“Extraction” and “Extraction 2” were released roughly three years apart, so it would make sense for the soonest for “Extraction 3” to reach people’s screens is 2026. The ending of “Extraction 2” set up some intriguing plot threads for a sequel to follow up on, namely Tyler and Nik (Golshifteh Farahani) winding up in prison only to meet up with a mysterious man named Alcott (Idris Elba). He tells them he has a job for them in exchange for their freedom, and it’s likely this job will fill out the plot for the next installment.
Scott Stuber also admitted to Collider that the threequel lost some steam as a result of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. “Extraction 2” was actually released in June 2023, when the WGA strike was well underway, and the SAG-AFTRA strike was close at hand. That means that at this time, “Extraction 3” isn’t even on Netflix’s release calendar yet and probably won’t be for a while. However, fans likely won’t mind as long as the team delivers another heart-pounding installment filled with bone-crushing action set pieces the franchise has become known for.
There’s also the matter of when “Extraction 3” could start filming, especially considering Chris Hemsworth may have additional Marvel duties with “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty” and “Avengers: Secret Wars” on the horizon (assuming Thor is part of those movies). But rest assured, “Extraction 3” will come … eventually.
