Ahead of Extraction 2, Chris Hemsworth has just announced that Idris Elba has joined the cast, turning the Netflix sequel into an MCU reunion. Next week, Hemsworth will return as Tyler Rake, the neck-breaking, near-invincible mercenary who turned 2020’s actioner into the streaming platform’s most-watched original movie ever. “After barely surviving the events of the first movie, Rake is back as the Australian black ops mercenary, tasked with another deadly mission: rescuing the battered family of a ruthless Georgian gangster from the prison where they are being held,” the official synopsis reads. It’s going to be an action-packed, brutal rollercoaster – and Hemsworth is teaming up with Elba for the ride.
