Scenes that take place in Mexico in the upcoming “Terminator: Dark Fate” movie were actually filmed in Spain due to concerns of cartel violence, director Tim Miller revealed.
In an interview with Mexican publication Excelsior, Miller said that the “Dark Fate” production team had to film the Mexico scenes in Spain, mainly due to fears of violence against the crew and budget issues.
Miller cited the death of Carlos Muñoz Portal, a staff member of the Netflix series "Narcos" who was gunned down in Mexico, as a reason why “Dark Fate” filming was moved to Spain.

In the interview, Miller stated, "The last nail that sealed the coffin was the murder of a scout while searching for locations for the series."
With Mexico currently experiencing high levels of violence, Miller and his team opted to move elsewhere. In Spain, the team visited the Madrid neighborhoods Pueblo Nuevo and Lavapiés to recreate Mexican towns. The crew also repainted cars to appear as taxis and left old vehicles on the street to create an abandoned feeling.
