* ProductionPosse: Óscar Faura (cinematography), Belén Atienza (producer), Fernando Velázquez (music composer) and Bernat Vilaplana (film editor) who worked with Bayona since ''Film/TheOrphanage''. Geraldine Chaplin has a very small role as Conor's headmaster and Tom Holland made some small stand-in appearances for the Monster in a few scenes. Most of them went to work again with Bayona in his next film: ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom''.

* TheOtherMarty: The film's teaser trailer for the Spanish dub had Salvador Vidal, who is the main voice actor for Liam Neeson since ''Film/SchindlersList'', as the voice of the Monster. The next teaser had Creator/MiguelAngelJenner and the third trailer had Camilo García (main voice actor for Creator/AnthonyHopkins and Creator/HarrisonFord among many others) who went for the final role and previously voiced [[RetroactiveRecognition a then unknown Neeson]] in ''Film/TheBounty''. While it's unknown the reasons of the creators' decision, it was probably done to give the Monster a rough voice like Garcí instead of Vidal's soft baritone voice.
