Frequent collaborators, Oscar-nominated director of photography Lawrence Sher, production designer Mark Friedberg, and Oscar-winning composer Hildur Guđnadóttir, return to lend their talents to the sequel. New to the team is Oscar-nominated costume designer Arianne Phillips, known for her work on “Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood.”

Lady Gaga additionally contributes as the film’s music consultant, while Jason Ruder takes on the role of executive music producer. The robust production team includes Oscar nominee Emma Tillinger Koskoff and Joseph Garner, ensuring continuity in vision and quality.
