Dark Wolf Finale Almost Featured Butch Cassidy Style Trench Warfare Sequence

What was said

"I wrote that thing so many times that— and so then I'm like, all right, Let's make this like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. I remember that. This is before the idea of having the whole team come in. And I was like, all right, I want to have— he's out there. He's off-grid. So what does that mean? Oh, it's like World War I."

Jack Carr reveals the Dark Wolf finale went through multiple iterations, including an elaborate World War I-inspired trench warfare sequence that was ultimately cut due to budget and time constraints. The original concept would have featured the protagonist digging trenches, using IEDs, and fighting with a World War I trench gun with bayonet. The final version brought in the entire SEAL team for the rescue instead.
