Extraction 2: First Image Of Chris Hemsworth Is Here
Extraction 2 is in production now, and star Chris Hemsworth returns as Tyler Rake in the first image from the film. Production has started in Prague, where the star posted a video to the Russo Brothers Instagram account the other day: "First day shooting on Extraction 2," Hemsworth said in the video, "Two things are different from the last film. One: very, very cold. Two: I'm alive. How? You'll have to find out. Watch the movie. Stay tuned." Hemsworth will again be playing Tyler Rake in the sequel, though little is known about the story right now. The first film debuted on Netflix last spring and quickly became one of the biggest hits in the streamer's history.
Extraction 2 Will Be The First Of Many Sequels
Starring Hemsworth, Rudhraksh Jaiswal, Randeep Hooda, Golshifteh Farahani, Pankaj Tripathi, and David Harbour, first time director Sam Hargrave established himself as a budding star in the action genre with some of the best action sequences put on film in some time. It was a huge hit for Netflix, and now a franchise is coming out of it. The Russo Brothers will also be back to produce, and filming is obviously underway. A short scene that shows what happened after Tyler fell off the bridge at the end of the first film was shown in the first teaser for the movie during Netflix's TUDUM event, with the hero opening his eyes and the screen flashing #RAKELIVES on the screen. A fist-pumping moment for sure. Hemsworth then promised that if you enjoyed what he and Sam came up with for the first film, just wait. Here is the teaser for Extraction 2 that was shown.
The first Extraction featured some of the best action sequences in any film in a long time. The one-shot, 18-minute building escape/car chase was a marvel to behold, not to mention the brutality and emotion of the final firefight on the bridge scene. That will all be really hard to top, but with this creative team, I trust them. Look for more on Extraction 2 and the franchise moving forward as it is revealed in the coming months.
