As he steps back into the shoes of his character Tyler Rake, Chris Hemsworth shared: "It's tricky to carry on with a character and not explain his past. So much of the first film was about Rake and the young boy he was rescuing. We touched a little bit on his backstory, and this new film gave us an opportunity to really dig into that and find out why he is the way he is. With 'Extraction 2', we take that depth and plunge headfirst into uncharted territories, unearthing the hidden layers and delving deeper into the heart of the story."
