After being presumed dead at the end of Netflix’s first “Extraction” film, Chris Hemsworth is back (surprise!) as black ops mercenary Tyler Rake for another high-octane mission. In the first trailer for “Extraction 2,” Hemsworth’s Rake is revealed to be alive, and he’s wasting no time getting back to action. He brutally beats people down with a riot shield in what appears to be a prison break, uses the shield to deflect a fiery molotov cocktail, then proceeds to punch rioters with his burning fist. Director Sam Hargrave returns for the sequel, as do producers Anthony and Joe Russo, who previously teamed with Hemsworth on “Avengers: Endgame.” After making his directorial debut with the first “Extraction,” the follow-up is Hargrave’s second film. He previously worked as a stunt coordinator with the Russos on “Avengers: Endgame,” “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Captain America: Civil War.” The cast includes Golshifteh Farahani and Adam Bessa as Nik and Yaz Khan, members of Rake’s mercenary crew, plus newcomers Daniel Bernhardt and Tinatin Dalakishvili. The first “Extraction,” released in April 2020, was a major hit for Netflix. It was the most-watched original film premiere in the streaming service’s history, reaching 99 million households in its first four weeks of release. It was the most-streamed title during its debut weekend, then later re-entered the Top 10 releases during the Fourth of July weekend. “Extraction” ended up as the fourth most-watched streaming film of 2020. “Extraction 2” will release on Netflix on June 16.

HELL YES. The first one was so incredibly, and unexpectedly good. I've been waiting for the sequel for a while. And that short trailer has got me stoked. So ready for this movie.
I liked the 1st one…I randomly watched it one day not expecting much, but enjoyed it I’ll definitely watch this one
I didn’t see a thread for the first one so I’ll comment here. Thought it was pretty good, reminded me of a cross between John Wick and Black Hawk Down. Will watch the second one soon.
saw the first a while ago, but didn't get finish so just skipped to the end. i thought thor dieded. seemed like a generic action movie like the expandables
Anyone else watched this yet? I caught it over the weekend. It was magnificent. Action was just about non-stop but they had some really effective character moments sprinkled in throughout, especially at the end. Spoiler When Tyler's ex told him what his son truly thought of him in those last moments before he shipped off...man, I was bawling like a baby. Some of the effects were a little iffy, but overall the action was just as good as the first, I felt, and the story was better. Certainly more varied than the first, which all took place within the same city, just in different parts. I highly recommend to anyone that loved the first one. It seems like this one isn't getting near the attention the first did, so I'm imagining Netflix won't greenlight any further, but I hope they do. They certainly set it up for further sequels, if they can commit the money to it. Edit: well, after I posted this I did a quick search and apparently they've already announced a third movie, including Hemsworth and Hargrave directing. HELL YES
NGL i liked this more than John Wick 4. John Wick 4's action was almost too exhausting. I didnt know Nik had hands like that i like her an Rake's partnership.
Watched it over the weekend as well, the plot is barebones but I really enjoyed the action. I was getting some serious Commando vibes without the quips, looking forward to the third. Thought it was a solid B- for me, just hope they flesh out some of the characters a tad bit more....
