Production[]
Hiram Garcia at Seven Bucks Productions conceived the idea for the film, which was developed into a screenplay by Chris Morgan for Jake Kasdan to direct. Chris Evans joined the cast in January 2022.[1] In September 2022, Kiernan Shipka was added to the cast.[2] Lucy Liu, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, J. K. Simmons, Nick Kroll, Kristofer Hivju, Wesley Kimmel and Bonnie Hunt joined the cast the following month, with Ellis revealing her and Simmons' involvement on Instagram.[3][4][5][6] Dwayne Johnson was paid $50 million for his involvement.[7]
Filming began in October 2022 in Atlanta and wrapped in February 2023.[4][8] Filming ran into issues with Johnson, who was an average of seven to eight hours late to film his scenes and missed several days of shooting. These delays reportedly increased the budget by $50 million to a total of $250 million, which Garcia disputed.[9] Johnson later admitted to frequent tardiness as well as urinating in bottles on set, but Evans and Kasdan defended him.[10][11]
