Here is a compilation of filming locations featured in The Killer, the latest film by director David Fincher. The focus of this list is primarily on exterior settings and easily identifiable places, as opposed to less distinct interior shots.

You can watch the full trailer for The Killer below:

The Killer is Fincher’s initial film developed exclusively for Netflix, according to a report by Collider. However, this won't be the final film of its kind, indicating that fans can anticipate additional exceptional filming locations in the future.

Paris, France

Netflix

Our killer begins his journey in Paris, where he is staking out the arrival of a high-level target across from a fancy hotel.

Michael Fassbender's character in the movie stops for a McDonald's breakfast at the Place de l'Estrapade before a hit. The Place de l'Estrapade is a public square located in the 5th arrondissement of Paris. However, the hit goes awry and the killer accidentally shoots a dominatrix instead of the intended target. Consequently, he flees through the streets of Paris, trying to reach safety on the opposite side of the world. The movie provides viewers with captivating nighttime street shots of Paris and close-up views of the River Seine.

Dominican Republic

Netflix

Upon reaching his safe house in the Dominican Republic, the killer catches glimpses of Parque Colon, also known as Columbus Park. The specific filming location of the impressive safe house remains undisclosed, but the assassin does not tarry there for an extended period. Determined to uncover the identity of those responsible for the assault on his girlfriend, he swiftly departs for the United States.

United States of America

Netflix

The killer tracks down front-end hit manager and lawyer Hodges (Charles Parnell) at his office in New Orleans, Louisiana when he arrives to confront him.

Following a glimpse into suburban life in the South, The Killer filming locations shift to St. Petersburg, Florida. Our killer's target, known as 'the brute', resides on the secluded outskirts of town where his hideout is located.

Chicago

Netflix

The protagonist of The Killer was originally supposed to end up in New York, but the filming locations were actually in Illinois. Instead of using the actual city, Chicago and St. Charles were utilized as stand-ins for the Big Apple. It was in these locations that the hitman tracked down 'the expert' and the person behind the assassination request, Claybourne (played by Arliss Howard). The majority of these scenes took place at the Chicago Midtown Athletic Club.

The murderer returns to the safe house in the Dominican Republic for a final reunion with his girlfriend.
