Chris Hemsworth has closed the book on principal photography for Extraction 3. The Australian actor said in an Instagram post, reported by HELLO! as going up on 27 October 2026, that he was finishing his time in Thailand after a few busy weeks on the Netflix sequel. The wrap matters beyond one film, because Netflix is now stacking spinoffs around it. (We covered the first reaction to the post in Chris Hemsworth wraps Thailand shoot for Extraction 3.)
What Hemsworth said, and what it confirms
“Finishing up my time in Thailand,” he wrote, calling it a “crazy few weeks of filming” that he still filled with “fun non work adventures” on the weekends. The pictures were credited to Evan Paterakis, and HELLO! says they included hiking, fishing and ocean swimming with his family, who joined him on location.
According to Comic Book Resources, an October wrap had been expected for a shoot that began in July, so production appears to have held to its schedule. ScreenRant notes that Hemsworth gave no update on plot or release date, and that Thailand adds to the locations first reported for the film, which initially pointed to Australia and Europe.
A franchise built on streaming records
The numbers explain Netflix’s interest. CBR reports that the first Extraction was once the most-watched original film on the service, a record now held by KPop Demon Hunters. Extraction 2 reached 129.3 million views and at one point ranked as the tenth most popular English-language film on Netflix.
Hemsworth returns as Tyler Rake, a former Australian special forces operator turned mercenary. ScreenRant says Sam Hargrave is back as director, with Joe Russo producing and co-writing alongside David Weil. Golshifteh Farahani returns as Nik Khan and Idris Elba is back as Alcott. Newcomers include Don Lee, Joe Taslim, Chi Lewis-Parry, Siena Agudong and Pierce Brosnan.
The spinoffs Netflix has lined up
Two side projects are already moving. Mercenary was announced in August 2025 as an eight-episode series starring Omar Sy, Boyd Holbrook and Natalie Dormer. CBR says it follows Sy’s character, Kalidou Diallo, on a mission to rescue hostages held in Libya.
Tygo is a South Korea-set film that Netflix announced last December. Don Lee plays a former child soldier turned mercenary who sets out on a revenge mission through the country’s criminal underworld, with Lee Jin-wook and Lalisa Manobal) also starring. ScreenRant reports that it is in post-production without a release date, and that it is unclear which will arrive first, Tygo or Extraction 3.
Hemsworth’s other work
Rake is one of several roles in the pipeline. ScreenRant says Hemsworth returns as Thor in Avengers: Doomsday this December, his 11th Marvel Cinematic Universe appearance. He also has the action thriller Subversion and the crime thriller Kockroach, both in post-production, with no word yet on what he does next.

What happens next
The film now moves into post-production. CBR quotes Hargrave as saying a release is expected “sometime in 2027”, though Netflix has not announced a date in the reports we read. ScreenRant suggests a release window could be named soon, but that is its reading, not a Netflix statement.
