When is the Extraction 2 release date? We all know Chris Hemsworth as Thor, but the megastar has his own burgeoning franchise to fall back on if they ever stop making Marvel flicks. Back in 2020, he teamed with Netflix to bring us Extraction, and the action-packed movie is now back with a sequel.
Extraction was a big hit for the streaming service at the time of its release as one of the best action movies of year when viewers were crying out for straightforward, hard-hitting fun.

The Extraction 2 plot sees Tyler Rake tasked with extracting a family from the clutches of a Georgian gangster.
