In an interview with Variety published on April 25, 2025, director Gareth Evans opened up about his experience filming Havoc. After filming action movies like The Raid and the folk horror film Apostle, Havoc is Evans' return to action filmmaking after about 10 years. When asked if the action sequences in his films are carefully plotted like dialogue, Evans replied:

"Not at all — I never go into a project saying, “I want a fight scene in a nightclub.” It’s always about what’s the inciting incident for me. When I started writing “Havoc,” the first idea I had in my head was a cop arrives at a crime scene, there’s a pile of drugs on the table, there’s a dead body, there’s a triad boss, and then for some reason the cop is scooping some coke into a coffee cup."

He then reverse engineers the scene, adding relevant characters and elements to it.

"And then, I start playing detective mode going, “Okay, who’s the body? What’s the relationship to the drugs on the table? Who brought them there?” And I slowly build it out from there, from characters and plot and the themes, as opposed to being like, “We need an action scene here because it’s been a while,”" Evans added.

When asked how Tom Hardy adapted to the choreography of the scenes, Evans replied that Hardy had come in prepared to shoot the sequences. His previous experiences with shooting other action films made it easy for him to adapt.

"But also, because of the fact that he’s worked in so many different action films in the past, and especially something like “Mad Max Fury Road,” with that process where we are shooting bite sized chunks of something as opposed to you’re going to do this whole flow in one, it meant that he already had a hell of a lot of experience," he explained.
