film's creators, the Russo brothers, cost the film $200 million, and this is also one of the most expensive films in Netflix's history. Before this, director James Gray had participated in the preparation of this project, and even Brad Pitt had been the leading actor, but because the scheduled director and starring schedule did not match, the project has been stagnant. Until the end, Sony gave up the project and sold it to Netflix. It is understood that Netflix is ​​very optimistic about this film.

The novel "Gray Man" was published in 2009 by Mark Greene. It has received rave reviews in the United States since its publication. The protagonist of the novel, Kurt Gentry, is a former CIA agent with extraordinary wisdom and agility. "Gray Man" is his nickname. But he later became a hired killer. His extraordinary ability became a thorn in the eyes of a group. Once when performing a mission in the Middle East, Kurt Gentry was originally waiting for a strong rescue team, but unexpectedly, he became the target of the rescue team.

There are two sequels to "The Gray Man", "Target" and "Thriller". If the first one is successful, it is only natural to start filming the sequel. In the plan, Netflix intends to make it into a series of films of "007" level. At present, there is no specific release schedule for the film.
