While I did catch the reference of him once having worked for FedEx, I didn't think of it as a continuity error since he might have done that more than once, and not just in the one cameo he had in Cap: Civil War.

In terms of rights, it's also interesting how Gunn managed to use the Watchers species, but no Uatu who is still owned by Fox. Which isn't the only missed opportunity for him, since he wanted to use Annihilus as well.
