What to Expect from Extraction 3 on Netflix

Extraction 2 is finally available to stream on Netflix after a three-year wait. After watching Extraction 2 on Netflix, everyone wants to know what’s next for the franchise, Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth), Nik Khan (Golshifteh Farahani), and Idris Elba’s mysterious character.

We shared everything we know so far about Extraction 3. We’ll continue updating this story as we learn more about Extraction 3 on Netflix.

Spoilers below for Extraction 2!

Extraction 2 definitely sets up Extraction 3

At the end of Extraction 2, it’s very clear what’s happening. Sam Hargrave, Netflix, Chris Hemsworth, the Russo Brothers, and everyone involved with this project are setting up fans for Extraction 3.

Unlike the end of the first movie, Tyler Rake is very clearly alive. There was a lot of debate if Tyler Rake was dead or not after the first movie. That’s not the case here. He’s alive, and he has another job to do, at least, that’s what the character played by Idris Elba tells Tyler at the end of the movie.

Tyler, who is being held at an Austrian prison, says he’s not doing any more jobs without Nik, and that’s when she appears. It looks like it’s go-time on Extraction 3!

Will there be an Extraction 3?

So far, Netflix has not officially ordered Extraction 3, but that’s not that important right now. Netflix does a lot of things behind the scenes, and the industry is in the middle of a writers’ strike right now. There’s a lot of time for Netflix to make something happen.

It’s obvious that Extraction 3 is possible, though. If the second movie is popular, and there’s no reason to think it won’t be, Extraction 3 will definitely happen. It looks like all parties involved are ready to make more.

Director Sam Hargrave told Decider, “There’s definitely an appetite for a third movie.” He also added:

“I know AGBO has spoken of it, Netflix has mentioned they’d be excited to do it, and Hemsworth loves playing the character,” Hargrave told Decider. “I definitely have a bunch of ideas bouncing around up in this brain of mine.”

According to Brobible, Hargrave also said that there’s a story in the works for the third movie, and Hemsworth is down to return for Extraction 3.

“He is taking a step back to spend more time with family because he is a family man and that’s very important to him, and enjoy the life that he’s earned. But the desire to take this character as far as it can go, and the fact that he has a franchise outside of the Marvel universe I think are two things that are very enticing to Chris.

“Because to be heading a franchise that has the emotional core and depth that Tyler Rake does, and still have this globe-trotting, action grittiness to it — I think those are two pretty cool characteristics and I think he recognizes that. So when we spoke, yes, he said he would be interested in perhaps reprising the role.”

Recently, the Russo brothers hinted at the potential for a third installment in the Extraction franchise. Joe Russo, who serves as both writer and producer, suggested that there may be opportunities to expand upon the worldbuilding elements introduced in Extraction 2, which could pave the way for future sequels or spinoffs. Following the success of the first Extraction film, Netflix wasted no time in announcing a follow-up. If the second movie performs similarly well, it’s probable that a third movie will be announced soon after. Now, it’s up to fans to watch the movie, and Extraction 3 is all but confirmed!

Has Netflix announced the Extraction 3 Release Date?

Not yet! We’re still a long time away from the Extraction 3 release date, so we know that Netflix is not going to announce the news for a while, likely a few months before the release.

It’s possible that Extraction 3 may come out in 2025, but there are several factors to consider before its release. Given the delays caused by COVID-19 and potential strikes, it seems more realistic to expect it in 2026. If the production team maintains its previous schedule, the movie could come out in the summer or fall of that year. However, a lot depends on whether Hemsworth decides to prioritize Extraction 3 over a new Thor film. If he does, we could see the movie hit theaters sooner than expected.

For now, we’ll predict that the release will be sometime in late 2025. A lot of things have to go right to make that happen, so we’ll have to wait and see what the production timeline looks like for the third movie.

Release Prediction: Late 2025

Who will be in the Extraction 3 Cast?

If Extraction 3 is happening, we’re going to see a lot of familiar faces in the cast. There’s no way the franchise would continue without Chris Hemsworth as Tyler Rake. We also have a good feeling about Golshifteh Farahani returning as Nik Khan. Idris Elba will almost certainly be back for the third movie.

We shared the Expected Extraction 3 Cast.

• Chris Hemsworth as Tyler Rake

• Golshifteh Farahani as Nik Khan

• Idris Elba

• Olga Kurylenko as Mia

Unfortunately, we will likely be without Adam Bessa a Yaz Khan in the third movie. Unless he’s brought back from the dead like Tyler Rake in the first movie, Yaz likely won’t be in Extraction 3.

There are definitely going to be more than a few new cast members in Extraction 3. There always is in every movie like this. Stay tuned for more news about the cast.

What will happen in Extraction 3?

While Extraction 2 was its own story, it also set up a lot of what we’ll see in Extraction 3, assuming the creative team gets to tell the story like they’re planning to do.

The first movie introduced the world to this enigmatic and almost mythical figure, Tyler Rake, and then we started to peel back the layers of who he is and what motivates him. A lot of that is how he lost his son, and that’s why he continues to sacrifice everything for Ovi.

In the second movie, Tyler is processing everything that the events of the first movie brought up with his son. He comes, I think, to some level of peace in the sequel after apologizing to his ex-wife.

We also see Tyler withhold information to his partner, Nik, about the mission, which he sees cause some tension in the middle of the movie. It’s not fully addressed or resolved. Then, Nik’s best friend and brother, Yaz, is killed by Zurab near the end of the movie.

Then, Tyler and Nik get separated in different prisons, and we don’t get to see how Yaz’s death impacts their relationship. Yes, Nik does return to save Tyler and almost dies, but there’s bound to be some friction there.

We also know that Idris Elba’s character has a job for Tyler Rake and Nik Khan to do in the next movie. He hints that his boss is a “gnarly mother**”, which seems to set up that introduction in Extraction 3.

That’s what we know about Extraction 3 so far! We’ll share more information about the movie as soon as we find out.
