The epic adventure film was shot around Alberta and British Columbia. According to Creative BC, the movie's opening shot was filmed in Drumheller, Alberta. The eerie location definitely helped set the mood of the film. Among the many locations that were made use of in and around Vancouver, Lynn Canyon was the most crucial one as producer Iwanyk explains that they specifically needed a maze-like location with dangerous cliffs that serves as the only liability as to why the greatest Falcon Knight, Gregory was captured. Although most of the sites captured in the movie were made possible in studios, the memorable locations were definitely the ones that basked with natural beauty. The Widgeon Creek, the Minaty Bay and the Fortress Mountain were showcased in their full glory.

The historic sets were recreated in Vancouver in a large studio with the vision of production designer Dante Ferretti. World-famous art directors like Grant van der Slaght (responsible for Rise of the Planet of the Apes), Elizabeth Wilcox (Godzilla, Rise of the Planet of the Apes), Michael Diner (Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol, X-Men Origins: Wolverine), Doug Hardwick (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn—Part 2, Fifty Shades of Grey) and their respective crews were behind the epic art that came to life. The famous Ward Farm that was shot at the isolated Minaty Bay was also solely designed and assembled by the design team to resemble the ruins of a Roman farm.
