production

In 2012, Paul WS Anderson expressed an interest in making a film set in the world of Monster Hunter . In September 2016, Ryozo Tsujimoto, producer of Capcom, announced at the Tokyo Game Show that a corresponding real- life version was in the works. In November of the same year it was announced that the film rights were granted to Anderson and producer Jeremy Bolt after years of negotiation, who are planning a series of films from the material. Anderson acts as the director and screenwriter for the first film.

At the 2018 Cannes Film Festival , Constantin announced that the production work will take place on a budget of 60 million US dollars, financed by distributor Constantin Film, in South Africa in September 2018 , mainly in the Cape Town area and that Milla Jovovich was cast for the film. Studio Mr. X VFX works for the visual effects. Tony Jaa was cast in the lead in September 2018. Rapper TI was also announced as sniper Link and Ron Perlman as leading admiral. Filming was announced for the following month, October 2018. That same month, Diego Boneta also joined the cast.

Filming began on October 5, 2018 and is expected to end on December 19, 2018 after just over two months. The weapons and the settings should be similar to those from the games. After the film was initially due to be released on September 4, 2020, the start date was postponed to April 23, 2021 in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic .
