Chris Hemsworth has shared fresh details about the upcoming Extraction 3, which was confirmed by Netflix following the success of the first two films. The action franchise stars Hemsworth as Tyler Rake, a former Australian SASR operative turned covert mercenary, and continues to draw significant interest from fans and creators alike.
Although Extraction 3 has been officially greenlit, no release date has been announced yet. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Hemsworth revealed that the creative team is currently exploring various ideas for the next installment but lacked a definitive schedule. The actor expressed strong intentions to continue the series but clarified that plans remain in development.
“[Tyler Rake is] getting restless. We, the creative team, are putting together some different ideas and creative ventures of where we could take the whole place and the [third] film. But the intention is to certainly make another one. I don’t know exactly when, but yeah, it’ll be coming.”

Progress and Challenges in Shaping Extraction 3
Although Netflix ordered the project in 2023, Extraction 3 is still in its early planning stages, with key plot points yet to be finalized. Hemsworth’s remarks highlight that the creative process remains fluid, and the team is actively brainstorming how best to evolve the story and the character of Tyler Rake. The absence of a clear timeline suggests the filmmakers are still navigating creative directions before settling on a firm approach.
Hemsworth’s insight also reveals a growing eagerness on his part to return to the role, describing his “inner Tyler Rake” as feeling the need to reengage with the action. This hint of restlessness implies that while the project’s progress may be slow, momentum could build in the near future as the team solidifies their ideas.
In addition to his work on Extraction, Hemsworth is involved in several other upcoming films. He stars in crime drama Crime 101, directed by Bart Layton, which is currently in post-production. Furthermore, he will feature in the Russo brothers’ film Avengers: Doomsday, now in production, and is confirmed for an action thriller called Subversion under the Amazon MGM banner.
What the Update Suggests About Extraction 3’s Future
Considering Hemsworth’s packed schedule and multiple project commitments, it appears unlikely that Extraction 3 will premiere this year or possibly even in the next. However, the actor’s comments indicate a strong desire to revisit the franchise soon, suggesting that concrete progress may be announced within the upcoming months.
The Extraction series has made a notable impact on Netflix, with both films securing spots on the streamer’s all-time Top 10 chart, marking a significant milestone for the action franchise. Despite the current slow pace, the ongoing interest from Hemsworth and the creative team hints that new announcements about Extraction 3 could arrive sooner than expected.
