Chris is a Senior News Writer for Collider. He can be found in an IMAX screen, with his eyes watering and his ears bleeding for his own pleasure. He joined the news team in 2022 and accidentally fell upwards into a senior position despite his best efforts.
For reasons unknown, he enjoys analyzing box office receipts, giant sharks, and has become known as the go-to man for all things Bosch, Mission: Impossible and Christopher Nolan in Collider’s news division. Recently, he found himself yeehawing along to the Dutton saga on the Yellowstone Ranch.
He is proficient in sarcasm, wit, Photoshop and working unfeasibly long hours. Amongst his passions sit the likes of the history of the Walt Disney Company, the construction of theme parks, steam trains and binge-watching Gilmore Girls with a coffee that is just hot enough to scald him.
His obsession with the Apple TV+ series Silo is the subject of mockery within the Senior News channel, where his feelings about Taylor Sheridan’s work are enough to make his fellow writers roll their eyes.

Few action franchises hit harder that Netflix’s Extraction, which emerged during the pandemic as a surprise hit that very soon turned into a streaming juggernaut. Since Chris Hemsworth first stepped into the role of black-ops mercenary Tyler Rake in 2020, the series has become one of the streamer’s biggest original success stories, spawning a blockbuster sequel and plans for an expanding shared universe and now, the next chapter is finally underway.
Production has officially begun on Extraction 3, with director Sam Hargrave confirming the start of filming by sharing the first behind-the-scenes image from the set. The photo reunites Hargrave with Hemsworth and returning co-star Idris Elba, who made his franchise debut in Extraction 2. Hemsworth also recently revealed that cameras were set to roll this summer, teasing that Tyler Rake’s next mission would begin “in a couple of weeks.”
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
Directed once again by Hargrave and produced by Joe and Anthony Russo, Extraction 3 is the nest installment in one of Netflix’s most popular series. The original film became one of the streamer’s most-watched movies following its 2020 debut, while 2023’s Extraction 2 proved an even bigger critical success, improving its Rotten Tomatoes score from 67% to 79%.
Obviously we don’t know any details about the story but we could make an educated guess that it’ll send Tyler Rake on another globe-trotting mission full of bone crunching action, immense choreography, stunning one-shot scenes and another A-list cameo or two. Previous reports have indicated filming will take place across India, Thailand, Prague and Australia.
The franchise is also continuing to grow beyond the main films, too, and Netflix is developing Mercenary, a spin-off series starring Omar Sy that follows a hostage rescue mission in Libya, while Ma Dong-seok (Eternals) is set to headline another feature spin-off, Tygo, centred on a former child soldier seeking revenge against Korea’s criminal underworld.
Extraction 3 is now filming for Netflix.
