If some extreme action, brilliantly orchestrated fight sequences, crime, blood, and Chris Hemsworth are your cup of tea, then we have the perfect sequel lined up for you, and it is none other than Extraction 2.
Yes, Extraction is getting a sequel and it is well-deserved after the success of the first movie in 2020! The movie series is based on a graphic novel called Ciudad, the first movie was one of the biggest premiered movies in the history of Netflix, and so when Extraction 2 was announced, fans weren’t too shocked but were definitely thrilled.
Extraction 2 will be directed by Sam Hargrave, who also directed the first installment. Hargrave is best known for collaborating with the Russo Brothers, yes, THE Russo Brothers of the MCU, and probably why casting Chris Hemsworth for the lead role was an easy choice too.
The screenplay for Extraction 2 will be written by Joe Russo, so we can expect another thrilling experience this time around. Here’s everything you need to know about Extraction 2, from the plot to the cast, and much more:

What is the Plot of Extraction 2?
Netflix and the creators have been fairly secretive about the plot of The movie, and we’d blame the Russo brothers for this secrecy, but we’re not complaining. One of the best parts of Extraction was the unexpected plot twists in the midst of all the action and crime. However, even though we don’t know a lot about the plot of Extraction 2, there’s no one stopping us from speculating! The first movie introduced us to a new hero, Tyler Rake.
At the end of Extraction, Rake experiences a gunshot wound that should have killed him but #Rakelives. Tyler Rake isn’t an ordinary hero, and his journey must continue in Extraction 2. However, will he take some time away to reflect on the events that escalated or will he jump back head first into work?
There are several possibilities of what might happen in The Movie but we do know that this movie will be a lot more dangerous than the first, and the odds will be higher. Maybe enemies from Rake’s past surface again, or maybe he makes new enemies on the way.
Extraction 2 was meant to be filmed in Australia, but because of COVID-19 restrictions, they had to move the filming to Prague, Czech Republic, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Just like the previous movie, it is possible that Extraction 2 will also use the locals and the surroundings to make for a great movie. It is only a matter of time before we find out what’s going to happen in Extraction 2, and we cannot wait!
The Cast of Extraction 2
Extraction 2 will be incomplete without the leading man Chris Hemsworth, who plays the role of Tyler Rake. Recently, Hemsworth has decided to take a break from acting and spend more time with his kids and wife, and while fans are supportive of this decision, they’re just glad he finished filming Extraction 2 before he made this decision. So without a doubt, Hemsworth will be reprising his role as Tyler Rake in Extraction 2. While he will be the focus of the movie, especially with his good looks and charm, it doesn’t mean that the rest of the cast will be forgotten! Golshifteh Farahani will be reprising her role as Nik Khan, and Adam Bessa as Yaz Khan is also expected to return for Extraction 2.
Fans are hoping David Harbour returns for Extraction 2 as Gaspar, but nothing has been confirmed yet, although he could be busy filming Stranger Things!
Other than the few main characters, the rest of the cast is currently a mystery. The other cast members will depend largely on the storyline, but Tinatin Dalakishvili, Sinead Phelps, and Rayna Campbell are rumored to be a part of Extraction 2. We will make sure we update you on any cast updates that we learn about in the coming weeks!
When and Where Can You Watch Extraction 2?
It would be a shame if Netflix go of this movie franchise, especially after the raging success of the first movie in 2020. So without any hesitation, we can guarantee that Extraction 2 will be available to stream exclusively on Netflix.
We don’t have an exact release date just yet, but Extraction 2 is slated to release in 2023. The first movie was released in April, so it is possible that the second one might also release around the same time, however, fans would love a sooner release!
Is There a Trailer for Extraction 2?
We don’t have an official trailer just yet but Netflix did release a teaser a year ago. The teaser doesn’t give away much other than the fact that Tyler Rake is alive and ready to fight his next battle, whatever that might be.
This teaser also shows just how strong Rake is as the hero of Extraction and Extraction 2, and fans have been going gaga over how Chris Hemsworth is finally a part of a movie series that isn’t a part of the MCU!
Netflix also released an exclusive first look that gives us a glimpse into what is happening behind the scenes, and it looks like there’s going to be twice the action this time around!
There’s also a scene where a real helicopter lands on top of a moving train, and if that doesn’t tell you that they mean business, we don’t know what will. Extraction set the bar fairly high when it came to action sequences, and by the looks of it, Extraction 2 is about to up the ante.
Conclusion
You’re in for some crazy action in 2023, along with a lot more screen time with your favourite hero, Chris Hemsworth. There haven’t been updates about whether or not these movies will stop at Extraction 2, but it is possible that it could be trilogy or even have more installments.
