Extraction 2 Is Completely Different From Original Movie, Says Joe Russo
Extraction 2 writer and producer Joe Russo explains how the upcoming sequel will differ from the original movie starring Chris Hemsworth. Released on Netflix in 2020, the action-thriller starred the Thor actor as a former SASR operator in the Australian Army who becomes a black market mercenary.
