What's left behind the scenes
- Actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau had to lose weight to participate in the filming.
- In the episode where the gods and a human walk through a body of water, the water level is the same for all of them, despite the enormous difference in height.
- Filming of scenes in the Sahara Desert took place in Australia. The filmmakers considered filming in the Sahara Desert itself too dangerous.
- The film's plot is based on ancient Egyptian myths about the struggle between the gods Horus and Seth for power in Egypt.
- In the film, Horus has both eyes gouged out, and then one is restored. In mythology, he originally lost only one eye.
- Alex Proyas and Lionsgate were forced to apologize for the film's predominantly white cast.

- This is Alex Proyas' first feature film in seven years.
- Gerard Butler later recounted that as soon as he read the word “God” in the script in relation to his character, he immediately understood that he would have to work on his physique. The actor immediately began training because he wanted to look “appropriate” by the start of filming.

- Around 200 people (from actors to crew members and technicians) who worked on "Gods of Egypt" had previously worked on "Mad Max: Fury Road" (2015). These include the first assistant director (P.J. Wotten), the special effects supervisor (Julian Dimsdale), stunt performers (Tim Wong and others), and actors (Courtney Eaton, Abby Lee, and many others).
- This is the first film shot using the new "Primo 70" lenses from "Panavision".
- The weapon used by the deities is called a "battle scepter." In ancient Egypt, it was associated with rulers – gods and pharaohs.
- This is the second collaboration between British actor Rufus Sewell and director Alex Proyas. The first was the film 'Dark City' (1998).
- The deities wear clothing or armor corresponding to their image in ancient Egyptian mythology. Set and Horus’ armor resembles their traditional animal forms of the jackal and falcon, respectively, while Hathor and Thoth’s helmets are shaped like a cow’s head and an ibis.
