Summary
- Extraction 3 is confirmed by Netflix at Tudum: A Global Fan Event in 2023.
- Chris Hemsworth will return as Tyler Rake in Extraction 3, along with other familiar faces.
- Idris Elba hints at his return as Alcott in Extraction 3, suggesting unfinished business.
Chris Hemsworth's Tyler Rake is now the center of a new franchise as Extraction 3 is confirmed to be on the way. Based on the graphic novel Ciudad by Ande Parks, Joe Russo, Anthony Russo, Fernando León González, and Eric Skillman, the Extraction franchise focuses on black ops mercenary Tyler Rake (Hemsworth). In the first Extraction movie, Rake is tasked with rescuing the kidnapped son of an Indian crime lord. 2023's Extraction 2, in which Rake is hired to break a Georgian gangster’s family out of prison, turned Extraction into a franchise.
When Extraction became Netflix’s most-watched original movie ever they didn’t waste any time greenlighting a sequel, and Extraction 3 continued this trend (along with news of possible spinoffs). The Extraction 3 cast will likely contain many news surprises just like its predecessor, along with some returning faces as Netflix further builds the Extraction property into a franchise. As far as many audience members are concerned, however, the key information is what the Extraction 3 story could have in store for Tyler Rake when the release date arrives.
Extraction 3 Latest News
The Russo Brothers Tease The Script
With news slowly starting to creep in regarding the anticipated threequel, the latest update sees the Russo brothers tease Extraction 3's story. While confirming that the film is still in active development, producer and writer Joe Russo delved a bit into Chris Hemsworth's character, Tyler Rake. Describing Rake as a character with a "lot of texture", it's clear that Extraction 3 isn't going to skimp on interesting character development amid its explosive action.
Read Russo's full comments below:
Yeah, we're developing it at the moment, figuring out Chris's schedule. Sam Hargrave is back directing. It's an interesting franchise because he's a very emotionally wounded character, so there's good storytelling there I think in respect to his backstory, and, you know, his relationship to violence is one that's built around self-loathing and guilt. And so, it adds a lot of texture I think, which allows us to tell more stories about him.
Extraction 2 premiered on Netflix on June 9th, 2023.

Extraction 3 Only Has 1 Way To Beat Extraction 2's One Shot Scene (But It's Almost Impossible)

Extraction 3 Cast
Chris Hemsworth Will Return
Although the full cast hasn't been finalized yet, it is known that Extraction 3 will see the return of star Chris Hemsworth as the series’ protagonist, black ops mercenary Tyler Rake. Not surprisingly, his return was confirmed along with the official announcement of the third movie going forward.
The other franchise regular who can be expected to return is Golshifteh Farahani, who played Nik Kahn, a fellow mercenary and partner of Tyler’s, in Extraction. While Hemsworth and Farahani are the only two members of the Extraction 2 cast to have appeared in the first movie, the sequel introduces some potential returning faces, including Olga Kurylenko as Rake's ex-wife Mia and Idris Elba as the shadowy operative Alcott who recruits Rake and Nik.

Extraction 3 Story Details
No Story Details Have Been Revealed Yet
Although Sam Hargrave has an idea for where it could go, he hasn’t revealed his Extraction 3 story idea. So far, the Extraction franchise has been following an anthology format with Rake picking up a new black ops rescue mission in each movie. Since Joe Russo is expanding the franchise’s worldbuilding in his script for Extraction 2, the next sequel might not be another standalone adventure; it could turn the series into a more serialized, interconnected affair.
Whatever the story for Extraction 3 ends up being, it will likely retain the franchise tradition of exploring new locales in each movie. Like the globetrotting James Bond franchise, each new entry in the Extraction series sends Rake to new corners of the world. The first movie took him to Dhaka, Bangladesh, while the second one took him to Georgia. However, if the filmmakers wanted to shake things up and subvert the expectations of an Extraction movie, then Extraction 3 could see Rake battling villains on his home turf in Australia.
Extraction 3
The followup to the 2023 film, Extraction 3 was announced at Netflix's summer Tudum event, with Chris Hemsworth returning to reprise his role as the black ops mercenary Tyler Rake, with Sam Hargrave returning to direct.
