Chris Hemsworth chickens out of insane Extraction action sequence, leaves it to experts. Watch video
Chris Hemsworth shared a new behind-the-scenes Extraction clip where he is happy to have been left out of a demanding action sequence.
Chris Hemsworth may play the god of thunder, Thor, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe but the actor sure knows when to step up and when to back down with “flexed biceps and folded hands’. As his Netflix original Extraction gets ready to land, the actor has been teasing snippets from the film and the latest one is thrilling and funny in equal measure.
Sharing the clip which shows multiple men falling off the roof of a building in what appears to be India, a sheepish looking Hemsworth says, “Quite happy to let the completely insane experts handle this particular shot! Our stunt team risked their lives and pushed their bodies to get some of these shots, and it’s truly incredible to see. The movie wouldn’t have been possible without these guys Folded handsFlexed bicepsThumbs up.”
Earlier, talking about the demanding action scenes in the film, Hemsworth told The Sunday Telegraph, “I think if I added up every action film that I’d ever done or every piece of action I’ve ever done in a movie, it wouldn’t even come close to what we’ve done in the last nine weeks on this movie.”
He added, “We’re limping home at the end of most days, it’s the most complex, most real-life action I’ve ever done.”
Chris Hemsworth plays Tyler Rake, a fearless, black market mercenary, who embarks on the most deadly extraction of his career when he is enlisted to rescue the kidnapped son of an imprisoned international crime lord. It has been shot extensively in India, along with other places around the world.
Directed by Sam Hargrave, the film also stars Indian actors Randeep Hooda, Pankaj Tripathi, Priyanshu Painyulli, and Rudraksh Jaiswal. The screenplay is by Joe Russo and the film is produced by the Russo Brothers (Joe and Anthony Russo), Mike Larocca, Chris Hemsworth, Eric Gitter, and Peter Schwerin.
