Chris Hemsworth and the film’s director, Sam Hargrave, have flown to Manila for the Asia Pacific premiere of EXTRACTION 2, an action thriller film set to premiere on June 16th. It was their first trip to Manila, and they were greeted cordially by the locals at the press conference and red carpet screening of their film, as well as by celebrities, journalists, and fans from the region.

Just being here makes me happy. Chris thanked the crowd for their reception during the June 5 press conference. Sam was just as ecstatic to be back in the country, and he spoke highly of his follow-up film. Referring to the follow-up to one of Netflix’s most popular films, he exclaimed, “This is even bigger and larger and more exciting.”

“I feel excited to be here. Thank you very much for the warm welcome,” Chris said during the media conference.

Chris also described the craziest thing that he did for “Extraction 2,” which was to land a helicopter on a moving train.

“We look at each other, and we say, how can we push each other to do something that we will be proud of 10 years from now and try to make it memorable for the fans?” Sam explained.

“I certainly knew that Sam was going to recreate the action in a massive way and step it up a notch again. But what people won’t expect is the emotional journey and the relationships in the film,” Chris added.

Hundreds of Hemsworth’s devoted followers were given the opportunity to see and some lucky fans were able to speak with the actor. The fact that the event was attended by celebrities from both domestic and foreign, contributed to the evening’s glitz and excitement.

Chris portrays the role of Tyler Rake in the action movie “Extraction 2.” Tyler comes back as the Australian black operations mercenary after barely surviving the events of the first movie. This time, he is assigned another dangerous assignment, which is to rescue the wounded family of a brutal Georgian mobster from the prison where they are being imprisoned.
