Chris Hemsworth makes first stop in Manila for Extraction 2 global tour

MANILA, Philippines — Netflix’s Extraction 2 lead star Chris Hemsworth and director Sam Hargrave made Manila the first stop of the action-thriller film’s global tour.

MANILA, Philippines — On Monday, Hemsworth and Hargrave, both first-timers to the Philippines, kicked off a two-day itinerary with the Asia-Pacific (APAC) presscon at Conrad Hotel as well as a red-carpet premiere at SM Mall of Asia Music Hall, where they emerged onstage out of a makeshift prison cell — a “teaser” of sorts for one of the most important action scenes in the Extraction sequel.

“I feel excited to be here. Thank you very much for the warm welcome,” Hemsworth said at the presscon, where he also explained why there’s an Extraction 2, when the first film concluded with the fate of his character, the black ops mercenary Tyler Rake, in question.
