On February 8, 2021, Michelle Rodriguez was reported to have closed a deal to star in the Dungeons & Dragons movie, at the same time as Justice Smith and Chris Pine. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Rodriguez revealed her role: "You know what, I'm gonna be a barbarian in this one. And so, you know, I've just been training. I've been— lots of protein, oh my god, and I'm hoping to gain the weight necessary to just be able to carry an axe appropriately. So I'm in the mix with Chris, Chris Pine, I can't wait to work with him. I've always heard nothing but great things about this guy."

Filming began in May and Rodriguez was seen in costume at Wells Cathedral on June 12 and at Carrickfergus Castle from June 26. At some point, Rodriguez filmed a short message for the 6th Jackie Chan International Action Film Week, appearing on set and in costume and make-up, showing a closer glimpse of some of her character's tattoos.
