A Star-Studded Action Blockbuster

‘Extraction: Taigo’ is set to be directed by Lee Sang-yong, known for his work on the acclaimed action films ‘The Outlaws 2’ and ‘The Outlaws 3.’ The film will star action heavyweight Ma Dong-seok (also known as Don Lee) and Lee Jin-wook.

Production is slated to begin in mid-October 2025, following the Chuseok holiday, with filming expected to conclude by mid-January 2026.

Plot and Production Details

The film is produced by Big Punch Pictures, B&C, and Nova Film, with the screenplay written by Cha Woo-jin. Ma Dong-seok is also involved in the project’s development, contributing to the story and serving as a producer through his company, Big Punch Pictures.

While plot specifics are being closely guarded, reports suggest Ma Dong-seok will portray Taigo, a mercenary tasked with rescuing a kidnapped colleague. Lee Jin-wook is rumored to play a rival or antagonist, adding dramatic tension to the story.

‘Extraction: Taigo’ is designed as a standalone Korean story. Although it exists within the same universe as the original ‘Extraction’ films, Chris Hemsworth’s character, Tyler Rake, is not expected to appear. The project is part of Netflix’s ongoing strategy to globalize the franchise through locally produced content and the immense star power of Asian artists.
