It's a bit part.

She's going to be background filler, with no speaking lines.

Maybe she'll be in one or two frames that we'd have to pause and look for her.

As in ehn... I don't understand why they are celebrating a mere "Waka pass" role, I bet you would not even see her in that movie unless you watch every scene with focus and also be ready to rewind every scene like a million times
