Ant-Man And The Wasp: 21 Easter Eggs & References Explained

10. Once Upon A Time

When Ghost introduces herself to Scott, he asks her, "You're not gonna reach into my chest and crush my heart, are you?", which certainly feels like a pointed reference to the ABC fantasy show Once Upon a Time, where that very activity was a regular occurrence.

The gag is either subtly suggesting that Scott was so bored he started watching the show during his house arrest, or he perhaps watched it with Cassie during father-daughter time.

It's also hard not to feel like the line is further underlining Scott's fear of having his body invaded, after Vision (Paul Bettany) famously phased through his body in Captain America: Civil War, much to Scott's horror.
