Extraction released a few days back starring Chris Hemsworth in the lead role on Netflix and instantly became a big hit among the audiences and now director Sam Hargrave has said that there is a potential of a sequel to the film. Sam, who made his feature debut with the Netflix action thriller, added that the sequel was not planned, but discussions about a follow-up began after studio executives saw potential in the story.

He said in an interview, "It wasn’t something (discussed) on set. As soon as it got mentioned, that thought of a sequel — because, I guess, Netflix was enjoying the dailies and things were coming together and people were like, ‘Oh, this could be…’. You know, you talk about all these things. Is it a franchise? Is it all these things? Who knows until the movie comes out and the audience responds. They’ll be the ones who decide. But it was talked about."

He further added, "As soon as it was, Joe brought up an interesting point that most of the time, you get a sequel. Rarely do you go back in time into prequels? […] You get the sense that Chris and Harbour have great chemistry […] so we thought that was a very interesting way — if you were to go backward in time — that you could play with the prequel to a story like this."

For those who have not watched the film, Sam was referring to the dynamic between Chris's character, the mercenary Tyler Rake, and his old ally, played by David Harbour. Extraction also stars Rudhraksh Jaiswal, Randeep Hooda, Pankaj Tripathi, Golshifteh Farahani, and others.
