The highlights include The Gray Man, an action thriller starring Chris Evans and Ryan Gosling from the directors and writers of Avengers: Endgame, a new Adam Sandler film titled Hustle, the Rebel Wilson comedy Senior Year, and the sci-fi thriller Spiderhead starring Chris Hemsworth and Miles Teller.
