The Chris Hemsworth-starring Extraction 2, the sequel to the 2020 high-octane action thriller, has finally been given a release date. Netflix has scheduled the release of the new film for 2023. A former Australian special forces officer turned mercenary is charged with rescuing the abducted son of an international crime lord in Ciudad, a graphic book by Ande Parks. A teaser from last year’s TUDUM event, however, made it apparent that Rake would be back in the sequel, thus the finale looked to be the end of Rake’s life. Rudraksha Jaiswal, Randeep Hooda, Golshifteh Fahani, Pankaj Tripathi, and David Harbour were all part of the original cast, but only Hemsworth is returning for the sequel. During an interview with Steven Weintraub in late June, writer Joe Russo discussed how the sequel differs from the original, stating that it “has a new colour scheme.
These events take place somewhere else entirely. You can tell it’s a distinct story because of its varied speed and tone. As a result, we believe that serialising a tale in this manner is an intriguing strategy since it creates an atmosphere of surprise and unpredictability, ensuring that no two viewings will be the same as the previous.” Extraction 2’s narrative is currently under wraps, but we do know that several familiar faces will be returning for the sequel’s development. Sam Hargrave, who made his feature film directorial debut with the first picture, will once again be in charge of the camera and Joe Russo will write the narrative.
It will be produced by Joe and Anthony Russo’s AGBO production firm as well. Additionally, Hemsworth will act as a producer for the picture. This news comes on the heels of the revelation that The Gray Man, a spy thriller starring Ryan Gosling and produced by the Russo Brothers, will also get a sequel and spin-off picture. According to prior reports, both of these projects are following the Russo strategy to develop each of these films into their own universes, with AGBO reportedly planning to expand the Extraction series beyond this future sequel. It’s expected that Extraction 2 will be released in the year 2023.
