I love this! This WandaVision poster is brilliant. Given what we know of the series, meaning that it's inspired by different sitcoms throughout the ages, the static wave like ripples on the image screams TV.

I randomly stumbled upon this movie. I mean I was looking at another film of Charlize Theron's (Atomic Blonde) when The Old Guard came on my radar. It's not an intellectual property that I'm familiar with but the cast and the premise were enough to put in my "to-watch list."

I grew up on Mangas rather than Comic books, and "Ghost in the Shell" by Shirow Masamune has always been a property that I was aware of but never actually read or saw.
