Lee joins the project after signing on to star in ‘Tygo’, a Korean-language entry in the ‘Extraction’ franchise centred on his former child soldier-turned-mercenary character. That film is currently in post-production.

The ‘Extraction’ movies come from the Russo Brothers’ AGBO and Hemsworth’s Wild State and are based on the graphic novel Ciudad by Ande Parks and illustrator Fernando Leon Gonzalez. The films follow Rake as he undertakes high-stakes rescue missions around the world.

Sam Hargrave, who directed the first two ‘Extraction’ films, is returning to direct the third instalment. The screenplay is by David Weil, based on a story by Ande Parks, Joe Russo and Anthony Russo.

The project is being produced by Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, Angela Russo-Otstot, Michael Disco and Ari Costa for AGBO; Hemsworth and Benjamin Grayson for Wild State; Hargrave; Patrick Newall; Eric Gitter; and Peter Schwerin. Shelby Malone and Steven V Scavelli are executive producers. (ANI)
