The announcement for the third movie confirmed that, of course, Chris Hemsworth will be back as Tyler Rake.

We haven’t had any other cast announcements yet, but we’d expect Golshifteh Farahani back as Tyler’s partner Nik Khan. However, she’ll be without her brother Yaz (played by Adam Bessa), who was 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ed off in the sequel.

Idris Elba’s mysterious character, credited as Alcott, will almost definitely be back too, as the ending teased he has a part to play in the series’ future.

Another character that could pop up in future films is Olga Kurylenko’s Mia, Tyler Rake’s ex-wife. However, although Tyler helped save her sister, it still seemed she wanted nothing to do with him.

Extraction 3 plot: What will Extraction 3 be about?

There are still no details about what Extraction 3 will be about, but the path is set thanks to Extraction 2‘s ending.

The sequel follows Tyler Rake as he achieves an impossible prison break to save his ex-wife’s sister and her two kids, who are held captive by Georgian mob boss Davit Radiani.

The extraction is successful, but Davit’s death enrages his brother Zurab, who won’t stop until he has 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ed Tyler. After a dramatic chase in Vienna, the mercenary faces the villain and 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s him, but the Austrian police storm onto the scene and arrest him and his partner Nik.

At the end of the film, Idris Elba’s unnamed character reappears to make them an offer: They will be released from prison if they do a job for his boss. It remains to be seen who that might be, or what kind of mission they are about to embark on.

Extraction 3 should reveal more about this new job – probably some very difficult extraction, to honour the saga’s title – that will challenge Rake’s abilities as a soldier. It’s also a new opportunity to bring him and Nik closer together, as we see if there’s romantic potential between them.

We also expect to meet Alcott’s mysterious boss and find out if he is an ally or a new villain to deal with. Talking to Collider, Hargrave said that while they know who the character is, they don’t yet know who will play them:

“You just had two pretty wild movies with Tyler Rake. What is going to be upping the ante, what are the stakes? How are they elevated? And by just dropping a single line, like, ‘He’s a gnarly mother-effer’, you’re like: okay, one line then says this is someone who might be in the same league as Tyler Rake. Now, I’m intrigued.”

He added: “Who is going to portray that? I think that’s the beauty of that line. It’s like, now that single line can go out and attract a lot of cool, amazing actors to play that wild character.”
