Extraction 3 is taking longer than expected to arrive at Netflix, but the end result will be better for it according to Chris Hemsworth.
“Each time there’s been such a great collective collaboration between myself, Sam [Hargrave], the Russos, Netflix in expanding that universe and bringing that courage in life,” the actor told Collider in July 2024.
“We just wanna make sure that we have it right, and that we have a script that is good enough basically to follow the last two, because I’m really proud of what we’ve done previously, and hopefully we can do it again.”
The threequel was originally confirmed by Netflix after Extraction 2 had one of the streaming service‘s biggest opening weekends of 2023.
Released on June 16, 2023, the action sequel topped The Mother for the most-watched Netflix movie debut in 2023 with 88.4 million hours viewed.
Meanwhile, the first Extraction remains one of Netflix’s biggest-ever movies with 226.9 million hours viewed. Even if the sequel wasn’t able to match those numbers, viewers are eager to see more of Tyler Rake’s adventures.
So, yes, we’re definitely getting another helping of Chris Hemsworth, with returning director Sam Hargrave.
We had suspected that a third movie was brewing, as the ending of Extraction 2 saw Idris Elba’s mysterious new character recruit Tyler for another sure-to-be dangerous mission that we’ll see play out in the next movie.
So while we wait for that return, here’s everything you need to know about Extraction 3.
