Netflix has revealed the first look and release date for The Gray Man, a brand new movie from the duo behind Avengers: Endgame, the Russo brothers.
New images from the movie show Chris Evans and Ryan Gosling sporting some rather distracting mustaches, with Ana de Armas donning a white jacket emblazoned with different types of flowers as fireworks go off all around her. Color us intrigued. Netflix has also announced the movie's release date: it will reach cinemas on July 15 and make its global premiere on Netflix on July 22.
The Gray Man, based on the best-selling book series by Mark Greaney, stars Gosling as Court Gentry aka Sierra Six, a highly-skilled CIA black ops mercenary.
