The Netflix action thriller Havoc with Tom Hardy was primarily filmed in Wales , mainly around Cardiff and other parts of South Wales.

Main filming locations

  • Cardiff, Wales – The production was based here, using both city streets and studio facilities to create the unnamed American city where the story takes place.
  • Great Point Studios / Seren Stiwdios (Cardiff) – Used for many interior sets and car sequences, giving the movie its controlled, stylized look.
  • Dragon Studios, Bridgend – Large indoor sets and some rural-adjacent material were built and shot here.
  • Merthyr Mawr, near Bridgend – Countryside and coastal area where the fishing shack and snowy rural finale-style scenes were staged.
  • Barry Island Pleasure Park, South Wales – Used for distinctive outdoor scenes in and around the amusement park.
  • Sully, Vale of Glamorgan – Residential streets and coastal views, including areas like Lynmouth Drive overlooking Sully Bay.
  • Baglan, near Port Talbot – The climactic sequence on the railway tracks was filmed at Baglan station and nearby sidings by the steelworks.
  • Swansea Guildhall (Swansea) – Stood in for key civic and police interiors, helping sell the illusion of a gritty American metropolis.

Quick note on setting vs. location

On screen, Havoc is set in an unnamed U.S. city , but almost the entire film was shot in South Wales , stitched together to feel like an American urban landscape lit up around Christmas.

TL;DR: If you’re wondering where is Havoc filmed , the answer is: in and around Cardiff and South Wales , not the U.S. city it portrays.
