Tyler Rake Is Getting “Restless” – Hemsworth’s Latest Update
In a recent interview with Collider, Chris Hemsworth revealed that “[Tyler Rake is] getting restless. We, the creative team, are putting together some different ideas and creative ventures of where we could take the whole place and the [third] film. But the intention is to certainly make another one. I don’t know exactly when, but yeah, it’ll be coming.”
This candid update shows that while Extraction 3 is definitely happening, the team is taking their time to craft the perfect storyline. After two critically acclaimed films that scored a solid 80% on Rotten Tomatoes, expectations are understandably high.
The Creative Process Behind the Scenes
The Russo Brothers are “hard at work” on the story, with screenwriter Joe Russo confirming that writing is still taking place as of October 2024. This meticulous approach suggests that Extraction 3 will deliver the same high-octane action and emotional depth that made the first two films Netflix sensations.
What Made the First Two Films So Special
The Extraction franchise has redefined Netflix action movies with its brutal, realistic combat sequences and Hemsworth’s powerhouse performance as Tyler Rake. The films have become synonymous with:
- Groundbreaking Action Sequences: Including extended one-shot fight scenes
- Emotional Storytelling: Balancing intense action with character development
- Global Appeal: Set in exotic locations with international casts
From Dwayne Johnson to Chris Hemsworth
Interestingly, the Extraction films were originally conceived with Dwayne Johnson in mind as the lead. However, when Johnson pursued other projects, Hemsworth stepped in and made the role completely his own, creating one of Netflix’s most successful action franchises.
Potential Franchise Expansion
Producer Anthony Russo has teased that the universe could be expanded with an Idris Elba-centered Extraction spin-off, suggesting that Tyler Rake’s world is just the beginning. Elba, who appeared in Extraction 2, could play a more prominent role in the upcoming sequel.
Timeline and Release Expectations
With three years passing between Extraction (April 2020) and Extraction 2 (June 2023), fans might expect a 2026 release if Netflix follows the same pattern. However, the careful development process suggests quality over speed remains the priority.

Hemsworth’s Busy Schedule
While Tyler Rake waits, Chris Hemsworth isn’t sitting idle. The Marvel star is currently busy filming Avengers: Doomsday, reprising his role as Thor for the first time in three years since Thor: Love and Thunder. He’ll reunite with Robert Downey Jr. for the first time in six years in this highly anticipated MCU film.
Why the Wait Might Be Worth It
The deliberate approach to Extraction 3’s development suggests that Netflix and the creative team understand the franchise’s value. Rather than rushing a sequel, they’re taking time to ensure it lives up to the high standards set by its predecessors.
