While the first appearance of Scott Lang's (Paul Rudd) former cellmate and heist comrade Luis (Michael Peña) may not be action-packed or especially meaningful in the full context of the MCU, it sure is one of the funniest character intros in the entire franchise.

After Lang is released from prison at the start of the movie, he's met by Luis, who drives him back to civilisation. On the drive, Scott harmlessly asks, "How's your girl, man?", prompting Luis to give Scott an hilariously depressing run-down of everything that's gone wrong in his life lately.

Luis replies, "Oh, she left me. Yeah, my ma died too. And my dad got deported. But I got the van!" It's totally unexpected and makes it effortlessly clear that he's going to steal every scene he's in.
