Chris Hemsworth will officially return for Extraction 2, Netflix has revealed.

The action film, which stars Chris Hemsworth, follows Tyler Rake, a fearless black market mercenary who embarks on the deadliest mission of his career when he’s enlisted to rescue the kidnapped son of an international crime lord. Based on the graphic novel Ciudad by Ande Parks and Joe and Anthony Russo, the film was adapted for the screen by Joe Russo and directed by Sam Hargrave, a stunt co-ordinator who worked with the Russos on several Marvel films.

“This adrenaline-fuelled thriller delivers an onslaught of visceral action,” we wrote in our review of the film.

The film became Netflix’s biggest to date, with 90 million households choosing to watch it in its first month of release. It was no surprise, then, that a sequel was soon announced as in the works. Now, though, we definitely know that Chris Hemsworth will step back into Tyler Rake’s shoes, with Hargrave also back on board for the sequel.

The news was announced by Netflix as part of its online fan event, called “TUDUM”. Here’s the nifty teaser, which contains spoilers for the end of the first film:

A sequel to Extraction is already in the works at Netflix.

The action film, which stars Chris Hemsworth, follows Tyler Rake, a fearless black market mercenary who embarks on the deadliest mission of his career when he’s enlisted to rescue the kidnapped son of an international crime lord.

Based on the graphic novel Ciudad by Ande Parks and Joe and Anthony Russo, the film was adapted for the screen by Joe Russo. Now, within weeks of its debut, Joe has closed a deal to pen a follow-up.

The news comes as Hemsworth revealed on social media that the movie was on course to be Netflix’s biggest movie to date, with an estimated 90 million households already choosing to watch at least two minutes of the film since its 24th April debut.

The movie is directed by Sam Hargrave, a stunt co-ordinator who has worked with the Russos on Marvel films and made his debut with the picture. It is likely that he would return for the sequel.

 

Extraction is available on Netflix UK, as part of an £9.99 monthly subscription.
