Rather than frequently portraying leading roles or love interests, Jackie, 50, typically appears in smaller parts. Notable examples include playing a dentist in 50 First Dates, an angel in Little Nicky, and making a cameo in Just Go With It. In Grown Ups, she portrayed Richie Minervini's wife. Sandler has also cast their daughters, Sadie and Sunny, in several of his projects, reflecting his preference for involving family in his creative work.

Fans on social media have expressed surprise and admiration upon learning about Jackie's recurring roles. One user called it 'legend behaviour,' while another commented, 'Only a good man wants his wife to succeed.' Some have compared her appearances to Easter eggs for viewers to spot.
Sandler, 58, has previously spoken about working with Jackie, whom he married in 2003. While promoting Murder Mystery in 2019, he addressed how his wife reacts to his on-screen kisses. Speaking to the Associated Press, he shared: 'The only awkward part is hearing my wife on the side going, 'Harder! Harder! Kiss her harder! Deeper!''
He added that Jackie and their daughters enjoy watching his films and support his co-stars. 'They love Aniston, and they want her to have good things and they say, 'Give her something nice,'' Sandler said.

Mikey Madison and Jeremy Allen White eyed for lead roles in 'The Social Network Part II'
Mikey Madison and Jeremy Allen White are reportedly Aaron Sorkin's top choices to lead The Social Network Part II, a follow-up to the acclaimed 2010 film. While no official offers have been made, insiders say the Oscar and Emmy-winning actors are Sorkin's preferred picks for the lead roles in the upcoming Sony Pictures project. The sequel, which is currently in development, is not a direct continuation of the first film but a new chapter inspired by The Facebook Files, a Wall Street Journal investigation that exposed internal practices and harms linked to Facebook. Madison is expected to play the whistleblower central to the story, while White is in line to portray journalist Jeff Horowitz. Sorkin, who won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for The Social Network, is returning to write and direct. The production team includes Todd Black, Peter Rice, Stuart Besser, and Sorkin himself. Sony Pictures has not commented on casting or plot details. Released in 2010 and based on Ben Mezrich's The Accidental Millionaires, the original film received eight Oscar nominations and grossed $226 million globally. The upcoming film will cover broader themes than its predecessor, focusing on Facebook's influence beyond the US, including its impact on elections, young users, and global safety. According to sources, this is not a film about the January 6 Capitol events but a critical look at digital power and responsibility.

‘My Best Friend's Wedding' sequel in development with Celine Song as scriptwriter
A sequel to My Best Friend's Wedding, the 1997 romantic comedy starring Julia Roberts, is officially in early development at Sony Pictures. Acclaimed writer-director Celine Song has been brought on board to write the screenplay. Song, known for her critically praised features Materialists and Past Lives, is not currently attached to direct. The news follows comments from Dermot Mulroney, who starred in the original film, suggesting that 'there is talk of a sequel.' Speaking to the New York Post, Mulroney said, 'I know nothing about it. Last I heard, quote, lawyers were talking, unquote.' Celine Song's involvement adds prestige to the developing project. Her debut film Past Lives earned Oscar nominations for original screenplay and best picture, while her latest, Materialists, a romantic triangle starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal, grossed $50 million globally after its June release through A24. The original film, directed by P.J. Hogan, follows Roberts as a food critic who realises she's in love with her best friend, played by Mulroney, after he announces his engagement. Attempting to sabotage the wedding, she finds herself navigating complex emotions and comic situations. The film also featured Cameron Diaz and Rupert Everett and earned $127 million at the North American box office, ranking ninth in domestic grosses for 1997. It received three Golden Globe nominations and has since remained a fan favourite.
