Production

[edit]

On February 19, 2021, it was announced that The Raid's Gareth Evans was attached to direct the film from a screenplay he wrote under his exclusive deal with Netflix. Evans was also announced as a producer on the film alongside Tom Hardy and Ed Talfan for Severn Screen as well as Aram Tertzakian of XYZ Films.[2]

Alongside the initial announcement, Hardy was cast in a lead role.[2] Forest Whitaker was added to the cast the following month.[3] In June 2021, Timothy Olyphant, Justin Cornwell, Jessie Mei Li, and Yeo Yann Yann joined the main cast, with Quelin Sepulveda, Luis Guzmán, Sunny Pang, and Michelle Waterson cast in supporting roles.[4]

The film began principal photography on July 8, 2021, in Cardiff, Wales, where production will predominantly take place. The film is set to be "one of the biggest films ever to be produced in Wales" and will leave a "lasting legacy for filmmakers".[5][6] Hardy was sighted at the Barry Island Pleasure Park in South Wales and outside the Brangwyn Hall in Swansea in July and August 2021 respectively.[7][8][9] On October 22, 2021, filming officially wrapped up.[10]
