  • Hoult revealed they used a staggering 5,000 rats on set, some of which were trained, though he quipped 'there were certain pockets of them that were just untrained rats'.
  • Co-star Bill Skarsgård had a particularly unpleasant experience, being locked in a sarcophagus filled with rats and maggots, with Hoult having to repeatedly push the sarcophagus and accidentally disturbing Skarsgård's scenes.
