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.

If you're the next Quarantine Watch Party, it's a painless process. Get the movie we're watching ready to go and at the desired time, press play. For the next few hours, you can live-tweet the movie alongside thousands of like-minded individuals using the #QuarantineWatchParty hashtag on Twitter. The next movie on tap for the movement is Warner Brothers' Shazam! and we'll have director David F. Sandberg and four stars from the flick joining us Wednesday night, April 1st.

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.
