Chris Hemsworth’s Tyler Rake is now the center of a new franchise as Extraction 3 is confirmed to be on the way — and anticipation for cast, story, and release date news for the Extraction and Extraction 2 sequel is high. 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, released on Netflix in 2020, 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. Given how successful it’s been for Netflix, the news Extraction 3 is on the way wasn’t surprising — although was incredibly well-received.

Extraction 3 also proves that Extraction has been both an audience success and Chris Hemsworth’s most significant role since Thor. 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.
