- The sequel was set in 1933, seven years after the original film, allowing Rick and Evelyn to be married with a son named Alex.
- Freddie Boath chose to audition for the role of Alex O'Connell instead of auditioning for Harry Potter.
- Dwayne Johnson was cast as the Scorpion King despite being new to acting, with Sommers valuing his natural charisma for the role.
- Rachel Weisz and Patricia Velasquez underwent extensive training in ancient Japanese martial arts to perform more physically demanding scenes.
- Principal photography took place across Morocco, Jordan, England, and London, with Erfoud in Morocco being reused from the first film.

- Johnson's WWE commitments prevented detailed facial scans needed for the Scorpion King's CGI, resulting in an inaccurate digital representation.
