Extraction is based on Ande Parks‘ graphic novel Ciudad from 2014, which featured a story a Parks and Joe & Anthony Russo, with illustrations by Fernando León González. The original 2020 film follows Hemsworth‘s character Tyler Rake, a former Australian special forces operator turned mercenary that is tasked with saving the son of a crime lord who is kidnapped. After barely surviving that ordeal, he returns in the sequel which was first announced not even a month after the premiere of the first film in May 2020 when it was confirmed that Joe Russo had signed with Netflix to write a sequel. The first look of the sequel premiered a little over a year later at Netflix‘s TUDUM presentation in September 2021. The release date of the film was announced back at the start of the year in January. The story of the new film sees Rake once again out in the field, this time tasked with saving the family of a Georgian gangster from a prison where they are being held. Hargrave has previously described the mission as “bigger, badder, more deadly, and more dangerous than anything we’ve seen Rake go through.”
