Extraction 2: What We Know So Far
Extraction, the action-thriller film that premiered on Netflix in 2020, quickly became one of the streaming giant’s most-watched original movies. Directed by Sam Hargrave and produced by Joe and Anthony Russo, Extraction starred Chris Hemsworth as Tyler Rake, a black-market mercenary tasked with rescuing the kidnapped son of an international crime lord.
After the film’s success, it was only a matter of time before talks of a sequel started swirling. Here’s everything we know so far about Extraction 2.
The Plot
Details about the plot of Extraction 2 are scarce, but we do know that it will pick up where the first movie left off. In the first film, Tyler Rake is presumed dead after sacrificing himself to save the young boy he was tasked with rescuing. However, the final scene of the movie shows a figure watching over Tyler’s body and hinting at the possibility of his survival.
It’s safe to assume that Extraction 2 will explore what happened to Tyler after the events of the first movie and how he will navigate the aftermath of his mission. There are also rumors that the sequel will introduce new characters and locations, expanding the scope of the franchise.
The Cast
While Chris Hemsworth’s return as Tyler Rake has not been officially confirmed, the actor has expressed interest in reprising his role. In an interview with Collider, Hemsworth stated that he had “a lot of fun” making the first movie and would “love to do another.”
Sam Hargrave will also be returning to direct Extraction 2, and Joe Russo will once again produce. However, it’s unclear if any of the other cast members from the first movie will be returning.
The Release Date
There is currently no official release date for Extraction 2, but production is reportedly set to begin in the fall of 2021. It’s possible that the movie could be released sometime in 2022, but this is purely speculative.
The Future of the Franchise
Extraction 2 is not the only project in the works for the Extraction franchise. In May 2021, it was announced that a prequel titled The Extraction: The Tyler Rake Files is in development. The prequel will reportedly explore Tyler’s backstory and how he became a black-market mercenary.
There are also rumors that the Extraction franchise could expand even further with spin-off movies or a TV series. Joe Russo has stated that there is “a whole universe” of stories to explore in the Extraction world, so fans of the first movie have a lot to look forward to.
In conclusion, Extraction 2 is shaping up to be an exciting continuation of the first movie’s intense action and compelling characters. While we still have a lot to learn about the sequel, fans can expect to see more of Tyler Rake and the thrilling world he inhabits in the near future.
