People tend to forget that The Incredible Hulk - which starred Ed Norton as Bruce Banner before he was wisely replaced by the likes of Mark Ruffalo - is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it is - and here's the pause moment to prove it! Does the name on that canister sound familiar? Who is Dr. Reinstein?

Well, he's the guy who injects Captain America with the Super Soldier Serum in Captain America: The First Avenger, though in that movie he's working under the alias "Abraham Erskine." What's more, there's even a little nod to "Stark Industries," the infamous company responsible. Eagle-eyed viewers were given a few seconds to appreciate the nod to this character in The Incredible Hulk, but they had to wait until the DVD release to pause the movie in exactly the right place and read it properly. Which they did. A lot.
