Turned the extra on over the weekend, and started watching Soul with my daughter.
On my watch list is Mandalorian S2, WandaVision and will have Falcon & Winter Soldier on when it's out.
Daughter will want to see Raya for sure.

Looking forward to Falcon and Winter Soldier

Watched a bit of the first episode of WandaVision last night.
Didn't realise they were only 30 minutes - will sail through those!

I've become obsessed with WandaVision over the last few weeks and I cannot wait to watch tomorrows series finale. I'm making sure I stay spoiler-free here, but OMG at last weeks cliffhanger. What's this all going to lead to?!

I'm mega looking forward to The Falcon and The Winter Soldier which I reckon is going to be every bit as epic and judging from the trailers, probably have a fair bit more 'oomph' for those used to more traditional Marvel action movies.

Once I finish WandaVision tomorrow, and in between episodes of the above, i'll probably catch up on the Taken movies, The Beach and Gone in 60 Seconds - all fantastic movies and well worth a watch if you haven't seen them.
