Quinn quipped, "Is it out?" His Warfare co-star Kit Connor teased, "You should know that." The Fantastic Four: The First Steps star went on to add, "It's the 26th; it comes out, no?" Later, when reminded the show had been out for a while, he sincerely said, "Yes, he's amazing. I miss Dustin too. I love Gaten Matarazzo." The actor's evasiveness with the question led fans to believe that he was avoiding talking about the show because he didn't want to give anything away.
