Cast[edit]
Production[edit]
Development[edit]
The film is produced by Jeffrey Fierson for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It is written by Jonathan Tropper.[1] MGM won a four-way bidding war for the project in 2021 which reportedly came from an original idea from Tropper, Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista.[2] David Leitch was attached to direct with filming locations scouted in Hawaii, but that iteration of the project fell through.[3] In August 2023, Angel Manuel Soto was attached to direct.[4]
Casting[edit]
Jason Mamoa and Dave Bautista were linked to roles in 2021 prior to a bidding war for the project which was won by MGM. They were confirmed in the roles in August 2023.[5]
Filming[edit]
Principal photography is scheduled to begin in July 2024, in Hawaii and New Zealand.[6]
