“In almost every scene we tried to set it up so that he was at a disadvantage,” explains Gosling. He just wants to have the right to sit on the couch and watch Netflix like the rest of us.” He’s also, it should be said, a guy with a dry, sardonic wit – one that he weaponises as much as his actual weapons. “His goals aren’t monetary, it’s not about treasure, it’s not revenge. “What I liked about this character is that he wants something that most of us want, which is just to be free,” Gosling tells Empire about his first major role in years, in our upcoming exclusive The Gray Man cover feature. But with Chris Evans’ sociopathic manhunter Lloyd Hansen on his trail, that won’t come easy. Plucked out of prison and into the pocket of the CIA, he’s a guy who’d rather be living a normal life. In The Gray Man – the new action-packed espionage thriller directed by the Russo Brothers (the guys behind a few films you might have heard of, like Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame), coming to Netflix this summer – Ryan Gosling’s hero Courtland Gentry (aka Sierra Six) is a spy out of obligation rather than a sense of duty or patriotism. Sure, James Bond lives a glamorous jet-setting life and Jason Bourne presumably gets some time to read those magazines before using them to beat people up, but there’s also all that running, shooting, and jumping to contend with – an exhausting sense of day-to-day peril.
