Speaking with Collider, Extraction franchise director Sam Hargrave provided an update on the third installment. “The plan is to turn over in 2026 … We’ll roll cameras in 2026, we’ll see how it goes,” he said. “A lot of it’s based on [Hemsworth’s] schedule with Avengers, which has a lot of moving parts, but that’s the plan, to shoot in ’26 and I’m assuming the release will be some time in 2027. But, of course, I can neither officially confirm or deny these dates!”
Why Extraction 3 May Not Release Until 2027
As Hargrave alludes to, Hemsworth has Marvel Cinematic Universe obligations that take precedence over anything else. It has long been confirmed that Hemsworth is reprising Thor in Avengers: Doomsday, which has seemingly wrapped production. Even if Hemsworth has completed principal photography on Doomsday, he could still have work to do. For starters, there’s always the possibility of Doomsday reshoots (a common practice on blockbusters of this scale). Things on that film could be in a bit of flux, as directors Joe and Anthony Russo were seemingly shooting without a completed script. The story could theoretically evolve and require Hemsworth to come back to set.
Hemsworth could also have a Marvel future beyond Avengers: Doomsday. The follow-up, Avengers: Secret Wars, should film at some point next year, ahead of its 2027 release date. A Secret Wars cast has not been made official yet, but it’s certainly possible Hemsworth will have a role in that film as well. Marvel seemingly has big plans ahead for the God of Thunder; Disney scrapped a stunt from Hemsworth’s National Geographic series Limitless: Live Better Now so future Thor performances weren’t put at risk. Hemsworth remains in conversation with Marvel about what comes next for Thor following the Multiverse Saga.
