Recalling what she felt after watching Knives Out, Henwick spoke about being impressed with Craig's take on the role of Benoit Blanc which also requires him to tackle a southern accent. Speaking about the same, she said, "When I watched the first film, I laughed, my immediate reaction was like 'What?'"

Jessica and Madelyn spill the tea on on-set murder mystery games, their roles
Working on a multi-starrer like Glass Onion also came with its share of fun and games as the cast indulged in some fun activities on set. Speaking about how different the atmosphere on set was from previous multi-starter projects such as The Matrix: Resurrections, Jessica quipped, "I've done other films in this budget range but they are always action, spectacle or CG. Their focus is just in different places. It was nice to have a change of pace and be like everything is just going to come from the cast. We have to create that spectacle ourselves"
