Chris Hemsworth’s Tyler Rake is now the centerpiece of a burgeoning franchise, with “Extraction 3” confirmed to be in the works. Fans are eagerly awaiting updates on the cast, storyline, and release date for this sequel to “Extraction” and “Extraction 2.” The Extraction series, based on the graphic novel “Ciudad” by Ande Parks, Joe Russo, Anthony Russo, Fernando León González, and Eric Skillman,

follows black ops mercenary Tyler Rake (Hemsworth). In the first movie, released on Netflix in 2020, Rake is tasked with rescuing the kidnapped son of an Indian crime lord.

The 2023 sequel, “Extraction 2,” sees Rake hired to break a Georgian gangster’s family out of prison, officially transforming Extraction into a franchise. Given its success, the announcement of “Extraction 3” was unsurprising but nonetheless welcomed.

“Extraction 3” highlights the franchise’s popularity and represents Chris Hemsworth’s most significant role since Thor. When “Extraction” became Netflix’s most-watched original movie ever, the streaming giant quickly greenlit a sequel. The trend continues with “Extraction 3,” and there are even talks of potential spinoffs.

The cast for “Extraction 3” is expected to feature many new surprises, along with some familiar faces, as Netflix expands the Extraction universe. For many fans, the most exciting aspect is speculating on what the story will entail for Tyler Rake when the release date finally arrives.
