‘Extraction 2’ Trailer: Chris Hemsworth Returns From the Dead in Netflix’s Even Crazier Action Sequel

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic The romantic action comedy has always had a breathlessly eager-to-please, overstuffed quality. You might say it’s a what’s-not-to-like genre. We laugh! With pulses racing! And swoon at the moonstruck chemistry! In a superior rom-act-com, like “Romancing the Stone” or “Out of Sight” or “True Lies” or the new “Murder Mystery” sequel, the action is the romance — it’s how the characters connect. (One way the form extends vintage Hollywood screwball is that it tends to be about couples who so dislike each other that only by joining in death-defying scrapes can they melt the ice.) But then there are movies like “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” where the love gets sandwiched between vehicular mayhem so aggressive it’s played for “laughs,” and the too-muchness of the whole thing becomes like one of those fast-food fusion experiments. Sorry, but the movie escapism equivalent of a burger topped with a quesadilla served with cheese fries is not my idea of a good time.  

Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda is a Cannes Film Festival regular at this point, with five of his last nine features premiering on the Croisette. Moreover, Kore-eda’s film do well at the fest, too: 2013’s “Like Father, Like Son” won the Jury Prize that year, while “Shoplifters” won the coveted Palme d’Or in 2018.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director The “Scream” franchise is at an all-time high right now, with March’s “Scream VI” grossing $106 million and counting at the domestic box office to become the series’ top-grossing film. No wonder former cast members like Drew Barrymore and Parker Posey are eager to return. Posey, who has been making the press rounds in support of her role in Ari Aster’s “Beau Is Afraid,” told ComicBook.com that she’s interested in reprising the role of Jennifer Jolie from 2000’s “Scream 3.” Jennifer was the actor playing Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) in the “Stab” franchise. She was killed by Ghostface, but that didn’t stop Posey from recently pitching her return to the “Scream” team.

Roy Trakin Like their unlikely namesake, the Zombies have had several lives since being formed by keyboardist Rod Argent and vocalist Colin Blunstone in St. Albans in Hertfordshire U.K. in the early 1960s. The first British Invasion act after the Beatles to score a chart-topping U.S. hit with “She’s Not There,” the guys disbanded shortly before their 1968 soon-to-be-cult album, çOdessey and Oracle,” was released. That collection produced another stateside smash in “Time of the Season,” which Al Kooper belatedly convinced Columbia’s Clive Davis to put it out. Since Argent and Blunstone reunited as the Zombies in 2004, the group has released four albums, the latest, the Covid-delayed “Different Game,” on indie Cooking Vinyl, which serves as the follow-up to 2015’s aptly titled “Still Got That Hunger.”

Chris Hemsworth put his mind and body to the test for the National Geographic and Disney+ docuseries, "Limitless." After thorough genetic testing, Hemsworth discovered he has two copies of the APOE4 gene – one from his mother and one from his father – which studies link to an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease.  Adding more severity to the discovery, the National Institute of Health recorded in a 2021 study that one in four people carry a single copy of the gene, but less than 3% of the population have both. Despite the recent release of the trailer for "Extraction 2," rumors have swirled that Hemsworth is "slowing down" on the work front. A source told Page Six that while Chris isn't exactly retiring, "he doesn’t plan to take on many roles because of [learning about his high risk for] Alzheimer's." "Stay healthy Chris! We love you, you’re such a great actor and if it’s true you are taking a break from acting, we support you because your health comes first," one fan wrote on Instagram.

Chris Hemsworth is reorganizing his priorities. The Marvel actor appears to be taking an acting break prompted by learning that he has higher odds of experiencing Alzheimer’s Disease when compared to the general population.

The action is heating up again for Tyler Rake.

A new teaser trailer for Extraction 2, the sequel to Netflix’s action hit, answers at least one big question for fans of the original: Chris Hemsworth’s mercenary Tyler Rake is alive and well and ready for another black ops mission.

There’s no denying Chris Hemsworth is one of the biggest stars in the world. However, when you take away his work as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, his filmography has quite a few misses.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Most actors would jump at the chance to star in sequels to the highest-grossing movie of all time. Michelle Rodriguez clearly isn’t most actors. The “Fast & Furious” favorite revealed to Vanity Fair that she told James Cameron he couldn’t bring her “Avatar” character back from the dead because that’s already happened three times in her career. A fourth time would be “overkill,” Rodriguez told the blockbuster filmmaker. Rodriguez made her “Avatar” debut in Cameron’s 2009 original. She played Trudy Chacón, a combat pilot working for the Avatar Program who is sympathetic to the Na’vi. Trudy sacrifices her life in battle to ensure the Na’vi prevail over the villainous humans trying to take control of Pandora.
