Why does this story matter?
The Gray Man is Dhanush's second Hollywood film. He debuted in the industry with Ken Scott's The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir (2018). He portrayed a street magician who is in search of his estranged father. To recall, the makers teased a spinoff of The Gray Man back in May, saying that they plan to expand the film into a franchise.

The sequel is likely to feature Dhanush as the central character, as his tweet also hints at the same. In May, while attending a promotional event for The Gray Man, its directors, the Russo brothers (Joe and Anthony Russo), confirmed that the movie will extend into a full-fledged universe. They had further added that Dhanush might get to lead his own film, too.
