Blink and you'll miss it, but you'll be sorry you did because this Ant-Man outtake features a sneaky nod to Iron Man and perhaps even the future of the MCU.

The scene in question gives us a closer look inside the evil Darren Cross's lab as he shows off his shrinking technology to potential buyers.

So far, so filler - but wait a minute, what's with that tattoo on the guy's neck?

On close scrutiny, it appears that one of said potential buyers has a 10 Rings tattoo on his neck, hinting that the terrorist organisation which kidnapped Tony Stark in the original Iron Man is still at large in the MCU.

The scene comes with a commentary track from director Peyton Reed and star Paul Rudd on the Ant-Man Blu-ray, during which Rudd says the tattoo actually depicts Olympic Rings, but we're not buying that for a second, mostly because he's joking.
