The heart-pounding success of Extraction 2 has reignited the flame of action movies, and director Sam Hargrave has dropped an exciting hint about expanding the franchise into a new universe. While Chris Hemsworth is set for a third installment as the iconic Tyler Rake, based on the overwhelming response to the latest film, it seems another beloved character might be stepping into the spotlight with their very own spin-off movie. Hargrave shared an intriguing detail during an interview with Collider:
“Prepare for a fun spoiler alert! We shot this scene that was in and out, out and in – where Nik engages in a heartfelt conversation about second chances while sharing strudels with a mother and child in bed in Vienna.”
While Extraction initially focused more on adrenaline-pumping action than character development, the sequel expanded the stories of key characters, including Yaz and Nik, leaving fans craving more of their captivating journeys alongside Hemsworth’s Rake.
However, there’s one hurdle to overcome: Yaz meets an unfortunate end during the events of Extraction 2. This implies that if Netflix greenlights a spin-off centered around Yaz, which seems highly likely, it will have to be a prequel. Extraction 2 subtly hints at the origins of these characters and the paths that led them to this point, leaving audiences eager to explore their pasts.
During their appearance at Netflix’s TUDUM event, Chris Hemsworth and Sam Hargrave revealed that work has already commenced on Extraction 3. After pushing boundaries with an astonishing 21-minute long one-shot sequence, the question arises: what groundbreaking direction will the third installment take surpass its predecessors? Fear not, as the Extraction Dream team known for surpassing expectations.
Netflix has a knack for expanding universes, as demonstrated by the success of Zak Snyder’s Army of the Dead, The Witcher, and the upcoming Stranger Things spin-offs. It seems Extraction poised to become another enduring franchise that will continue as long as fans desire.
