Extraction took us all by surprise when it hit Netflix last year, and director Sam Hargrave - who served as a stunt coordinator on everything from Captain America: The Winter Soldier to Avengers: Endgame - put himself on the map with that in a big way. Joe Russo penned the screenplay, of course, and previously revealed that he's in the midst of working on the sequel's script. 

It didn't take long for Netflix to announce a follow-up thanks to record-breaking viewing figures, and when Collider recently caught up with Hargrave, they were able to get an update on Extraction 2.

While COVID-19 has slowed pretty much everything down in Hollywood, the filmmaker confirmed that the current plan is for this sequel (starring Chris Hemsworth) to begin shooting as soon as this Fall. 

"[That's] still the case, COVID-pending. That's kind of everyone's little caveat right now, but we're moving forward on it as if we're shooting in the fall," Hargrave confirmed. "Joe [Russo] is still finalizing the script. We're all excited to read it. I've read different iterations, but I'm excited to read what he turns in. We're all looking forward to getting back in the saddle and hopefully bringing another action-packed adventure in the 'Extraction' universe."

This is definitely a positive update, and while we still don't know whether this is a prequel or sequel, this is a franchise with a tonne of potential that Netflix is likely to revisit for years to come. As a result, Hemsworth has another action series to play the lead in, that should give even Bond a run for his money! If nothing else, it certainly feels like Extraction is a fitting replacement for the Bourne series.

Are you guys excited for Extraction 2

The characters all worked for me, just the plot and the “on the run” theme didn’t. If this film is a love letter to action films like Rambo, Die Hard and the Escape films, make it in a self contained area, make the set pieces less busy, and get rid of that stupid orange filter too.

I had heard a lot of hype for the movie before actually watching it. A movie generating that much hype usually turns me off and tends to make me go into seeing it with a little taste of a negative attitude. But I always give a movie a chance to prove me wrong and this one did. It was a lot better than I expected it to be. I wouldn't say that it had the most original plot but nonetheless found the film extremely satisfying. Looking forward to the next installment.
