Apart from Chris Evans and Ryan Gosling, other notable actors in the action drama include Dhanush, Regé-Jean Page as Denny Carmichael, Ana de Armas as Dani Miranda, Julia Butters as Claire Fitzroy, Billy Bob Thornton as Donald Fitzroy, and Alfre Woodard as Maurice Cahill, among others. The movie is being adapted from Mark Greaney's book of the same name.

In the film, Evans and Gosling will engage in an epic pursuit when Hansen sets a bounty on his old colleague's head and sends the world's deadliest assassins after him. As per the reports of the Comic book, during an interview, Joe Russo revealed it was not them who had to sell the role to Chris Evans, but the Knives Out actor himself who did it. They revealed how they asked Evans about his future plans as an actor at the end of Avengers: Endgame and Evans said he wants to take more risks. Russo brothers said, "He said, 'You know what? I'm comfortable enough in my life and the work I've done that I'm just interested in taking risks moving forward, and I just want to play challenging characters. So it seemed obvious to us that the right move here would be to offer Chris the sociopath and not the hero."
