After declaring in 2011 that ‘The Gray Man‘ would be converted into a film, production stalled until it was taken up by filmmakers Anthony and Joe Russo and Netflix, making it the most costly picture the streaming service has produced to date. ‘The Gray Man,’ based on Mark Greaney’s novel of the same name, stars Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, and Ana de Armas, among others.

The CIA’s top brass exonerates Denny Carmichael, Suzanne Brewer, and Dani Miranda at the end of The Gray Man when Suzanne comes up with the plan to pin all of the guilt on the now-deceased Lloyd Hansen.

Suzanne’s strategy, on the other hand, tips the balance in her favour. Jessica Henwick’s role was frequently neglected throughout the film, but she is now on par with Carmichael in terms of power, having slain Lloyd and destroyed the flash drive with damning evidence. Meanwhile, Sierra Six escapes from the hospital after being healed to go rescue Claire, who was being held as leverage at a secure facility.

They drive away, and everything appears to be in order – for the time being. The finale of ‘The Gray Man’ is very dramatic, and there are several unresolved narrative strands that appear to be building up a sequel.

The film’s ending sets up the mystery of who might be the old man, who’s responsible for Carmichael and Suzanne’s stints at the agency.
