Behrens first discussed that his team had already done “some work” on the final fight sequence that was originally set to take place in Central Park, “but not an extensive amount:”
“We had done some work on [the original scene], but not an extensive amount, because there were rumblings that they were thinking about changing the ending. So we had done some dev work and I wouldn’t say a lot of shot work on it. But we had done a little bit of dev work because it was supposed to be initially Central Park, in that field area that you saw.”
Behrens then revealed that Morbius director Daniel Espinosa decided to”go a different direction” with the final battle since it was “a bit more dramatic underground:”
“And they just decided that they wanted to go a different direction with the fight, I think [Daniel Espinosa] thought it was a bit more dramatic underground. So we had found these pictures of some of these under construction, subway tunnels that actually exist in New York. And some that have just been sitting there and never finished. And there was these just gigantic caverns with these four tunnels done at the end that each could fit the size of a subway through them.”
