Context
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.
Anticipation
Will the sequel be led by our 'Sexy Tamil friend'?
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.

The director duo had earlier stated that Dhanush's role in The Gray Man was written specifically for him.
"Dhanush plays one of the top assassins of the world," Joe Russo said.
"He's unique. Dhanush has a great presence on the camera. The character is almost mystical in a way. If the audience like this film, we expand the storytelling from here," he added.
