Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was a Chinese-French co-production designed specifically to crack Western family markets — the 'gamer gets transported' hook was focus-grouped to death.
Dave Bautista took this role fresh off Guardians of the Galaxy, explicitly wanting to show range before Hollywood typecast him — the barbarian-with-a-heart thing was his audition for future leading-man gigs.
