Mark your calendar: Chris Hemsworth is coming to Manila in June for ‘Extraction 2’ APAC premiere

Chris Hemsworth fans, rejoice! Our favorite actor is flying to Manila this June and we’ll finally be breathing the same air!

Netflix revealed on Thursday (May 18, 2023) that Chris, who returns as Tyler Rake in EXTRACTION 2, and Director Sam Hargrave will be visiting the country for the APAC red carpet premiere of the highly anticipated action and adventure sequel on the streaming platform.

In the video, Chris teased fans about his visit. “I’ll be flying to Manila this June for the premiere of EXTRACTION 2 where I play Tyler Rake. I don’t want you to miss out so please come join me. It’ll be fun.” The blockbuster actor shared his excitement, adding, “Can’t wait to see you all there soon. Take care.”

In addition to the 34-second video, Netflix also released a “letter” penned by Tyler Rake, revealing the exact date of his visit. No specific location has been revealed yet as of this writing.

After barely surviving the events of the first movie, Rake is back as the Australian black ops mercenary, tasked with another deadly mission: rescuing the battered family of a ruthless Georgian gangster from the prison where they are being held.

Hemsworth reunites with director Sam Hargrave, with Joe and Anthony Russo’s AGBO producing and Joe Russo writing. Golshifteh Farahani reprises her role from the first film, with Adam Bessa, Olga Kurylenko, Daniel Bernhardt and Tinatin Dalakishvili also co-starring.
