The Herd (2025) is a fan-created action thriller by JoyDrama2, featuring Chris Hemsworth as Tyler Rake, the black ops mercenary from the Extraction films. The trailer begins in a grim Chicago, where Rake, now on the run after Extraction 2, discovers an evil scheme from a biotech company named NexGen. They’ve developed a virus that transforms people into wild, hive-minded “Herd” creatures, and it’s up to Rake to prevent the outbreak from becoming worldwide.
The action scenes are intense: high-speed chases through Chicago’s devastated streets, fierce battles in a NexGen laboratory against infected swarms, and a dramatic showdown in a crumbling skyscraper. Rake declares, “I’ll burn their hive to the ground,” showcasing Hemsworth’s fierce intensity reminiscent of his role in Furiosa.
This concept trailer has garnered over 190K views and has excited fans, but it’s important to note that it isn’t an official project. The actual Extraction 3, officially confirmed by Netflix, is set to begin filming in 2025 with a potential release in 2026. Additionally, there is a 2023 film called Herd, which is a zombie horror movie starring Ellen Adair, but it is not connected to this project or Chris Hemsworth.
