A third follow-up to Netflix’ action film franchise, following 2020’s Extraction and 2023’s Extraction 2, is deep into pre-production from the streaming giant.

The franchise’s director Sam Hargrave (Unlucky Stars) and leading star Chris Hemsworth (Thor) will both be returning for the third outing.

Hargrave, following in the footsteps of stuntmen-turned-directors like David Leitch (Atomic Blonde) and Chad Stahelski (John Wick), will once again deliver the same kind of visceral long take “oners” that mix brutal hand to hand combat with fast paced gunfights and high speed car chases.

Collectively, the films co-starred Golshifteh Farahani (Extraction), Adam Bessa (Extraction), Daniel Bernhardt (The Matrix Resurrections), Sinead Phelps (Carnival Row), Tinatin Dalakishvili (The Undeclared War), Justin Howell (The Man from Toronto), Golshifteh Farahani (Body of Lies) and Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace).

So what can we expect from Extraction 3? Only time will tell, as no plot details have been revealed. But franchise producer Joe Russo has revealed that Idris Elba (Beast), who was introduced in the 2nd film, will be returning.

Of course, it doesn’t stop at Extraction 3. Also on the way is the spin-off Extraction Taigo as well as the upcoming series, Mercenary: An Extraction Series – both of which take place in the Extraction universe.

Extraction 3 is expected to shoot this Summer. Until then, we leave you with the Trailers for the first two films:

For more than a decade, Legend of Conan, also known as King Conan or Conan the Conqueror, has been stuck in development limbo.

But after more than 25+ years of announcements, studio hopping and interviews, the project kept stalling.

City on Fire has followed the story since day one, and for a long time it sounded like the movie might actually happen. In 2001, Milius himself had completed a script, titled King Conan: Crown of Iron, centering on an older, settled King Conan, weary and softened by Continue reading →
