Back from the dead, Chris Hemsworth returns as Tyler Rake in Extraction 2 with an action-packed preview of the much-anticipated sequel. Netflix has released a two-minute trailer of the high-voltage action flick that is set to premiere on Netflix on June 16, 2023.

Extraction 2 has been shot extensively through Prague and further explores Tyler Rake's troubled past and adventures through the difficult world of international espionage.

Extraction 2 marks the return of Sam Hargrave (prolific stunt coordinator and second unit director of films like Avengers: Endgame) as the director and Joe Russo as the writer. The production company owned by the Russo brothers intends to kickstart an MCU-esqe franchise with the Extraction storyline so far.

Chris Hemsworth, along with his charismatic performance and baritone, returns from the shocking cliffhanger with which the first movie ended.

Extraction: The story so far

Extraction sets the foundation of the storyline by introducing Tyler Rake on an assignment to rescue the son of a renowned yet imprisoned kingpin in India. Tyler fights through the narrow, soot-filled streets of Bangladesh and India as he is challenged by drug lords, corruption, and local police.

The Russo brothers and Sam Hargrave, considering their expertise, take care of the gut-wrenching combat scenes, edge-of-the-seat car chase sequences, and intense shootouts all the while building on a growing tenderness between Ovi and Tyler. This sets the stage for Extraction 2 while the action scenes get all the more compelling.

All in all, fans can anticipate an adrenaline-fueled continuation of Tyler Rake's highly anticipated mission as well as a sneak peek into his personal troubles with new adversaries and threats along the way.

Extraction 2 will be airing worldwide on Netflix on June 16, 2023.
