13 Major Revelations And Hints From The Ant-Man Trailer

5. There's A Terrorist Sub-Plot

Obviously Trevor was Seagate's most famous (or infamous) former resident, and though it would be preferable in some eyes to simply wipe away that entire arc out of the MCU, the fact that the real Ten Rings abducted him suggests that they have some sort of presence in the prison. That is somewhat confirmed by the fact that the IMDB page for Ant-Man lists one character (played by Rod Hallett) as simply "Ten Rings", and it would fit in with Ant-Man's need to tie in with the wider MCU in a fairly loose sort of way at first. So, how will the Ten Rings be involved with Hank Pym's heist plot? Could it be that Cross is working with the Ten Rings to develop nefarious technology? Is that what Pym has discovered? The trailer suggests that some sort of SWAT team attack happens in the film against a villain strong-hold, and it would make sense that it's the terrorist group, especially since zooming in on the brief shot reveals a familiar motif...
Crossed weapons. Remember, a similar symbol has already appeared in the MCU... Quite how it all fits together isn't yet clear, but it would make sense that Yellowjacket is linked to the Ten Rings in some way, and that Scott Lang knows what they represent from his time in Seagate.
