'Extraction 2' on the cards, Chris could return for more action
Director Sam Hargrave has said that there surely is prospect of a sequel to his film, 'Extraction'. Hargrave, who made his feature debut with the Netflix action thriller, added that it wasn't always part of the program, but discussions about a follow-up commenced after studio executives saw potential in the story.
He told Collider, "It wasn't something (discussed) on set. The moment it got mentioned, that considered a sequel - because, I guess, Netflix was enjoying the dailies and things were coming together and persons were like, 'Oh, this could be…'. You know, you talk about each one of these things. Is it a franchise? Is it each one of these things? Who knows before movie comes out and the audience responds. They'll be the kinds who decide. Nonetheless it was discussed."
Hargrave added, "When it was, Joe raised a fascinating point that most of the time, you get a sequel. Rarely do you go back with time into prequels. […] You get the sense that Chris and Harbour have a great chemistry […] so we thought that was an extremely interesting way - if you were to go backwards with time - you could play with the prequel to a tale like this."
The filmmaker was referring to the dynamic between Chris Hemsworth'scharacter, the mercenary Tyler Rake, and his old ally, played by David Harbour. The film ends ambiguously, and Hargrave had previously spoken about how precisely Netflix had mandated that he leave the story open-ended, perhaps to leave room for a sequel.
Writer Joe Russo said that regarding his brother, Anthony, they're about franchise filmmaking. The Russos have directed four Marvel films, like the third and fourth 'Avengers' movies.
