Filming
editAccording to Collider, principal photography began on March 27, 2024, in Lapland.[3] However, Helsingin Sanomat reports that Besson is actually shooting the film in the Kainuu region instead of Lapland. The reason for the shooting location has been reported to be the area's snowy landscapes.[4]
