The Gray Man was a monumental film in the careers of The Russo Brothers just because of the sheer magnitude of the film.

&#8216;The Gray Man&#8217; Was Tougher Than Anything Else the Russo Brothers Worked on, Surpassing the Likes of 4 MCU Films, Including Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame

Very few movies are ever made that have the same magnitude or grandeur that The
Gray Man has. With a whopping budget of 200 million, the film is unparalleled in
terms of action sequences and elaborate stunt pieces. As a result, now that the
film is enjoying great success, the directors of the film, the immensely
successful Joe and Anthony Russo, are talking about how challenging the movie
was.

The Brothers even called it more challenging than all the Marvel Cinematic
Movies. Let us see what they had to say.


THE GRAY MAN WAS EVEN MORE CHALLENGING THAN THE HIGHEST GROSSING FILM OF ALL
TIME

No other director has the sort of exceptional body of work as The Russo Brothers
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-the-russo-brothers-claim-that-they-got-ryan-gosling-to-take-up-barbie-id-like-to-think-we-influence-him/]
have. From directing a sitcom to making one of the highest-grossing films of all
time, there is nothing that the duo hasn’t done. However, in between all their
projects, their newest Netflix Original, The Gray Man
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-from-anti-bond-to-a-german-philosophical-connection-every-easter-egg-you-missed-out-on-in-the-gray-man/],
turns out to be the most difficult.



In a new video for Still Watching Netflix, Anthony and Joe went behind the scene
of The Gray Man and talked about its exceptional action sequences. The directing
duo shares how the toll of The Gray Man was greater than any other project of
theirs. In its entirety, the film included nine action sequences, with the most
complex being the Prague tram scene.

The reason for the film being so difficult and taxing, according to Joe Russo,
was because of the amount of preparation that went behind the scenes. He says
that the whole crew had to train for hundreds of hours before each action
sequence. Another reason adding to the complexity of The Gray Man was the
director’s choice to shoot on location. Many scenes in the film were shot on
location, just like the Prague chase scene.

Indeed the movie was not easy to make. However, the outcome certainly justifies
and rewards all the struggle and work put in by the cast and crew. Many critics
and fans love the action of the film even if they don’t find the story
compelling.
