Chris Hemsworth’s Extraction 3 Update Is Exactly What I Want From The Netflix Threequel
Chris Hemsworth recently provided an exciting update for fans eagerly awaiting Extraction 3, addressing the film’s delay and assuring viewers that the extra time is being used to improve the script. During his appearance at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, Hemsworth emphasized that the team is focused on ensuring a stronger story, promising that the third installment will be even better than its predecessors. Rather than rushing the film into production, Hemsworth confirmed that they are carefully crafting a script that lives up to the high standards set by Extraction and Extraction 2.
This commitment to quality is particularly exciting given the potential narrative expansion teased in Extraction 2. Idris Elba’s introduction as a character tied to a larger world of covert spy organizations opens up the possibility of a broader action universe in Extraction 3. Fans are hoping that this third film will not only continue the intense action but also develop stronger character arcs and deeper plotlines, building on the foundation laid by the previous movies.
Despite the popularity of Extraction 2, the delay for Extraction 3 has raised questions, as it was confirmed during Netflix’s Tudum event in 2023 but has yet to enter full production. However, Hemsworth’s reassurance that the film’s delay is due to the team’s desire to “get the script right” signals a promising direction for the franchise. By focusing on delivering a well-developed narrative, Extraction 3 is setting itself up to be a satisfying continuation of the action-packed series. Fans can expect a more fleshed-out universe, enhanced character development, and a thrilling storyline once the movie finally arrives.

Although Sam Hargrave has an idea for where it could go, he hasn’t revealed his Extraction 3 story idea. So far, the Extraction franchise has been following an anthology format with Rake picking up a new black ops rescue mission in each movie. Since Joe Russo is expanding the franchise’s worldbuilding in his script for Extraction 2, the next sequel might not be another standalone adventure; it could turn the series into a more serialized, interconnected affair. The Extraction 3 plot could revolve around a mission with more personal stakes involving people close to Rake. The Extraction franchise could start to feel stale if the movies keep following the same formula of Rake embarking on a rescue mission. The third entry in an action movie franchise is usually the one that breaks the mold. After John McClane spent the first two Die Hard movies confined to one location in a hostile takeover, Die Hard with a Vengeance sent him all across New York City with a sidekick. Indiana Jones was mostly a lone wolf in his first two adventures, but Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade teamed him up with his estranged father. Extraction 3 could similarly try a new narrative framework or character dynamic.
