Extraction 3 Adds Pierce Brosnan and Don Lee as Production Begins in Australia

The fresh casting push points to a global expansion of the Sam Hargrave–led franchise with a confirmed tie to a Korean spin-off.

Overview

  • Extraction 3 began principal photography in Australia and announced new cast additions on Monday and Tuesday, with filming set to continue into early October.
  • Five international actors joined the production: Pierce Brosnan, Don Lee (Ma Dong-seok), Joe Taslim, Chi Lewis-Parry and Siena Agudong alongside returning leads Chris Hemsworth, Idris Elba and Golshifteh Farahani.
  • Sam Hargrave returns to direct from a David Weil script based on a story by Ande Parks and the Russo brothers, and the Russos’ AGBO and Hemsworth’s Wild State are producing.
  • Don Lee’s casting was confirmed by his agency and follows his lead role in Tygo, a Korean-language Extraction spin-off now in post-production, indicating planned crossovers inside the franchise.
  • Netflix and producers are publicly promoting casting and location milestones while keeping plot details and the new actors’ roles tightly under wraps, a strategy that preserves surprises and highlights the series’ stunt-driven action identity.
