Netflix has released a new trailer for “Extraction 2,” the Chris Hemsworth-led action packed film that arrived in April 2020 which became one of the biggest streaming hits during the pandemic.
The highly anticipated sequel, “After barely surviving the events of the first movie, Rake is back as the Australian black ops mercenary, tasked with another deadly mission: rescuing the battered family of a ruthless Georgian gangster from the prison where they are being held,” says the synopsis.
“Extraction 2” is directed by Sam Hargrave from a screenplay written by returning scribe Joe Russo. Just like the 2020 film, it is also being produced by Avengers: Endgame directors Anthony and Joe Russo through their AGBO banner along with Hemsworth. It will star Hemsworth, Golshifteh Farahani, Tornike Gogrichiani, Adam Bessa, Daniel Bernhardt, Tinatin Dalakishvili, and Olga Kurylenko.
The trailer showcases a major prison fight sequence which involves a lot of complex timing and planning to get just right.
Whilst the film promises a similar level of intensity as its counterpart, which saw him rescue Ovi the kidnapped son of a crime lord, this one is promised to be “very different” according to Joe Russo. “It’s very different from ‘Extraction 1’, which we like,” he previously told Collider. “It’s its own movie in that regard. It has a different color schematic.
It’s set in a different part of the world. It has a different pace, a different tone than the first one.”
“Extraction 2” has its premiere on the Netflix streaming service on June 16th.
