Description: “Extraction 2” is an upcoming American action thriller directed by Sam Hargrave, with a screenplay by Joe Russo. The film is based on the graphic novel *Ciudad* by Ande Parks, Joe Russo, Anthony Russo, Fernando León González, and Eric Skillman. Serving as a sequel to the 2020 movie *Extraction*, it features Chris Hemsworth, Golshifteh Farahani, and Adam Bessa reprising their roles, alongside new additions Olga Kurylenko, Daniel Bernhardt, Tinatin Dalakishvili, and Idris Elba.
The story follows Tyler Rake as he is tasked with rescuing the sister of his ex-wife, Ketevan, and her children, who are held captive by her gangster husband, Davit Radiani, in one of the world’s most dangerous prisons. During the mission, Davit is killed, prompting his fiercely protective brother, Zurab, to seek revenge on Tyler.
Development for the sequel began in May 2020 when Joe Russo was confirmed as the writer, with Sam Hargrave and Chris Hemsworth set to return. The Russo Brothers expressed their vision to expand the *Extraction* universe beyond the sequel, potentially creating a cinematic franchise. Rumors also surfaced in January 2021 about an origin story for Randeep Hooda’s character, Saju.
Filming was initially planned to start in Sydney, Australia, in September 2021 but was relocated to Prague due to COVID-19 restrictions. Principal photography kicked off in Prague on November 29, 2021, with Hemsworth joining on December 4. Additional scenes were shot in Vienna, Austria, from January 28 to February 14, 2022, and production officially concluded on April 6, 2022. The film utilized ARRI ALEXA Mini LF cameras, maintaining the signature long-take techniques from the first installment. Reshoots took place in Prague in November 2022.
