Chris Hemsworth’s Netflix action movie franchise ‘Extraction’ is finally filming its sequel. The MCU leading man revealed in an Instagram video that he’s back as Tyler Rake for ‘Extraction 2,’ reports Collider.
‘First day of shooting on Extraction 2, director Sam Hargrave, we’re here in Prague,’ he told fans in the video.
The actor continued: ‘Two things very different from the last film, one: very, very cold. Two: I’m alive, how? ‘You’re gonna have to find out and watch the movie – stay tuned!’
It’s a 15-second glimpse behind the scenes of a new adventure for the character which could have been easily left for dead after the surprise ending of the first installment.
While the previous film was set in a much warmer climate, the upcoming release sees the hero surrounded by wintry weather. The video shows Hemsworth on a train along with director Sam Hargrave. As he’s quick to point out, their new shooting location of Prague is offering nothing but snowy landscapes for the crew.
The Netflix flick may have just started filming, but the actor has been prepping for the role for months. Chris Hemsworth is no stranger to training for his roles, and ‘Extraction 2’ is no exception, as he showed off a badass training video in preparation a couple of months ago.
The film was initially set to shoot in Australia but the ongoing pandemic made it impossible. A source told the Sydney Morning Herald that initial plans fell apart due to “risky” and “too logistically difficult” aspects of location scouting as well as shooting with large crews.
Extraction tells the story of black-ops mercenary Tyler Rake on his mission to rescue the son of an international crime lord. His mission plunges him into a world of weapons and drug traffickers. Along with Chris Hemsworth and director Sam Hargrave, Joe Russo will also return for the sequel, having written the screenplay for the sequel.
