If there are editors who have thoughts as to whether the above credit should or should not be added to the cast list, please provide them here. To me, "Secret Service #2" is clearly a non-principal role that should not be added. Thanks! DonIago (talk) 00:13, 26 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

It has been a while since this article was reviewed, so I took a look and noticed lots of uncited statements in the "Comics" section. There is also no prose about the film's soundtrack. Should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 17:09, 15 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Empty sections and unsourced statements do not follow 2. or 3. of the GA criteria. Floating Orb Talk! ^{my edits} 00:52, 20 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
