They even have a clip of Moonraker in the film in case anyone thought these homages weren't intentional!
Also Florence Pugh is excellent as she is in most films so it's good she'll be part of the MCU in future.

The Moonraker clip was most certainly a hat-tip towards the Bond franchise, no doubt chosen as it also prefigures the location of the Red Room. There were a couple of other places where I recall thinking that they had inserted an homage or two, maybe a line in the music or dialogue, but I’ll have to see it again to remember. IIRC it should become free to regular Disney subscribers in 3-4 months.
