Netflix survives off screening rights but thrives with its original content offerings to fans. While the American streamer rides on the coattails of thriller blockbusters such as Stranger Things, the original movies drive home Netflix’s tendency to produce high-octane action films with global appeal. The streaming giant has revolutionized the action film genre with its adrenaline-fueled movies focused on diverse storytelling and innovative filmmaking. With franchises like Red Notice and, The Old Guard and Kate, Netflix has successfully created a niche for itself, garnering immense popularity and critical acclaim. 

Currently, it is building up on it. Pushing boundaries further, Netflix continues to raise the bar with one of its most successful movie franchises ever that stars a MCU actor as the lead. 

While talking about the possibility of Robert Downey Jr. returning as Iron Man at the Sand: International Film Festival, the Russo brothers confirmed the whereabouts of another MCU actor but for another franchise. Talking to GamesRadar+ at the festival, the Russo brothers revealed how the Extraction movie series starring Chris Hemsworth as a mercenary will be back with a third installment. The streamer is in talks with the Russo brothers and director Sam Hargrave, to bring back the movie to life. 

This comes after Netflix’s film boss Scott Stuber cautiously anticipated a third movie in the making. Speaking to the outlet, Joe Russo confirmed his role as the screenplay writer of the upcoming flick. The filmmakers also ensured that a production schedule will be soon set up once all the functionaries are rolled out. “There’s good storytelling there…” said the Russo brothers, mapping out places that allow more details to Hemsworth’s ‘emotionally wounded character’.

With the robust reception of Extraction that helped it to lead the charts for Netflix globally, it is only sensible for the filmmakers to feed the frenzy as soon as possible. 

First released in the year 2020, the action thriller became the most-watched Netflix original in the history of the streamer, garnering over 99 million viewers within the first four weeks. With the first movie fetching the biggest numbers, the second installment did not hold back in cementing the franchise as one of Netflix's best works. With its debut last year in the month of June, Extraction 2 outdid its predecessor with the most hours viewed making its way as the 10th most-watched original movie of the streamer. 

With expectations going sky high, Extraction 3 should only come as an over-the-top extraordinary action-packed threequell at a level never breached before. However, at this moment, no further timeline of the next installment has been revealed so far. By revealing details about Extraction 3 being in active talks, the Russo brothers indeed have given many reasons for fans to be psyched.
