Because of the open-ended conclusion ofExtraction, fans couldn’t help but make think pieces, deep-dive videos, and theories about how Hemsworth’s character survived. Now it seems the creators wantExtractionto be part of a new cinematic universe, which is similar to how theJohn Wickfranchise turned out. Hemsworth’s return as Tyler Rake was already confirmed in a shortExtraction 2teaser, but there’s was next to nothing else as far as details go. Now, a few stills were released to mark the first day of shooting, which show Tyler Rake in the snowy Czech Republic boarding what looks like to be a high-speed moving train. The second picture and video showed both Hemsworth as well as returning director Sam Hargrave standing on the side platform of the moving vehicle.
How the character survived, what he will do next, and what the plot of the nextExtractionfilm will be are all up in the air for open speculation. One thing for certain is that fans will know a lot more once the film finishes shooting.Hemsworth has been preparing forExtraction 2even more seriously than for the last film, so fans are hopefully in for another great weekend watch when this movie releases.
Now that the environment has changed, fans can expect a whole new scenery for the combat.The firstExtractionis full of claustrophobic chase scenes and gun shootouts in the hot city of Dhaka, Bangladesh, and those will be exchanged for a much colder as well as bitter environment of the open fields. Since it’s an action movie, fans should still expect to see some close-quarter hand-to-hand combat when this film hits Netflix
One thing that is certain is thatExtraction 2will be coming out in either 2022 or possibly 2023 since the film will undoubtedly continue filming into the new year. The first film broke records and wasthe most-watched Netflix Original movieof all time last year, managing to bring in over 99 million household views.
