Now taking to Twitter, Evans posted a set photo of his character Lloyd Hansen from the highly anticipated film, revealing the many cuts and bruises his character endured. While not much has been shared from the film other than what was seen in the Netflix preview, Evans did post a picture last May revealing the bruises he sustained on set while filming, hinting at the amount of dedication that goes into making theseglobe-trotting action films. Now, as Evans grins in this newly posted photo, the cuts and scrapes are hopefully not real this time.
The Gray Man, which is based on the 2009 novel of the same name by Mark Greaney, centers on Gosling’s Court Gentry, a CIA black ops mercenary who is forced to go on the run after uncovering dark agency secrets. Evans' unhinged Lloyd Hansen, a former colleague of Gentry, is then forced to capture Gentry, which sets off a global manhunt.The Gray Man, with a budget of $200 million, will be Netflix’s most expensive film to date.
