Dhanush To Reprise His Role In Russo Brothers' 'The Gray Man' Sequel

Chennai, August 6 - Actor Dhanush made his Hollywood debut with Russo Brothers' spy action thriller The Gray Man. The movie premiered on Netflix on July 22 and scored fifth biggest opening weekend ever for Netflix. Earlier, the movie had a limited theatrical release on July 15 in the USA.

Satisfied with the result, Netflix confirmed the sequel of the movie with Ryan Gosling returning to reprise his role and Russo Brothers to direct once again. It was not confirmed whether the rest of the cast will return or not, but now, Dhanush has given a major hint regarding his role in the sequel.



Dhanush played the role of Avik San/Lone Wolf in the movie. The actor took to Twitter on Saturday (August 6) and confirmed that Lone Wolf is ready for the sequel. He shared short audio, in which he says, "Six, this is Lone Wolf. I hear we are both looking for the same man. I want to offer you some advice. Stop looking. You are wasting your time. Because if I find him first, there will be nothing for you to look for. And if you find him first, then I will find you. Nothing personal".

Earlier, Russo Brothers explained in an interview why Dhanush's character was not killed off in the movie. "We're fortunate enough to use Dhanush. We were not interested in him playing a one-off character who shows up just to be overcome by the lead in the film. He is as equally skilled and determined as Gosling is in the movie. He has a story that will allow him to come back into the narrative at some point — as his own hero".

A spin-off film, written by screenwriters Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese (Deadpool, Zombieland) is also in development and is set to explore a different element of The Gray Man universe.
