Extraction 3 Delayed Indefinitely as Chris Hemsworth Juggles MCU Commitments

As of October 11, 2025, the highly anticipated Extraction 3, the sequel to Chris Hemsworth's successful action film, is facing an indefinite delay. The movie, which was expected to go into production this year, is now likely to be pushed back by at least another year, according to director Sam Hargrave.

The primary reason for the delay is Hemsworth's involvement in the upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars, the follow-up to Avengers: Doomsday, which is set to release in December 2027. With production on Secret Wars expected to begin sometime next spring, Hemsworth's schedule is expected to be heavily occupied, potentially leaving little room for the Extraction 3 filming.

Adding to the uncertainty is the ongoing speculation around the future of Hemsworth's character, Thor, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Some fans have been wondering if the God of Thunder might be about to meet his demise, which could further impact Hemsworth's availability for the Extraction franchise.

If Thor does continue to be a part of the MCU, Hemsworth may be needed for additional films after Secret Wars, which could lead to even more delays for Extraction 3. As Hargrave noted, the situation remains fluid, and fans may have to wait even longer than initially anticipated to see the next installment of the Extraction series.
