One of the most talked-about action franchises of the past decade, Extraction, is busy rounding out the cast of its third installment, Extraction 3. According to Deadline, Pierce Brosnan (MobLand) will join the anticipated sequel alongside Don Lee (Train to Busan), Joe Taslim (The Furious), Chi Lewis-Parry (28 Years Later: The Bone Temple), and Siena Agudong (Mike Flanagan’s Carrie series).
High-Stakes Tactical Combat Returns to Netflix
Plot details for Extraction 3 remain tightly under wraps as Netflix and director Sam Hargrave build anticipation for the sequel, which finds Chris Hemsworth reprising his iconic role as Tyler Rake, a former operator in the Australian Army’s Special Air Service Regiment (SASR). The film is currently shooting in Australia, with Idris Elba and Golshifteh Farahani returning to co-star alongside Hemsworth for another brutal round of tactical combat.
The Extraction films are based on the graphic novel Ciudad from Ande Parks and illustrator Fernando Leon Gonzalez. The first two films in the franchise previously dominated Netflix’s Most Popular Films list, with action fans hailing them as two of the most pulse-pounding, visually kinetic action features in recent memory. Hargrave’s knack for massive, jaw-dropping single-take set pieces has set a towering standard for modern streaming blockbusters.
Pierce Brosnan’s Action Revival
Pierce Brosnan’s addition to Extraction 3 continues an impressive run of high-octane projects for the former 007 actor, who seems eager to lean heavily back into raw physical action. Besides starring alongside Tom Hardy and Helen Mirren in Paramount+‘s crime drama MobLand – which returns for its second season on September 18 – Brosnan will also headline the upcoming re-imagining of Cliffhanger.
Grounded Thrills in the Dolomites
Directed as a grounded, high-altitude survival thriller driven by authentic mountain climbing and practical set pieces, Cliffhanger casts Brosnan as Ray Cooper, a seasoned mountaineer operating a luxury chalet in the Italian Dolomites alongside his daughter (Nell Tiger Free). When a high-country excursion goes sideways, the group finds themselves targeted by a lethal gang of mercenaries. With Lily James and Lorenzo de Moor rounding out the main cast, it’s clear Brosnan is having a field day diving headfirst back into hard-hitting cinema.
