The ruins in the beginning of the movie are in Hatra, Iraq. These ruins have been preserved over the past 1400 years by various Islamic regimes. In 2014 the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS or ISIL) made threats to destroy this city stating that "graven images were not Islamic" and should not be allowed to exist. On March 7, 2015, Kurdish sources reported ISIS had begun the destruction of this ancient city. Fortunately, after recapturing the area in 2017, various reports from the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces and Spanish news Agency Agencia EFE conveyed that the damage inflicted was not as grave as has been feared.
