The snowy location is an apparent departure from the first film, which was set in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The first film marked Hargrave's debut as a feature director, having been a stunt coordinator for many films like "Captain America: The Winter Soldier", "Deadpool 2", and "Avengers: Endgame". The film became the most watched original film in Netflix's history with a reported 99 million households in its first four weeks following its release in April last year. Aside from "Extraction", which stars Chris Hemsworth as a former Australian Special Air Service Regiment soldier turned black ops mercenary on a mission to rescue an Indian drug lord's kidnapped son, Hargrave is also helming three other films including "Stay Frosty" and "Prophet".
