Trivia: This was filmed back to back with the as-yet-untitled Avatar 3. But filming didn't start until the scripts were written for 2 further sequels, so the actors would know the paths that their characters were on. James Cameron allocated the scripts to different writers after months of meetings and storyboarding. He didn't tell the writers which script they'd be working on until the end, because he knew "they'd tune out every time we were talking about the other movie."
Trivia: Nolan North, who does motion capture in the games for Nathan Drake, is on the beach at the resort. He asks Nate and Chloe what happened, and they say they fell out of a plane. He says that happened to him once. He's referring to the third game in the Uncharted series where similar events happen.
Trivia: Sergei from Secret Life of Pets 2 can be seen in the bank.
Trivia: When one of the Comanche warriors is fighting the predator, he gets thrown over a large log. He lets out a Wilhelm scream. (00:51:33)
Trivia: When Michael and Milo battle for the first time, you hear Milo repeatedly chant "Michael, Michael." It's probably my own cerebral connection, but I can't ignore the funny reference to the Lost Boys (1987) in which the main vampire (brilliantly played by Kiefer Sutherland) also chants 'Michael, oh Michael' to Michael Emerson (Jason Patric), Sam's (Corey Haim) brother, when Michael is slowly turning into a "sh*tsucking vampire" .
Trivia: Series co-star Bam Margera was fired during production for reportedly failing to take cooperate with various conditions set for his appearance, such as random drug tests. After being fired, he started a lawsuit against the other creators and reportedly sent death-threats to longtime "Jackass" director Jeff Tremaine, resulting in Tremaine taking out a restraining order against him. Despite his firing, Margera did film a few scenes and does briefly appear in the finished film.
Trivia: Adam Nee, the co-director and co-screenwriter, has a cameo as Officer Sawyer.
Trivia: In the universe where Evelyn is a movie star, real, archival footage of Michelle Yeoh from the premiere of "Crazy Rich Asians" is used.
Trivia: Chris Hemsworth, who is a producer of this film and also is married to star Elsa Pataky, has a cameo as the guy in the electronics store.
Trivia: Chris Evans refers to Ryan Gosling as a "Ken Doll." Gosling is playing the role of Ken in an upcoming Barbie movie.
Trivia: Michael Myers kills Deb by pinning her to the wall with his knife the same way he killed Bob in the original 1978 film.
Trivia: The studio asked Johnny Depp to resign from his role as Grindewald for this film, owing to allegations of domestic abuse by his ex-wife, Amber Heard. Depp later sued Heard for defamation and won the case.
Trivia: The much anticipated return of Henry Cavill as Superman ended up being all for naught, as Cavill was dropped from the role several weeks later as part of Warner Bros.' plan to scrap the DCEU in its current form and start over.
Trivia: Profanity Warning: The original cut of the film contained over 30 uses of the word "fuck." When the film was picked up for theatrical distribution, the studio wanted to redub the film's profanity to make it PG-13. The studio had the actors redub their lines with less harsh language, and then used A.I.-based software (similar to "deepfakes") to digitally manipulate their mouths to match the new dialogue.
Trivia: During the end credits, you can see various drawings. One of the drawings is The Backson from Winnie the Pooh (2011), which was also directed by Don Hall.
Trivia: The animated sequences were actually filmed in live-action with the actors on-set, and then rotoscoped with 2D animation. Director James Gunn wanted to emulate the films of Ralph Bakshi, which often employed similar techniques of live-action footage being rotoscoped with animation.
Trivia: The production actually hired several professional chefs to collaborate during pre-production. Additionally, the second unit director was hired because he previously worked on the Netflix documentary series "Chef's Table," and they wanted some of the shots to resemble shots from television cooking shows.
