Actor Chris Hemsworth has shared a new set video from Extraction 2 that teases a riot scene. Hemsworth returns to the sequel as Tyler Rake, a mercenary that was last seen severely injured and left for dead by the end of the first film, which was released on Netflix in 2020. Also returning for the sequel is director Sam Hargrave, former stunt coordinator turned director, who previously worked on films like Avengers: Endgame, Atomic Blonde, and Suicide Squad.
Extraction 2 is once again written by Joe Russo, with a cast that includes Tinatin Dalakishvili, Adam Bessa, Patrick Newall, Rayna Campbell, and Armen Grayg. Details are sparse on the film's plot, but Hemsworth has shared multiple set videos thus far, with the actor teasing that Extraction 2 will be "bigger and badder" than the original in terms of stunts and action, which is the centerpiece for the burgeoning franchise. At the time of its debut, Extraction was the biggest Netflix movie ever, a crown that continues to be handed over as Netflix releases more and more original features.
Filming on Extraction 2 has been underway for several months and Hemsworth has shared a new video from the set, which shows Tyler Rake in what appears to be a prison-like structure with a large group of people behind him engaging in a riot, complete with stunts and pyrotechnics. The fiery scene is humorously labeled "just another day on Extraction" by Hemsworth, who proceeds to watch the action, instead of taking part. Of course, it's likely that Hemsworth isn't just there to watch and will almost certainly be a part of the action when his name is called. Check out the video below:

Extraction 2 is expected to debut sometime in 2022, but does not have a firm release date as of yet. However, Hemsworth has a busy year ahead regardless, as he'll next appear on the big screen in Thor: Love & Thunder, the fourth sequel to his popular MCU solo series, as the titular character. From there, the actor will take on his first big villain role in Furiosa, director George Miller's prequel to Max Max: Fury Road, which he'll star in alongside Anya Taylor-Joy.
The stuntwork in the first Extraction was the highlight of the film, which blended the same high-octane battles that Hargrave excelled at with films like Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Deadpool 2, but in an R-rated environment. Extraction 2 will almost certainly up the ante in that department, as most sequels do, and the scale of the film is already looking to be bigger with scenes like the riot sequence teased here. If all goes well and Extraction 2 delivers, it could solidify the franchise series the filmmakers are setting up, which could last as long as all parties are interested and audiences are receptive.
