Netflix has dropped a new trailer for explosive action-thriller Extraction 2, which sees Thor star Chris Hemsworth return as contract killer Tyler Rake.
The film is the continuation of 2020's Extraction, which was based on the graphic novel Ciudad by Ande Parks and Avengers Endgame directors Joe Russo and Anthony Russo. Tyler finds himself in the middle of a life-threatening mission in Bangladesh, trying to save the son of an incarcerated Indian drug lord.
Just nine months after being classed as 'clinically dead,' Tyler is back on another high-stakes mission. This time around, he's rescuing the family of a ruthless Georgian gangster from the prison where they’re being held. And as the action unfolds, viewers can expect to learn more about Tyler's mysterious past.

The film, with screenplay from Joe Russo, also contains a 21-minute prison-break sequence, crafted to look like a single, unbroken shot. Director Sam Hargraves revealed to Empire Online that Chris was actually set on fire 'over and over' to get the desired takes.
He told the publication: “For me, the image of Chris Hemsworth beating the s**t out of a bunch of prisoners, while on fire, in the snow was something that I couldn’t pass up. And hats off to Chris. It wasn’t CG fire. And he had to do it over and over.”
Talking to Netflix, Sam said of the sequel: "The goal was to dive deeper into the backstory of Tyler Rake and find out what makes him tick.
"We felt we owed it to the audience to give them more insight into what it is that drives him. So, we introduce some new characters that bring his past into greater focus and learn more about where he’s coming from and why he’s doing what he’s doing."
Body of Lies and Pirates of the Caribbean Five star Golshifteh Farahani returns as private military contractor Nik Khan. Adam Bessa, whose roles include Reda in The Blessed and Abbas Naziri in the Amazon Prime Video series Hanna, reprises his character Yaz Khan.
Joining the new adventure are new cast-members, James Bond and Black Widow actress Olga Kurylenko, action star Daniel Bernhardt and actress and model Tinatin Dalakishvili.
Extraction 2 launches on Netflix on Friday June 16.
