The latest iteration of ComicBook.com’s #QuarantineWatchParty featured Marvel stars David Dastmalchian and Abby Ryder Fortson as MCU faithful around the world joined together to watch Ant-Man. The Paul Rudd-starring flick first debuted five years ago this summer and as the norm with massive Marvel blockbusters, all kinds of awesome behind-the-scenes tidbits continue surfacing years later. We’ve compiled some of the coolest tidbits shared by both Dastmalchian and Fortson, which you can find below.

Pro Tip: Prepare for Disappointment
Probably the hardest thing at first was coming to accept that the audition to booking ratio was so overwhelmingly depressing. If an actor goes on 100 auditions and books ONE, they’re doing pretty great!

Lots of Practical Work
Hm not sure we shot in real houses-they build a lot of real sets!

Kurt Wants to Be Morbius
There is a character in the MCU that I dream about almost every day. There used to be TWO roles I dreamed about every day but then they announced that #Morbius was being cast… I still have hope for the other one, tho.
