Chris Hemsworth Is Planning for "Extraction 3"

Hollywood star Chris Hemsworth has an idea for a third Extraction film, but it all depends on how audiences respond to the first sequel of the Netflix action franchise.

The first “Extraction” was released in April 2020 and was a major hit for Netflix. It was the most-watched original film premiere in the streaming service’s history, reaching 99 million households in its first four weeks of release.

The movie was the most-streamed title during its debut weekend, then later re-entered the Top 10 releases during the Fourth of July weekend. “Extraction” ended up as the fourth most-watched streaming film of 2020.

Based on the graphic novel Ciudad by Ande Parks, the movie featured Hemsworth as Tyler Rake, a former Australian special forces operator turned mercenary that is tasked with saving the son of a crime lord who is kidnapped.

The 39-year-old star is set to reprise his role in the upcoming sequel and has set his sights on a third movie.

"I love it. I love playing the character. I love this world. I love having something else outside of Marvel that’s amassed a bit of a following, something more in the real world. I honestly feel like we made a better film than the first one. That’s rare in the franchise world. We’d be remiss not to have a crack at another one" the 'Thor' actor told Total Film magazine.

Director Sam Hargrave is returning as director and echoed Hemsworth's thoughts by suggesting that the franchise has plenty of mileage.

"There is so much room for this franchise to expand and places where it can go," the filmmaker said.

"I’m excited about what that next adventure for Tyler Rake could be. We’ll see how this one does. We’ll see how people feel and respond. And if the world is craving another Tyler Rake adventure, I think it’d be something I’d be interested in seeing put up on screen. I have an idea, but I won’t give it away here," he added.

The high-octane action sequel began shooting in November 2021 and wrapped production in April 2022.

“Extraction” included the likes of Rudhraksh Jaiswal, Randeep Hooda, Pankaj Tripathi, and David Harbour.

The sequel also features Golshifteh Farahani and Adam Bessa as Nik and Yaz Khan, members of Rake’s mercenary crew, and introduces newcomers Daniel Bernhardt and Tinatin Dalakishvili.

“Extraction 2” is set to debut on Netflix on June 16.
