‘Extraction 2’ Is Officially In The Works At Netflix
Over the weekend, Netflix announced that Extraction had become their biggest-ever movie premiere, as “a projected 90 million households getting in on the action in the first 4 weeks.” In addition to Netflix’s announcement, the film’s star Chris Hemsworth also took to social media to thank fans for their overwhelming support of the movie.
Just last week, the Russo Brothers and Hemsworth discussed the possibility of a follow-up film, saying that both a prequel and a sequel were on the table:
“We discussed it and our backstory is that those two guys — and, spoiler alert, who knows whether there could be prequels or sequels could possibly go if Netflix likes the movie —but their backstory is these guys trained together and they spent a lot of time together in the military and even outside of that, in private military sector, and their skills would be matched but they just went in different directions,” Russo said.
