The movie is dedicated to the memory of Tony Todd.
Franchise fans know him as William Bludworth of FD1, FD2, FD5 and now FDB, horror fans know him as a bunch of other characters.
As a Star Trek fan, I know him as Old Man Jake in DS9 and Worf's brother Kurn in TNG, and I just learned he was also the Moclan ambassador in honorary Trek series The Orville.
69 is not a fair age to die. It was stomach cancer, and he was already dying as he committed to playing a part in this movie honoring his previous work. He passed away in November last year, soon after performing for this film.
We thank you, Mr. Todd. ❤️😥
