Civil War directors Anthony and Joe Russo got their big break working on TV comedy series such as Arrested Development, and decided to pay a small but hilarious tribute to the beloved show by including one of its most famous props in Civil War's iconic airport battle.

Though it's entirely possible for even the most hardcore Arrested fan to watch this sequence many times over without noticing it, there are countless shots where the Bluth Company stair car is visible just hanging out in the background.

Now, the company logo is different, yes, but the paint motif is exactly the same, so there's no doubt that this was intended as a wink of the eye for those who've been following the Russos' work for many years. Arrested Development is officially part of the MCU? Alright then.
