At the event, Jessica opened up about starring in her first movie in nine years. The last film she was on screen in was Shock and Awe in 2017.

“Getting back into the film industry has been something that I’ve been really excited about doing,” she told People. “It has to be right timing, it has to be the right thing.”

“I have little kids, you know, there’s a lot of elements that go into a decision, for me at least,” Jessica added. “I just was inspired by this cast, was inspired by these cars and the nostalgia. I wanted to do something in the action space again, and this just seemed like the right thing. I was really excited to be a part of it.”
