Chris Hemsworth has spent the better part of the last decade wielding immortal God hammers and punching mercenaries in the face. But while his days as the God of Thunder are far from over, it's his other major action franchise that's been keeping him busy recently, and it looks like the latest mission is close to completion.
Hemsworth has officially confirmed the end of production on Extraction 3 via social media, posting a host of images from his time in Thailand. The photographs were taken by Evan Paterakis, with Thailand serving as the final location for the sequel's extensive international shoot. Principal photography began in July 2026, with production taking place across Sydney, Wollongong, and several European locations before moving to Thailand.
Who Is Joining Chris Hemsworth in 'Extraction 3'?
The new movie will once again see Hemsworth return as Tyler Rake, the former Australian special forces soldier turned black-market mercenary who has somehow survived two movies that really didn't seem particularly interested in keeping him alive. Sam Hargrave returns to direct the third installment, with Joe Russo (Avengers: Endgame) and David Weil (Citadel) writing the screenplay. The franchise is based on the graphic novel Ciudad, with cinematographer Fraser Taggart also returning for the latest installment.
Once again, Hemsworth will be joined by Golshifteh Farahani (Paterson) and Idris Elba (Luther), and there are a number of big names dropping in for this third installment, including Don Lee (Eternals), Joe Taslim (The Raid), Chi Lewis-Parry (Gladiator II), Siena Agudong (Resident Evil), and Pierce Brosnan (GoldenEye). Development on the third film began in April 2024, with Hemsworth making it clear that he'd only be doing another if they found a story that justified returning to the franchise rather than simply producing another sequel for the sake of it.
The first two films helped establish Extraction as one of Netflix's signature action franchises, particularly thanks to Hargrave's elaborate action choreography and extended, seemingly uninterrupted fight sequences. The first two Extraction movies have been enormous successes for Netflix, collectively accumulating more than 545 million hours watched and 270 million views during their respective first 91 days on the platform.
Netflix has not yet announced an official release date for Extraction 3, although the movie could arrive sometime in 2027. Both previous Extraction films are streaming now on Netflix.
