The action-packed sequel, directed by Ilya Naishuller, marks the first film in the franchise to be shot in Malta, showcasing the nation’s stunning scenery and world-class production facilities.

The filming will unfold across some of Malta’s most iconic and picturesque locations, including the historic Fort Ricasoli, the Maritime Museum, and the charming streets of Valletta. Each site offers a distinctive blend of history and character, giving the film a unique Mediterranean flair that only Malta can provide.

Joining Gyllenhaal on set are Dave Bautista, Leila George, and Aldis Hodge, forming an impressive ensemble cast that’s sure to draw global attention.
