In an interview with Empire Magazine Chris Evans said, “It does seem that I’ve aggressively gone 180 (degrees) from Steve Rogers. But it just kind of unfolded that way”. Evans added saying, “And this is a character I’ve never been able to play. He’s so liberated and free and honest. What I like about him is that you should almost fear his smile more than his scowl. I think he understands that what he does is bad and harmful, but I think he considers himself necessary. He thinks he’s a disrupter”. 

About the film “The Gray Man”

The film is set for a limited release on July 15, followed by its premiere on Netflix on July 22. Other than Chris Evans, Alfre Woodard, Jessica Henwick the Indian actor Dhanush will also be seen playing the character of Avik San. Russo Brothers had specifically written this character for Dhanush as they were fans of his work and wanted to see him in this action role. As Llyod Hansen is a threat to Court Gentry similarly Avik San is a threat to Sierra Six.

With Dhanush acting in a Hollywood  production, this marks a welcome shift for international actors especially from Asian countries being part of American cinema.
