"The deal is closed for me to write 'Extraction 2', and we are in the formative stages of what the story can be," the filmmaker said.


"We're not committing yet to whether that story goes forward, or backward in time. We left a big loose ending that leaves question marks for the audience," he added.


Sam Hargrave, who worked with Russo and his brother Anthony on Marvel blockbuster "Avengers: Endgame", directed the movie about a black ops mercenary (Hemsworth) who must rescue an Indian drug lord's kidnapped son inDhaka,Bangladesh.


The movie also featured Rudhraksh Jaiswal, Randeep Hooda, Golshifteh Farahani, Pankaj Tripathi, Priyanshu Painyuli and David Harbour.
