29	* FakeAmerican: Henwick plays these in the majority of her roles: the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, ''Film/TheGrayMan2022'', ''Film/GlassOnion'', ''Film/TheRoyalHotel'', etc.
30	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
31	** Henwick auditioned for the role of Rey in ''Star Wars: Film/TheForceAwakens'', claiming she wanted the part "more than anything in the world”, [[CastTheRunnerUp but was ultimately cast as an X-Wing pilot, Jessika Pava]]. She was due to reprise the role in ''Film/TheLastJedi'' but her appearance was cut, which led to her insisting Creator/RianJohnson make up for it by casting her in ''Film/GlassOnion''.
32	** In 2021 she revealed that she'd been offered the opportunity to audition for Xialing in ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings'', but it meant choosing between that or taking the audition for ''Film/TheMatrixResurrections'', as well as potentially rendering her prior portrayal of Colleen Wing non-canon.
