Security is Tight on Set
Ineson mentioned that the level of confidentiality on the set is nothing short of impressive. Even though he jokingly expressed a wish to take home the iconic helmet as a memento, Ineson assured fans that security is so tight that acquiring any props from the set would be an impossible feat.
