** She's been in two projects created by Creator/AlexGarland; the series ''Devs'' and the movie ''Civil War''. Garland specifically wrote Spaeny's role in ''Civil War'' with her in mind because she impressed him so much on ''Devs'' that he wanted to work with her again.

It was really important for me to have the same actress playing Priscilla at those different stages of her life, and I think Cailee can pull it off. She’s such a strong actress, and she also looks very young."''
