The sequel to Extraction, Netflix’s most popular film to date, is in the works! Chris Hemsworth will reprise his role as Tyler Rake, and filming is set to begin soon. We’ll keep you informed on all things Extraction 2, including casting news, production updates, trailers, and the Netflix release date, down below. It should come as no surprise that a sequel is in the works for Netflix’s most popular Original film to date. With over 99 million households streaming the film, it even outperformed Bird Box, Murder Mystery, and 6 Underground.
The sequel will be directed by Sam Hargrave, who will also serve as executive producer alongside the Russo Brothers. Writing the story, however, is only credited to Joe Russo. The film blended a political thriller from the 1990s with current direct-to-video action. It was a massive hit two months into a worldwide epidemic, which makes it obvious that Extraction 2 is on the way.Hemsworth made the announcement during Netflix’s Tudum fan event on Saturday stating that if their first film pushed the boundaries the viewers should wait to see its sequel.
How far along is Extraction 2’s production?
Official Production Status: Pre-Production (Last Update: October 25, 2021) Extraction 2 was supposed to start filming in Sydney, Australia, but owing to Covid restrictions, production has been relocated to Prague, Czech Republic. Chris Hemsworth also stated on Instagram that filming will now start in late November 2021.
What is Extraction 2’s plot?
Extraction 2 has yet to get any narrative details from Netflix. To be fair, we can make some wild assumptions. Apart from explaining how Rake escaped his near-death experience, the new film must also allow him to progress to the next stage of his quest. It’s likely that he’ll use this time to reflect on his history, maybe returning to Australia for a simpler existence.
Given the amount of interest in Gaspar’s persona, the new plot might be related to the time Rake and Gaspar spent together as colleagues. Perhaps an old foe is reappearing to torment Rake in the present? It’s been done a thousand times before, yet there’s still room for improvement.
Who is in Extraction 2’s cast?
At the time of writing, the sole confirmed cast member is Chris Hemsworth, who will make his return as Tyler Rake. Tyler Rake, Chris Hemsworth’s ex-special operations commando, is definitely the lead of the Extraction series. Because he is the main protagonist, his comeback was inescapable. The narrative of Extraction presented Rake with a satisfying growth trajectory, but we’ll have to wait and watch where he goes from this one.
Rudhraksh Jaiswal played Ovi Mahajan Jr. in the first film. He is the son of an Indian crime leader named Ovi Mahajan (played by Pankaj Tripathi). Extraction told the narrative of his kidnapping and rescue. He doesn’t appear likely to return for Extraction 2, but everything is conceivable right now.
When will Extraction 2 be available on Netflix?
Assuming filming progresses as planned, Extraction 2 should be available on Netflix in the second half of 2022. In particular, Extraction 2 will most likely be released in July or August 2022, as Netflix would want Extraction 2 to be its big summer release.
