Evans was brought aboard to play Lloyd Hansen, the operative who’s hunting down Court Gentry (more on him soon).
Evans has experience playing antagonistic characters, from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World to Knives Out, so it’ll be interesting to see how his version of Lloyd Hansen compares to those other baddies.
Four of Chris Evans’ 11 movies as Captain America (including the cameo appearances) were directed by the Russo brothers, but for The Gray Man, the actor’s playing a drastically different kind of character than the Star-Spangled Avenger.
Joe Russo described Evans’ character as the villain who gets to wear “some crazy shit.”
