On the latest episode of What Do You Wanna Watch? Ashley asked the crew what movie they were hoping to be able to see in 2021. With a large number of 2020 films delayed to this year as well as films that were originally slated for this year, there was a lot to choose from. Hopefully, we’re actually able to see them in cinemas this year and not have them delayed again.

We should all know Dylan is a big Fast and Furious fan. We’ve been waiting well over a year since it was meant to come out. Not only is it a Fast and Furious movie but it is the return of Justin Lin in the director’s seat and he does all of the best ones in the franchise. And you’ve got my boy Han returning from the dead like a motherfucking ghost!
