More details about the film
As stated earlier, Extraction 2 is scheduled to be released on June 16, 2023, exclusively on Netflix. The film has been gleaned from Ande Parks, Eric Skillman, Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, and Fernando León González's highly celebrated graphic novel titled Ciudad.
The official synopsis for the movie, per Netflix, reads:
"After barely surviving the events of the first movie, Hemsworth is back as Australian black-ops gun for hire Tyler Rake, tasked with another deadly mission: rescuing the battered family of a ruthless Georgian gangster from the prison where they’re being held."
Here's what director Hargrave said about the movie's main aim or goal:
"The goal was to dive deeper into the backstory of Tyler Rake and find out what makes him tick,...The first film alludes to a deeply emotional inciting event, a family tragedy, but for the most part he remains a mysterious character."
He added:
"We felt we owed it to the audience to give them more insight into what it is that drives him. So, we introduce some new characters that bring his past into greater focus and learn more about where he’s coming from and why he’s doing what he’s doing."
Apart from Idris Elba as the 'Man in the Suit' and Chris Hemsworth as Tyler Rake, the cast members of the movie also include:
