Chris Hemsworth is hard at work getting his physique ready for Extraction 2. The upcoming movie is a sequel to Netflix's 2020 action thriller based on the graphic novel, Ciudad. Directed by Sam Hargrave and produced by the Russo brothers, Extraction saw Hemsworth portray the role of an army veteran-turned-mercenary who is tasked with rescuing the son of an Indian drug lord who was kidnapped in Bangladesh. The movie also starred David Harbour, Randeep Hooda, Golshifeth Farahani, and Pankaj Tripathi.
While some critics panned Extraction for its overpacked plot, many viewers praised Hemsworth's gritty performance and the film's thrilling fight scenes. It is Netflix's most-watched original movie to date, with 99 million households tuning in during the first month of its release. Because of its success, a sequel has been confirmed, with Hemsworth reprising his role as Tyler Rake. Filming is slated to begin later this month, and the Thor actor is readying himself to head to the set.
In a new Instagram video, Hemsworth shared his latest full-body workout as he gets ready to film his scenes for Extraction 2. The video shows the 38-year-old actor looking more muscled-up than ever as he goes through his fitness routine. Hemsworth wrote in the caption, "Gearing up for [Netflix's] Extraction sequel." He demonstrated an intense workout program prepared by his fitness app, Centr, while showing off his determination and progress. Check out the actor's video below:

While fans are used to seeing Hemsworth looking muscular and fit as Thor, the actor stated that he's now focused on developing his "agility, strength, and speed" for the upcoming Extraction sequel. The Australian actor is also reportedly set to portray WWE wrestler Hulk Hogan in a so far untitled biopic. Meanwhile, some of his MCU co-stars reacted to his brutal workout. Spider-Man: Far From Home star Jake Gyllenhaal left two bicep emojis in the comments, while Thanos actor Josh Brolin wrote, "Damn! Once I finish this pizza I'm going to do that." Even DC's Aquaman star Jason Momoa replied and called Hemsworth a "boss."
Thanks to his decade-long stint as the God of Thunder in the MCU, Hemsworth is no stranger to playing physically demanding roles. However, Extraction 2 may see the action star perform more realistic stunts than ever before. While the first movie received flak for its "White Savior" elements, cinematically, it gave viewers some beautifully shot action sequences. If the sequel follows the same formula, it is sure to give Netflix another hit and would further cement Hemsworth's status as one of Hollywood's most bankable action stars today.
