Hollywood actor Idris Elba is set to feature in an important role in Chris Hemsworth-starrer Netflix action thriller Extraction 2, the streaming platform has announced.

Sharing an action-packed video on Twitter, Netflix wrote, “The Extraction team is expanding! Idris Elba joins Chris Hemsworth, Golshifteh Farahani and Adam Bessa in Extraction 2, premiering June 16.”

Elba features at the end of the video. “Rake (Hemsworth)… That’s such a fun name to say,” he tells Hemsworth, who plays a former Australian SAS operator turned black-ops mercenary in the film, a sequel to the 2020 film Extraction.

In the one-minute video, Rake tries to extract the family members of a battered Georgian gangster and is chased by a convoy of heavily armed men. We see an intense action chase sequence with bullets and explosions.

Helmed by Sam Hargrave, the film is based on the graphic novel Ciudad by Ande Parks, Joe Russo, Anthony Russo, Fernando León González and Eric Skillman. It also features Golshifteh Farahani and Adam Bessa, who will reprise their roles alongside Hemsworth. Olga Kurylenko, Daniel Bernhardt and Tinatin Dalakishvili are also joining the cast.

The film is produced by Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, Mike Larocca, Chris Hemsworth, Patrick Newall and Sam Hargrave.

Extraction 2 will be streaming on Netflix from June 16.
