Blizzard revealed Overwatch's newest hero, Wrecking Ball last week and, to most people's surprise, he was a hamster called Hammond driving a mech. But that surprise might have been lessened if we'd spotted a possible clue that's been visible since the earliest public versions of the game.

For more on Ant-Man and the Wasp, be sure to also check out our Ending Explained feature or the WTF Questions we have about the film!

This story contains spoilers for Marvel's Ant-Man and the Wasp and Avengers: Infinity War.

Ant-Man and The Wasp continues the longstanding Marvel Cinematic Universe tradition of post-credits scenes - the film has two in total, one midway through the credits and one at the very end - but unlike most of the previous Marvel movies, where the stingers were playful bonus scenes or Easter eggs for comic book fans, you'll be missing out on a major plot twist if you decide to leave the theater as soon the movie ends... mostly because Scott, Hope and Cassie's miniaturized drive-in movie night isn't really the end of the movie.
