Eli5: why do only some actors get the prefix “with” in a movie.

Question

I just finished Glass Onion and at the end credits it had all the actors who were in it but only Kate Hudson and Dave Batista had the prefix of “with” before their name. Is there a reason why only they get it?

Answer 1

Usually someone well established crucial to the plotline while not having a major role but still needs proper billing attention. This is very common with veteran actors making a brief appearance in newer shows with younger, lesser known lead cast.
