Netflix released a teaser for the action thriller film Monday that unveiled Elba's character.

The clip opens with Chris Hemsworth's Tyler Rake in a high-speed chase. Rake is then seen facing off with Elba's character, who is heard speaking before he is seen onscreen.

"Rake. You are a legend. I have to say, mate, you're living up to the hype. Rake. That's such a fun name to say," Elba says.

Elba and Hemsworth previously collaborated on Thor and other films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Elba plays Heimdall in the MCU, while Hemsworth portrays Thor.

Netflix released a trailer in May that gives a glimpse of the film's 21-minute, one-shot action sequence.

Extraction 2 premieres June 16.
