An adaption of Greaney's novel was originally
announced in 2011, with James Gray set to direct
Brad Pitt, and later Charlize Theron in a gender-
swapped role, though neither version ever came
to fruition. The property lingered in
development hell until July 2020, when it was
announced the Russo brothers would direct, with
both Gosling and Evans attached to star. Filming
began in Los Angeles in March 2021, before
wrapping in Prague that July. With a production
budget of $200 million, it is among the most
expensive films made by Digital Media .
The Gray Man began a limited theatrical release on July 15
, 2022 followed by its digital release on Netflix on July 22.
It received mixed reviews from critics with praise for the
ensemble cast, but criticism toward the "clichéd script
and breakneck pacing.
