Ant-Man: 13 Obscure Easter Eggs & References You Probably Missed
4. The Very Familiar Lasers
Given the fact that Disney have acquired Star Wars, you'd sort of expect them to be telling everyone as often as they can, and trotting out their fully licensed characters and trademarks to make sure they get their money's worth. In that regard, their so far limited nods and references in Marvel movies has been somewhat surprising.
But, there are a couple of references in Ant-Man. There's definitely something of the Death Star in the plan to break into Pym Tech and foil Darren Cross' evil plans to be a corporate cliche - not least in the look of the plans - but there's also something more sneaky.
When Cross eventually goes full mental and puts his Yellowjacket suit on, his lasers sound distinctly like Star Wars blasters. The sound effect was actually lifted from an AT-AT's laser cannon.
