The news was shared on Hemsworth’s Instagram where he posted a 40-second video of the actor thanking the cast and crew. He talked about the difficulties of the production with the weather conditions being a hurdle they had to overcome. Hemsworth also highlights how they landed a helicopter on a moving train, jokingly acknowledging the absurdity of it. Hargrave shared the same video, but added that while Hemsworth has wrapped filming, the sequel still has a week to go in its production.

There is still not much known about the sequel other than the fact that Hemsworth’s Tyler Rakes survived getting shot and falling off the bridge at the end of the first film. The story will most likely deal with the aftermath of Rake’s being alive. That first film was light on its story, but it made up for it in Hargrave’s amazing action set pieces. In particular, the 12-minute one-take car chase is one of the best modern action sequences in recent memory.
From the sounds of it, Hargrave and Hemsworth are trying their hardest to top that with this sequel. Just imagining them landing a helicopter on a moving train is smile-inducing, and it will be exciting to see what the larger context of that stunt is. It sounds like something straight out of the best action video games like Uncharted. Also, based on a previously released photo, this film appears to be a much snowier affair when compared to the sun-soaked setting of the first film.
Chris Hemsworth has been keeping fans updated on the film:
