===Untitled Steve McQueen biopic===
In April 2011, [[Jeremy Renner]] enlisted Gray to write the screenplay for an untitled [[Steve McQueen]] biopic with Renner in the role under his production banner The Combine.<ref>{{cite web|last=Jagernauth|first=Kevin|title=Jeremy Renner Developing Steve McQueen Biopic As Star Vehicle, James Gray To Write The Script|url=https://theplaylist.net/jeremy-renner-developing-steve-mcqueen-biopic-as-star-vehicle-james-gray-to-write-the-script-20110428/|website=ThePlaylist.net|date=April 28, 2011|access-date=August 14, 2025}}</ref> "I did it more or less as a favor to Jeremy and to honor Steve McQueen," Gray said. Heavily researched and based on two books by [[Marshall Terrill]], ''Portrait of an American Rebel'' and ''The Life and Legend of a Hollywood Icon'', the film was initially going to be directed by [[Ivan Zachariáš]], although Gray later stated in 2013 that he may end up directing it himself at some point.<ref name="Epic">{{cite web|last=Perez|first=Rodrigo|title=James Gray May Direct Jeremy Renner's Steve McQueen Biopic; Calls 'Lost City Of Z' Epic & Hallucinogenic|url=https://www.indiewire.com/2013/10/james-gray-may-direct-jeremy-renners-steve-mcqueen-biopic-calls-lost-city-of-z-epic-hallucinogenic-92815/|website=[[IndieWire]]|date=October 9, 2013|access-date=August 14, 2025|archive-date=September 28, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170928113257/http://www.indiewire.com/2013/10/james-gray-may-direct-jeremy-renners-steve-mcqueen-biopic-calls-lost-city-of-z-epic-hallucinogenic-92815/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Armageddon Time sequel===
In October 2022, Gray said he was interested in wrangling back the cast for a semi-sequel to ''[[Armageddon Time]]'', to focus solely on his mother, who was portrayed by [[Anne Hathaway]]. "The story goes in a very unexpected place," said Gray, "Because my father actually did achieve some financial success but wound up getting it all confiscated by the government when he got into legal trouble. At the same time, my mother found out she was dying. And so, it's going to be, I think, something about that period."<ref>{{cite web|last=Perez|first=Rodrigo|title=James Gray Wants To Do An 'Armageddon Time' Sequel Focusing On Anne Hathway's Character|url=https://theplaylist.net/james-gray-wants-to-do-an-armageddon-time-sequel-focusing-on-anne-hathaways-character-20221019/|website=ThePlaylist.net|date=October 19, 2022|access-date=August 14, 2025}}</ref> That same month, ''[[Deadline Hollywood|Deadline]]'' reported that Gray's next film would be a biopic about a young [[John F. Kennedy]] that focused on his time in [[World War II]] where he saved his crew from a sinking patrol boat.<ref>{{cite web|last=Fleming|first=Mike Jr.|title='Armageddon Time's James Gray To Direct Biopic Of Young John F Kennedy For MadRiver Pictures|url=https://deadline.com/2022/10/armageddon-times-james-gray-to-direct-biopic-of-young-john-f-kennedy-for-madriver-pictures-1235157375/|website=[[Deadline Hollywood]]|access-date=August 14, 2025|date=October 28, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Chapman|first=Wilson|title=James Gray to Direct John F.
