The real Edward Snowden will make a cameo in Snowden

Director Oliver Stone, and stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Shailene Woodley were part of a Hall H panel at Comic Con and were joined by Snowden himself via Google Hangouts. It was revealed that the real Snowden will make an appearance in a scene at the end of the film.

Snowden praised the performances of the cast and crew, and spoke about the tone and approach that the film takes. "I don't think there's a lot of fictionalization in the film," Snowden said. "There's a lot of composition. In my career I was bouncing around from city to city a lot — I was literally all over the map.
