In May 2024, cast and crew filmed high-intensity action sequences in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, according to SF Gate. Onlookers spotted Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn filming near the Montezuma Grade, a steep desert highway known for panoramic views. Park officials at the time confirmed to SF Gate that a multi-day filming permit involving staged car crashes and road closures was issued.
