Chris Hemsworth Officially Confirms His New John Wick Replacement Has Wrapped Filming

Chris Hemsworth has spent the better part of the last decade wielding immortal God hammers and punching mercenaries in the face. But while his days as the God of Thunder are far from over, it’s his other major action franchise that’s been keeping him busy recently and it looks like the latest mission is close to completion.

Hemsworth has officially confirmed the end of production on Extraction 3 via social media, as he posted a host of images from his time in Thailand. The photographs were taken by Evan Paterakis, with Thailand serving as the final location for the sequel’s extensive international shoot. Principal photography began in July 2026, with production taking place across Sydney, Wollongong, and several European locations before moving to Thailand.

Your answers have pointed to one action hero above all others. This is the person built to have your back — for better or considerably, spectacularly worse.

Your partner doesn’t talk much, doesn’t need to, and will have assessed every threat in your immediate environment before you’ve finished your first sentence. John Rambo is not a man of plans or politics — he is a force of nature shaped by survival, loyalty, and a capacity for endurance that goes beyond anything training can produce. He will not leave you behind. He has never left anyone behind who deserved to come home. What you get with Rambo is the most capable, most quietly ferocious partner imaginable — one who has been through things that would have broken anyone else, and who chose to keep going anyway. You’ll never need to ask if he has your back. You’ll just know.

Your partner will arrive perfectly dressed, perfectly briefed, and with a cover story so convincing it’ll take you a moment to remember what’s actually true. James Bond is the most professionally dangerous person in any room he enters — and the most disarmingly charming, which is the point. He operates in a world of layers, where nothing is what it appears and every advantage is used without apology. You’ll never be bored. You’ll occasionally be furious. But when it matters — when the mission is genuinely on the line and the margin for error has collapsed to nothing — Bond is exactly the partner you want. He has survived things that have no business being survivable. He does it with style. That is not nothing.

Your partner will know the history, the language, the cultural context, and exactly why the thing everyone else is ignoring is actually the most important thing in the room. Indiana Jones is brilliant, reckless, and occasionally impossible — but he is also one of the most resourceful, most genuinely knowledgeable partners you could find yourself beside. He approaches every situation with a scholar’s eye and a brawler’s instinct, which is an unusual combination and a remarkably effective one. He hates snakes and gets personally attached to objects of historical significance, both of which will slow you down at least once. It doesn’t matter. What Indy brings is irreplaceable — and the adventures you’ll have together will be the kind people write books about. Assuming you survive them.

Your partner was not supposed to be here. He does not have the right equipment, the right information, or anything approaching the right odds. He has a sarcastic remark and an absolute refusal to accept that the situation is as bad as it looks. John McClane is the greatest accidental hero in the history of action cinema — a man whose superpower is stubbornness, whose contingency plan is improvisation, and whose capacity to absorb punishment and keep moving would be alarming if it weren’t so useful. He will complain the entire time. He will make it significantly more chaotic than it needed to be. And he will absolutely, unconditionally, without question come through when it counts. Yippee-ki-yay.

Your partner has already run seventeen scenarios by the time you’ve finished reading the briefing, and the plan he’s settled on involves at least two things that should be physically impossible. Ethan Hunt operates at the absolute edge of human capability — technically, physically, and intellectually — and he brings the same relentless precision to protecting his partners that he brings to dismantling organisations that shouldn’t exist. He is not easy to know and he will never fully tell you everything. But he will carry the weight of the mission so completely, so absolutely, that your job is simply to trust him — and the remarkable thing is that trusting him always turns out to be the right call. The mission will be impossible. He will complete it anyway.

Who Is Joining Chris Hemsworth in ‘Extraction 3’?

The new movie will once again see Hemsworth return as Tyler Rake, the former Australian special forces soldier turned black-market mercenary who has somehow survived two movies that really didn’t seem particularly interested in keeping him alive. Sam Hargrave returns to direct the third installment, with Joe Russo (Avengers: Endgame) and David Weil (Citadel) writing the screenplay. The franchise is based on the graphic novel Ciudad, with cinematographer Fraser Taggart also returning for the latest installment.

Once again, Hemsworth will be joined by Golshifteh Farahani (Paterson) and Idris Elba (Luther), and there are a number of big names dropping in for this third installment, including Don Lee (Eternals), Joe Taslim (The Raid), Chi Lewis-Parry (Gladiator II), Siena Agudong (Resident Evil), and Pierce Brosnan (GoldenEye). Development on the third film began in April 2024, with Hemsworth making it clear that he’d only be doing another if they found a story that justified returning to the franchise rather than simply producing another sequel for the sake of it.

The first two films helped establish Extraction as one of Netflix’s signature action franchises, particularly thanks to Hargrave’s elaborate action choreography and extended, seemingly uninterrupted fight sequences. The first two Extraction movies have been enormous successes for Netflix, collectively accumulating more than 545 million hours watched and 270 million views during their respective first 91 days on the platform.

Netflix has not yet announced an official release date for Extraction 3, although the movie could arrive sometime in 2027. Both previous Extraction films are streaming now on Netflix.
