Filming took place in Ghana and lasted 36 days.
Infrared optics were used in the scene where the colors change from green to red. This scene was inspired by the "Enclave" project by Irish conceptual photographer Richard Moss, which he shot in Congo.
To prepare for filming, Idris Elba stopped exercising, gained weight, stopped shaving, and shaved the hair from the front of his head to depict his character beginning to go bald. The actor wanted his hero to be different from the characters he usually plays – strong, fit, and well-groomed.
Some actors were detained on suspicion of being mercenaries, and local residents had to be filmed in their place during mass scenes.
During filming in Ghana, director Cary Fukunaga contracted malaria.
The most difficult part of making the film turned out to be delivering food to the set. As Cary Fukunaga said: "An army marches on its stomach. And so does the filming process."
The actor who played the naked soldier nicknamed 'Tripod' participated in the Liberian Civil War as part of the Liberian army. He insisted on filming naked himself.
