Last week's episode brought together plenty of familiar faces, almost making this feel like a good ol' Avengers movie. Almost. On a mission to find out more about the production of the Super-Solider Serum, Bucky comes face-to-face with the incarcerated Baron Zemo - subsequent prison break ensuing.

Next up in our journey down memory lane is Selby. While Bucky brawls in his Winter Solider get-up, Sam takes on the identity of the Smiling Tiger in order to get an audience with Selby and find out what she knows of the serum. Coincidentally - a lot, including the name Dr Wilfred Nagel who has been making some kind of wonder drug. However, when Sam's true identity is unveiled - thanks, sis - things start to turn ugly.

Enter former SHIELD agent, Sharon Carter, who kills Selby and agrees to help them track down Nagel. Turns out the scientist is hiding in a shipping container - where else?

How to save money on Disney+

Disney Plus is already cheaper than competing streaming services like Netflix but you can save even more when you sign up for an annual subscription which gives you 15% off the monthly price. Obviously you have to splash the cash at the start, but with so much content to get stuck in to we very much doubt you'll run out of things to watch before the 12 months are up. You're looking at a mere $79.99/£79.90/AU$119.99 for the year.

Or if your interests are farther reaching (and you're in the US), then we'd seriously suggest looking at the fantastic value bundle package. It adds Hulu and ESPN Plus to your subscription price.

The Hulu element opens up a world of Hulu Originals such as The Great, Upload, Helstrom and Normal People - as well as being the only place to watch Britney Spears documentary right now. Bringing further great value ESPN Plus offers loads of exclusive live sport, highlights and documentaries. The combined bundle costs just $13.99 a month.

What else should I know about Disney+?

Disney Plus is showing no signs of slowing down since the service first launched last November. WandaVision is just the latest in a string of recent blockbuster releases exclusive to the platform, including Soul, The Mandalorian, Mulan, Hamilton, and much more.

The streaming service has apps for iOS and Android (of course), and is available to watch online via the likes of Amazon Fire TV Stick, PS4, Xbox One and Roku streaming devices.

Also, now that Disney has set the precedent of releasing its live-action Mulan remake on the service instead of in theaters through its Premiere Access program, expect the company to keep bring more blockbuster films that were originally intended to be shown on the big screen to Disney Plus in 2021 - it's the place to watch Raya and the Last Dragon right now, for instance.

And finally, there's the new Star on Disney Plus that most global markets get to enjoy and sees the amount of content available through Disney Plus more than double, with a particular eye to shows grown-ups are going to enjoy. It costs a tiny bit more, but is worth it based on our initial impressions - and you can still save big by going with an annual subscription.
