Avengers: Doomsday Actor Chris Hemsworth Also Stars in These Movies on Netflix - Netflix Tudum
You may know him as a certain superhero, but Chris Hemsworth has a wealth of film roles that go beyond Thor. Sure, he’ll pick up the hammer for the ninth time in Avengers: Doomsday — which got a Hemsworth-centric teaser this week — but the Australian actor is still an onscreen action hero when he’s not hanging out with Captain America and Rocket Raccoon. After getting his big break on the soap opera Home and Away, Hemsworth pivoted to films in the 2000s — starring in flicks like J.J. Abrams’s Star Trek reboot, Snow White and the Huntsman, Rush, Black Hat, and more — and has only had growing success since. He led Extraction and its sequel (which you can learn about below), busted out some sweet moves in 2016’s Ghostbusters, and hunted down Anya Taylor-Joy’s revolutionary leader in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Read on for more about Hemsworth’s movies available to watch on Netflix.
Extraction
Hemsworth teamed up with Joe and Anthony Russo — who directed him in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame and are heading up Doomsday — for Extraction, a film written by the Russos and Ande Parks, based on the graphic novel Ciudad. The action-thriller stars Hemsworth as Tyler Rake, a former Australian special forces operative. Now a black-market mercenary, Tyler is hired to save an Indian drug lord’s son from a rival Bangladeshi drug lord. Randeep Hooda (Jaat), Golshifteh Farahani (Invasion), Pankaj Tripathi (Mimi), and David Harbour (Stranger Things) also star.
Extraction 2
Tyler Rake (Hemsworth) returns in this follow-up to Extraction, directed by Sam Hargrave. After barely surviving the events of the first film, Tyler takes on a new high-stakes mission: rescuing the family of an infamous gangster from prison. Olga Kurylenko (Treason), Daniel Bernhardt (Deathstalker), Tinatin Dalakishvili (Abigail), and Idris Elba (A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE) join the sequel — which, like its predecessor, contains a massive action sequence made to look like it was shot in a single take.
Spiderhead
Hemsworth co-stars in this psychological sci-fi thriller with Miles Teller (Eternity) as Steve Abnesti, a seemingly good-natured scientist who heads up a unique prison program. In a high-tech penitentiary called Spiderhead, prisoners have their own rooms and can roam the grounds without supervision, but they must consent to mind-altering drug experiments. When Steve’s favorite prisoner, Jeff (Teller), becomes close with another resident, Lizzy (Jurnee Smollett), their growing bond captures his interest — with potentially deadly consequences for all. The movie, directed by Joseph Kosinski (Oblivion), is based on George Saunders’s short story “Escape from Spiderhead.”
