Chris Hemsworth’s flaming fist fight is already the best part of Extraction 2

In 2020, Netflix released the action vehicle Chris Hemsworth extraction. Directed by former stuntman Sam Hargrave, it is one of the best Netflix original action movies to date, and one of the best action movies after the John Wick mold (something other studios could learn from).

Finally, three years later, we have a trailer for the sequel. And it looks great.

We only see a glimpse of a few scenes in the Extraction 2 trailer, but he gets the best out of it. The climax is a brawl in what appears to be a snowy prison yard, a preview of what looks to be a great action sequence. Hemsworth’s Tyler Rake protects a young woman (Tinatin Dalakishvili), throws a flashbang into the air and fights his way through a crowd.

Things really get better when Tyler grabs a riot shield and absolutely destroys several guys wearing armor, blocks an incoming Molotov cocktail with the shield, and culminates in him punching some guys while his arm is literally on fire.

We also see a short clip of Hemsworth shooting down a helicopter with a minigun in the snow. So yes, this movie is going to rule.

Hargrave returns to direct Extraction 2, as is writer Joe Russo (his brother Anthony Russo, who co-wrote the first film and produces the graphic novel on which the films are based). Hemsworth will also be joined by action legend (en John Wick accomplice) Daniel Bernhardt, which is always good news.

Extraction 2 will be released on Netflix on June 16.
