Production

Sandberg began to develop a feature-length version of his short film alongside Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg in 2015, shortly after the release of the short film.[1] In February 2018, the project began coming together, with Sandberg directing and starring in the film. Michael Fassbender, David Hasselhoff, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ralf Moeller were set to star alongside Sandberg, with filming initially set to begin in the summer in the United States and Europe.[2][3] In May 2018, Eiza Gonzalez joined the cast, with the film now titled Kung Fury 2.[4][5] In July 2019, Gonzalez exited the film, with Alexandra Shipp cast to replace her.[6]

Filming began in July 2019 in Bulgaria and Germany.[7] On September 25, the official Laser Unicorns Instagram page confirmed that Kung Fury 2 had wrapped filming.[8]
