Idris Elba and Chris Hemsworth reunite in the action-packed thriller, Extraction 2 With details of Elba's role now revealed, fans can anticipate an exciting addition to the MCU universe Premiering on June 16, this film promises to be a must-watch for action movie lovers

Netflix has given fans a sneak peek into the highly-anticipated movie, Extraction 2, by revealing a clip featuring Chris Hemsworth and Idris Elba. Hemsworth, who previously played Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, starred in the adrenaline-fueled action film Extraction in 2020, and despite his character's apparent demise, he is set to reprise his role as Tyler Rake in the sequel. To the surprise of many, Netflix has also announced that Elba, known for his role in Luther, will appear alongside Hemsworth in Extraction 2. Netflix has teased fans with a brief glimpse of Elba's scene on Twitter.

Extraction 2 Gives Elba And Hemsworth A Fun MCU Reunion

Netflix's official website describes Elba's character as the Man in the Suit, a enigmatic figure who initiates the film's plot by proposing Tyler Rake, played by Hemsworth, with an enticing, yet potentially unfeasible mission.

The cast of Extraction 2 has been beefed up with the addition of Elba, joining original Extraction stars Golshifteh Farahani and Adam Bessa, as well as new franchise additions Olga Kurylenko and Daniel Bernhardt. This addition not only adds to the star power of the movie, but also strengthens its connections to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Elba's presence reunites him with Thor star Hemsworth, while Kurylenko's previous MCU appearance in Black Widow as Taskmaster adds another layer of connection. Additionally, Extraction 2 has ties to Avengers: Endgame co-director Joe Russo, who serves as writer and producer.

The future of Elba's presence in Extraction 3 and any potential sequels is uncertain, but the idea of him reuniting with Hemsworth is undoubtedly appealing. The clip suggests the possibility of Elba playing a mentor-like role to Hemsworth's character, but it remains to be seen if this is a one-time occurrence or the start of a recurring dynamic. Hopefully, Extraction 2 will provide some clarity when it introduces Hemsworth's Tyler Rake and Elba's mysterious Man in the Suit to audiences on Netflix.
