2. The Arrested Development Stair Chair - Captain America: Civil War

Sometimes Easter Eggs are so purely enjoyable, but fiendishly well hidden that the discovery creates an out-pouring from fans. Such was the case with Captain America: Civil War, which had a fine tribute to Arrested Development in its best.

During the climactic airport battle, the film-makers hid the iconic Stair Chair vehicle in the background, suggesting rather oddly that the MCU shares a universe with the acerbic, genius programme. The suggestion sent thousands of MCU fans to the pause button once the film came out on blu-ray too, as they sought to spot the vehicle for themselves.

The inclusion was obviously a nod back to the Russos directing several episodes of AD back in the day, including its pilot.
