MCU: 10 Fascinating Facts Behind Ant-Man (2015)

4. The Half-Way House Gag

This is by no means a huge revelation, but thanks to one eagle-eyed Reddit user, there's a great little gag in Ant-Man that has mostly gone overlooked since its release.

On his release from prison, Scott is sent to a halfway house for a while as he reintegrates and so the justice system can continue to keep an eye on him. The address of that halfway house is notable not only for the fact that it's called the Milgrom Hotel, in honour of Marvel artist Al Milgrom, but also because of the number it has on its awning: 420.

That's half of the door number of the address of Scott's family home: 840. Nice little gag that.
