'Extraction' sequel will be shot internationally with same character, says Joe Russo

Director Producer Joe Russo is looking forward to the sequel to the Chris Hemsworth-starrer and one thing that he wants to carry over is the less USA feel of the story.

Extraction was set in Dhaka, Bangladesh and predominantly shot in India and Thailand with a host of Indian talent in Rudhraksh Jaiswal, Randeep Hooda and Priyanshu Painyuli.

Russo, who wrote the script and co-produced with Hemsworth, said he has been in touch with Netflix for the sequel for a little over a month.

"Everyone was very happy with the movie and very excited about it. There was good energy going into the release. And certainly the release cemented it. But yeah, it had been a conversation that's been going on for a little over a month, he told Collider in an interview.

"Extraction", which started streaming from April 24, is expected to draw 90 million viewers in four weeks of its release, according to Netflix.

Russo said they knew they had a good film going into the release. The film's numbers on the streamer confirmed their faith in exploring a potential second part.

"And now we're just going to go explore what potential story there could be moving forward with this character. With Anthony (Russo) and I, everything we do is story based, we got to find the right story to tell to know that, Yeah, we're going to go make the film.'
