The first film required a budget of $200 million to produce, making it the most expensive and ambitious Netflix feature yet, though Netflix’s budget isn’t necessarily comparable to the budget of companies like Disney. Notably, it also saw a limited theatrical release a week before its Netflix debut.

The Russos will produce with AGBO’s Mike Larocca and Roth Kirschenbaum Films’ Joe Roth and Jeffrey Kirschenbaum.

Despite many changes from the source material, the gray man adapts Mark Greaney’s 2009 spy thriller of the same name.

The Netflix movie sequel could adapt the second book in the long-running book series with up to ten installments starting in 2022 and another slated for a 2023 release.

Here is the synopsis for the second book titled On Target.

Court Gentry, (Gosling), aka the Gray Man, is back, and once again on the run from old friends and enemies. Four years ago, Gentry was betrayed by his CIA handlers. Now an old comrade, Russian arms dealer Sidorenko, returns to force him to carry out a mission against his will: to kill Sudan’s President Abboud, the alleged trigger of the Darfur genocide. But the CIA has plans of its own for Abboud. With his ruthless employers on one side, his former friends blackmailers on the other, and a doomed mission ahead, Gentry would kill just to get out of this alive.

Naturally, the first movie was based on the source material and the second one will be no exception, but we know at least the general direction of the story.

The Russos commented:

“The sequel will be inspired by Mark Greaney’s novel. Translating from one medium to another often requires interpretation, but we have an incredible amount of source material for an incredible offering. We’ll build on that for the sequel.”
