New Netflix action flick The Gray Man<\/a> is perhaps primarily notable for its incredibly starry cast \u2013 with Chris Evans, Ryan Gosling and Ana de Armas all taking on major roles in the thriller.<\/p>\n

But equally as impressive is the wealth of locations that were used in the film, with directors Joe and Anthony Russo taking production to several different countries for a truly globe-trotting adventure.<\/p>\n

But which locations were actually used? Read on for everything you need to know.<\/p>

In total, production took the cast and crew to seven different countries around the world: France, the Czech Republic, Thailand, Croatia, Austria, Azerbaijan and the US.<\/p>\n

And while much of the shoot was done on location, production designer Dennis Gassner also built 21 sets inside a 1,200,000 square-foot former Boeing manufacturing hangar in Long Beach, according to the film\u2019s press notes.<\/p>\n

The film\u2019s climactic castle battle was filmed at the historical Chateau de Chantilly, near Paris, with production taking place at night after the grounds had closed to visitors.<\/p>\n

Interestingly though, the moat seen in these scenes was not actually in Chantilly, with Joe Russo explaining during an interview with Screen Rant<\/a> that they \u201ctook the Chateau from France and placed it in a moat in Croatia\u201d.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the film\u2019s blockbuster action centre-piece in Prague shut down a heavily-trafficked major square for 10 days \u2013 with the Russos claiming that the pandemic came as something of a blessing in disguise where that was concerned.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve gotta say this too: it\u2019s hard to thank the pandemic for anything but we did shoot during the depths of the pandemic so Prague was definitely quieter than it normally is,\u201d Anthony explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo that was actually a big boon for us. To be able to move through the city and control parts of the city without it being typical busy, tourist-overrun Prague.\u201d<\/p>\n

And the Russos expanded on filming that scene during an exclusive interview with RadioTimes.com<\/a>, picking the location out as their favourite from the movie.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot watch the big set-piece that unfolds in Prague, the Prague square and the tram, without thinking about how grateful we are for the opportunity to be able to shoot in Prague like that,\u201d Anthony said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, we had access to a massive section of the city in order to accomplish that scene. And look, there\u2019s not a lot of places that can support a film effort like that \u2013 you know, Prague, the Czech Republic, in general, is super film friendly, very film savvy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have great crews there, great support systems. And we were able to pull that off during the pandemic, which is, I think, a real testament to everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Gray Man is available to stream on Netflix.<\/strong><\/p>\n
