6. Michael Peña & Randall Park Steal The Show

To the surprise of just about nobody who saw the original movie, Michael Peña once again steals the show as Scott Lang's (Rudd) chatterbox pal Luis.

Though Luis is surprisingly absent from large chunks of the first act, his memorable one-liners steal away significant sequences in the latter two reels, especially when he's injected with a truth serum and goes on a verbal diarrhoea rampage.

That's not to forget the presence of Randall Park, who plays FBI agent Jimmy Woo, the man responsible for monitoring Lang's house arrest. He's not in the movie all that much, but his scenes opposite Rudd explode with awkward hilarity, with the pair demonstrating easy, hysterical comedic chemistry.

If a third Ant-Man movie happens - which, let's be honest, it will - Woo needs to be shoehorned in there somehow.
