Most of the action scenes and stunts were shot in the city, with the film’s second unit moving in and around different places to get the required shots.

Other locations include the Pullman Yard located in Kirkwood, Atlanta. The Atlanta Urban Design Commission nominated the place as a historical landmark in 2017.
