“This movie almost killed us,” Joe said of the film in regards to the major stunt scenes. “There are, like, nine action sequences, and it’s so relentless in that regard. It was relentless to make.”
Anthony went on, saying, “We start all of our exploration of action through character. How do we test who this character is? How do we trap them in the worst possible place, like in the airplane sequence. That’s a very vulnerable place for that character to be in, and it shows you how vigilant he is, and how disciplined he is.”
Later on in the interview, the Russos said that they do have plans to expand the movie, and possible make it into a franchise.
“We never want to jinx it,” Joe said. “But we’re already thinking through where it goes from here. We like to build out worlds, and we would rather gamble on the upside and put the energy and time in to build out that universe prior to the release, so that the ideas are more germane and organic. That’s how you build out a more complex mosaic narrative.”
He continued, “The focus is to make ‘Gray Man 2.’ Our appetite is voracious and the intention is always to do more than we can.”
Here’s what Ryan said of his character in the movie.
