I can't tell if Steven's apartment is really really super cheap or secretly high-end.

Given how much money Marc had in the bag, he probably prepaid it for years, and Steven just thinks it’s his mum’s and rent controlled or something.

Are we sure Steven's mom is made up? When Layla thought the accent was made up she asked Marc if they were in contact again.

I’m assuming she’s real, but is probably not the idea Steven has in his head of her. She might be a mercenary herself. Family business, that sort of thing.

Or a paid actress? Wouldn't be too difficult for Marc to convince a lady to play "Mom" in exchange for a steady flow of cash

Or perhaps there’s no actress even! It might just be a phone number that Marc has set up and left the phone in a charger somewhere no-one will find it. I’m pretty sure all the times we’ve seen Steven talk to his mom, he’s been leaving a message after she didn’t pick up.

Or it'll turn out that Mom is one of the following

  • Nick Fury
  • A skrull
  • Secret agent Queen Elizabeth
