Extraction 2 has promised to up the ante with both cast and crew committed to make the audience's viewing experience a memorable one. Director Sam Hargrave revealed that for a one-take scene, he had decided to forgo the option of using CGI flames. Instead, the director actually set Chris Hemsworth on fire - a decision the actor wholeheartedly committed to. Hemsworth had also shared his experiences about the intensive mental and physical training he had undergone in order to endure the 'grueling' shoot days.
Directed by Sam Hargrave, Extraction 2 will be streaming from June 16. Chris Hemsworth will reprise his role of mercenary Tyler Rake from the first installment of the film. Written by the Russo brothers, the second film takes off from the cliffhanger of the first. With Idris Elba now revealed to be a part of the cast, the film has garnered even more hype for itself.
