Did You Catch The ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT Character Hidden in AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR?
You may or may not have seen an Arrested Development character that was hidden in Avengers: Infinity War. While I didn't notice it watching the movie, as the credits rolled at the end of the there are a bunch of the usual courtesy legalese. One of the things that is mentioned here is "Character from Arrested Development appears courtesy of 20th Century Fox."
Well, it turns out that "Tobias Funke" appears, covered in blue paint, with a mustache, and wearing cutoffs. You can get a look at the character in the image below with him in one of The Collector's collection pods. This is obviously not David Cross, but it's still cool that the Russo Bros. threw this in the movie.
In case you don't remember, in Arrested Development Season 2, Tobias realizes that the Blue Man Group is his dream job. So he paints his body blue in the hopes of getting hired by the group. The fact that his skin is painted blue makes him a perfect addition to The Collector's collection!
For those of you who don't know, Joe and Anthony Russo worked on Arrested Development in the early part of their careers. This also isn't the only time that they included an Arrested Development Easter egg in a Marvel film. In Captain America: Civil War they included a Bluth family stair car in the background of one the fight scenes.
