(#2) Garrett Morris' Car - When Scott Shrinks For The First Time
While there aren’t many celebrity cameos in the first Ant-Man film, fans of Saturday Night Live and 2 Broke Girls will notice that the cab Scott eventually lands on during his first shrinking experience belongs to actor/comedian Garrett Morris who first portrayed Ant-Man in live-action – as part of a superhero costume party skit on SNL.

(#3) The Ten Rings - When Darren Cross Is Selling The Yellowjacket Suit
It wouldn’t be a true tale of Marvel Universe terrorism without a shout out to The Ten Rings. They're the group responsible for kidnapping Tony Stark in Iron Man, and the group headed by the Mandarin. When Darren Cross is shown entertaining potential buyers for his Yellowjacket armor, one man can be seen with the group’s logo tattooed on his neck. -
(#4) The New Avengers Shout Out - When Scott Breaks Into Stark Industries
When Lang pays a visit to the New Avengers facility seen at the end of Age Of Ultron, we discover that it was an old Stark Industries building before being converted, which makes sense. But Lang also gets a taste of fighting super dudes when he tangles the newest Avenger, Falcon. And he wins! Not the best way to start your career off, Falcon.

(#6) Eternity - During Scott's Trip To The Quantum Realm
During Scott's trip to the quantum realm there was an outline of somebody or something seen. It was extremely quick and easy to miss, but Ant-Man director Peyton Reed confirmed something was there. Considering Ant-Man's story, it is likely a reference to the trapped Janet van Dyne but there's another possibility: Eternity. The Marvel character represents all time in the universe. As Scott shrunk down to what seemed to be a horrid fate, Hank Pym's voice spoke in his head, reiterating the word, "Eternity," which may turn out not to be a coincidence. -
(#7) Gi-Ant - When Scott Makes A Dog-Sized Ant
Toward the end of the film, with the help of some size-changing discs we begin to see the Ant-Man crew exploring the world of making small things large, including a Thomas the Tank train and an ant the size of a dog. This somewhat foreshadows the news/rumors that Ant-Man will be turning into Giant-Man in Civil War (That's pronounced Gi...Ant-Man).

(#9) The Microverse - When Scott Shrinks Down The Quantum Realm
The Subatomic Realm shown in Ant-Man is actually a direct reference to Marvel's Microverse: a realm that Hank Pym describes as being outside the reality of time and space, and where Scott Lang seems to catch instant amnesia. With the fact that reality, time, space, and presumably mind (four of the six infinity stones) have no real bounds in the Microverse, could this be the MCU's answer to escaping the power of the Infinity Gauntlet? Or is it their way of saying that we should watch out for a Micronauts movie in Stage 4?

(#10) The Accords - During The Post Credit Sequence
During that final Winter Soldier sequence, when Sam suggests they call Tony, Cap mentions "the accords" - a phrase that suggests that the legislation keeping Steve and Tony from working together in policing superhumans is already in place. A massive hint at how the “Civil War” storyline will be adapted to the MCU, pitting the two heroes against each other.

(#13) The Winter Soldier - During The Post Credit Sequence
The final post-credits sequence offers a twist that viewers who aren't steeped in the Marvel canon may not register. It’s actually a scene taken from the upcoming Civil War, in which Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers capture the Winter Soldier (i.e. Bucky Barnes). We don't know how the scene will fit into the larger movie, but offers a tease of Marvel’s next phase nonetheless.

(#14) No Thanks, Avengers - When Scott Suggests Calling In The Super Team
Before he fully accepts his fate as Ant-Man, Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang suggests calling in The Avengers to take care of things. But Hank Pym is as suspicious of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes as he is of Shield. Saying that they're probably too busy “dropping cities from the sky,” which is of course a reference to the events of Age of Ultron. R.I.P Sokovia. =[

(#15) It's A Small World After All - During Luis' Stint As A Security Guard
Although his partners warn him not to, Luis can’t help but whistle to blend in when pretending to be a Pym Tech security guard. The tune he whistles should be familiar to every Disney fan, as the theme song to “It’s a Small World (After All)," the infamous water ride seen at every major Disney park and resort.
-
(#16) The Wasp - During Hank's Flashback
Since The Avengers was announced, people have been looking for Ant-Man and The Wasp. They are founding members of the team and it makes sense. A flashback in the film shows us how Hank’s wife, Janet van Dyne, seemingly sacrificed herself years earlier when preventing a nuclear attack. Also, at the end, Hank's daughter is even given her own suit.
-
(#19) San Quentin State Prison - When Scott Is Released From Prison
After an oddly intense online debate about where Scott would be incarcerated, it was revealed that Lang was being kept in San Quentin State Prison, which once kept another Marvel comic hero: Punisher.
-
(#20) Mitchell Carson - During Hank's Meeting With Shield
When Hank Pym meets with Shield, there's a third character in the room that doesn't get as much screen time: Mitchell Carson. In the Ant-Man comics, Mitchell is a creep who was meant to take over the Ant-Man suit for Shield -- the suit that actually ended up in the hands of the third Ant-Man, Eric O'Grady. Mitchell Carson in the film varies wildly from his comic book counterpart, but they're both jerks.
