Sam Hargrave, director of Netflix’s action movie Extraction, announced that a sequel or prequel could be shot. Netflix, on the one hand, reinforces its position in the cinema world with films that feature important filmmakers such as The Irishman and Marriage Story, while also signing productions that do not match the big-budget blockbusters of the summer months, such as Bright and 6 Underground. In this context, Netflix, which continues to sign big-budget action movies, recently released Extraction, one of the films it has prepared within the framework of this plan.
Extraction, starring Chris Hemsworth, known as the Thor of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, managed to make a name for himself with well-executed action scenes, although he was disappointed with his stereotypical script. Especially the 12-minute plan sequence action scene in the film was praised. While the film, which managed to make a name for itself with the success of the action scenes, continues to be among the most watched productions on Netflix, the possibility of a sequel or prequel and Extraction to be turned into a series has been raised.
Saying that it is possible to shoot a prequel where the characters of David Harbor and Chris Hemsworth work together, Hargrave also said that a sequel to continue the story could also be made. Stating that the idea of turning this into a series came to the agenda as Netflix was satisfied with what he saw during the preparation process, the director stated that Netflix would ultimately make the decision.
Joe Russo, who supports Hargrave’s explanations, said that there is great chemistry between Chris Hemsworth and David Harbor, and a prequel movie that will focus on their characters is a great idea. These statements by Sam Hargrave and Joe Russo suggest that Extraction will be transformed into a series if it reaches a wide audience. The strongest possibility for now seems to be a prequel to bring together the characters of Chris Hemsworth and David Harbor.
