After Scott Lang's disastrous first test run of the Ant-Man suit in Ant-Man, he lands on top of a cab driver's car, still ant sized. When Scott grows back to full sized, he creates a large indent on top of the car, causing the cab driver to look up in confusion.

The cab driver was played by comedian and actor Garrett Morris. Morris is best known for being a member of the original roster of Saturday Night Live, appearing from 1975-1980.

In one vintage SNL sketch called "Superhero Party," Superman hosts a gathering for his superheroic friends. Morris appears in the sketch as Ant-Man, as the other superheroes make fun of him for having the strength of a just normal man. However, Morris was technically the first actor to ever potray Ant-Man on screen, so he was brought back for the 2015 film.
