Fans of intense action films rejoice! After ironing out the details, Deadline says Chris Hemsworth has negotiated a deal to return as Tyler Rake for Extraction 3. The next chapter of the hit Netflix and AGBO action thriller finds Sam Hargrave returning to direct, with Idris Elba and Golshifteh Farahani reprising their roles as Alcott and Nik Khan, respectively, for the anticipated sequel—production fires from the hip this summer, with David Weil penning the screenplay.

Plot details for Extraction 3 remain in the shadows, but we can expect Rake and his team to once again go behind enemy lines for another in-your-face extraction mission.

The film became so popular that Extraction earned two Critics’ Choice nominations, Best Action Movie and Best Actor in an Action Movie for Hemsworth.
Because Extraction comes from AGBO, Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, Angela Russo-Otstot, Michael Disco, and Ari Costa will produce, with Hemsworth and Benjamin Grayson producing through Wild State alongside Hargrave, Patrick Newall, Eric Gitter, and Peter Schwerin. It’s been a few years since Extraction 2 premiered on Netflix, but after completing work on Crime 101, Hemsworth finally got his paws on the Extraction 3 script and is eager to return to the franchise.
