Extraction 3 gets a new update from star Chris Hemsworth at San Diego Comic-Con, revealing why the third film is taking so long. The first Extraction movie in 2020, directed by Sam Hargrave, introduced audiences to Hemsworth’s lethal mercenary, Tyler Rake, who is tasked with rescuing a VIP from a dangerous area of Dhaka.
The world of the hit Netflix action film expanded last year with the release of Hargrave’s sequel, and Extraction 3 has since been confirmed to be in development.
In a recent interview with Collider at SDCC, Hemsworth reveals the current status of Extraction 3, touching on why the sequel is taking so long. According to the actor, the main reason for the film still being in the early stages of development is a desire to make sure a strong story is in place before moving ahead. Check out Hemsworth’s comment below
“We’re in the middle of putting it together now, and writing it, and just trying to crack the story. Each time there’s been such a great collective collaboration between myself, Sam, the Russos, Netflix in expanding that universe and bringing that courage in life.
“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. It’s exciting, in the early stages of putting it all together. It’s a fun process.”
