  • Director Ridley Scott confirmed the Colosseum sequence features 'hundreds of real, live sharks' as part of the film's jaw-dropping set pieces
  • Lead actor Paul Mescal had to undergo intensive shark training for the harrowing scene, which reportedly took weeks to film and used a custom-built, water-filled set piece
