In what is expected to be one of the films of the summer, Netflix published a series of images from it for the first time on Tuesday.
Gosling, in his first film role since 2018's First Man, plays elusive protagonist Court Gentry, a CIA's skilled mercenary also known as Sierra Six.
Six is wanted by former CIA colleague Lloyd Hansen (Evans) who is determined to take him out after he has uncovered some dangerous agency secrets.

"But now the tables have turned and Six is the target, hunted across the globe by Lloyd Hansen (Chris Evans), a former cohort at the CIA, who will stop at nothing to take him out. Agent Dani Miranda (Ana de Armas) has his back. He’ll need it."
