Agatha All Along solid: confirmed and rumored

Full spoilers observe for WandaVision. Potential Agatha All Along spoilers are additionally mentioned.

Here’s the confirmed solid checklist for Agatha All Along to this point:

• Kathryn Hahn as Agatha Harkness
• Aubrey Plaza as Rio Vidal
• Joe Locke as Teen/Billy Kaplan
• Patti LuPone as Lilia Calderu
• Sasheer Zamata as Jennifer Kale
• Ali Ahn as Alice
• Kate Forbes as Evanora Harkness
• Debra Jo Rupp as Sharon Davies
• Emma Caulfield Ford as Sarah Proctor
• David Lengel as Harold Proctor
• David Payton as John Collins
• Asif Ali as Alibash Tandon
• Paul Adelstein as TBC
• Miles Gutierrez-Riley as TBC
• Okwui Okpokwasili as TBC
• Maria Dizzia as TBC

Everyone as much as and together with Forbes will play a darkish magic wielder. Those as much as and together with Ali reprise their WandaVision roles as 5 Westview residents who had been trapped within the New Jersey city by Wanda Maximoff.

Of the named magic customers, Forbes’ Evanora, LuPone’s Lilia, and Plaza’s Rio are the one ones with ties to Hahn’s Agatha. Evanora is Agatha’s mother and the chief of the Harkness coven of witches, who appeared in WandaVision episode 8’s 1693-set sequence. Agatha killed Evanora throughout that scene, so the latter’s look right here will possible be in one other flashback. Meanwhile, Lilia is a 450-year-old Sicilian witch who can see into the long run, whereas Rio is a warrior witch who, within the comics, is Agatha’s on-off love curiosity.

According to LuPone (per Entertainment Weekly (EW)), Locke’s Teen is a Familiar, aka a person with supernatural skills. Speaking to Rolling Stone, Locke claims that is his character’s actual identify, however this appears to be a entrance to his actual id, which we consider to be Billy, i.e. considered one of Wanda’s sons who’s one way or the other been reborn.

Billy’s possible presence in Agatha All Along has generated loads of dialogue amongst Marvel followers as a result of, effectively, he died (learn: disintegrated) in WandaVision alongside twin brother Tommy. The pair had been the fabricated offspring of Wanda and Vision (he was additionally a make-believe model of the deceased synthezoid {that a} grief-stricken Wanda created following Vision’s loss of life in Avengers: Infinity War). But, if Agatha‘s Billy is similar Billy we noticed in WandaVision, that raises questions on how he survived.

Billy, Agatha, Rio, Evanora, and Lilia shall be joined on the darkish magic-wielding entrance by two different magic customers: Ahn’s Alice and Zamata’s Kale. In the comics, the latter is a a sorceress who’s a part of one other mystical group generally known as the Cult of Zhered-Na, nevertheless it’s unclear if this group will cameo. There are rumors, nevertheless, {that a} rival witch faction referred to as The Salem Seven will seem, and it appears this gang has been teased in a few latest TV spots.

Lastly, there’s hypothesis that Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda might additionally unexpectedly cameo, relying on how the story performs out. Speaking of which (or ought to that be talking of witch)…

Agatha All Along story synopsis and hypothesis

Major spoilers observe for WandaVision. Potential Agatha All Along spoilers are additionally mentioned.

Here’s the present’s official plot synopsis: “In Agatha All Along, the notorious Agatha Harkness finds herself down and out of energy after a suspicious goth Teen helps break her free from a distorted spell. Her curiosity is piqued when he begs her to take him on the legendary Witches’ Road, a magical gauntlet of trials that, if survived, rewards a witch with what they’re lacking. Together, Agatha and this mysterious Teen pull collectively a determined coven, and set off down, down, down The Road…”

Before we get into gentle spoiler territory, the present’s solid and crew have supplied further clues on its narrative. Speaking on the Official Marvel Podcast, Marvel’s Head of TV and Streaming Brad Winderbaum supplied recent particulars on quite a few Disney Plus exhibits, together with Agatha All Along. Of its plot, he mentioned: “Agatha is admittedly enjoyable, nevertheless it’s actually scary and it will get fairly dramatic. She’s a tremendous anti-hero and that present… it lures you in with the enjoyable of Halloween and, earlier than you realize it, you are crying. I’ll simply put it that approach. It’s additionally a Marvel model of scary. It’s a Halloween present, there are lethal stakes within the sequence, it is a enjoyable journey, nevertheless it’s a harmful one.”

Elaborating to Rolling Stone, Locke claimed it is stuffed with “magic, enjoyable, and thriller”, earlier than including in an Empire journal interview that it is akin to Marvel’s darkish, twisted model of The Goonies. Locke additionally instructed Total Film that the sequence took inspiration from, and even references, traditional horror productions, reminiscent of Rosemary’s Baby and The Exorcist.

Anyone who’s seen WandaVision will know the way and why Agatha is trapped in a magical actuality, not in contrast to the one Wanda crafted post-Endgame. But, when you want a refresher, our WandaVision finale deep-dive piece gives extra particulars.

Based on what the beforehand referenced plot synopsis and trailers, this rumored plot is correct and Agatha escapes from her fabricated ‘nightmare’. In the primary teaser, we see Agatha claw her approach out of Wanda’s spell because of Plaza’s Rio. Ordinarily, it will be simple for somebody along with her energy degree to take action, however Wanda stripped Agatha of her darkish magic skills in WandaVision episode 9. 

As such, it’s going to apparently take her a while to totally snap out of her false actuality – outstanding MCU leaker CanWeGetSomeToast (per Marvel News Films on X/Twitter)  claiming three years could have handed between WandaVision‘s remaining episode and Agatha All Along‘s premiere. Agatha might want to shed her WandaVision costumes as a part of her escape effort as effectively, based on CGWST.

As for the “unlikely associates” she’ll have to spherical as much as assist her regain her skills, they’re the witches we have talked about all through this information. Indeed, the depowered enchantress must traverse The Witches’ Road, a life-threatening aircraft of existence that solely sorcerers can tread.Clearly, Agatha might want to assemble her personal coven to not solely hold her protected on mentioned journey, but in addition assist her navigate it with their powers and experience. 

Speaking to Empire journal, showrunner/govt producer Jac Schaeffer confirmed this “disparate, blended bag of witches”, all of whom are “covenless” and self-serving like Agatha, will be a part of the untrustworthy titular character on her quest to get her powers again. The similar article seemingly confirms Rupp’s Debra, who was solely considered a Westview resident, can be a witch. Interesting, very fascinating…

Anyway, to be able to journey to this alternate dimension, Agatha and her bewitching crew may have to make use of a traditional witch trope. An picture (posted on the Scarlet Witch Updates X/Twitter account) from Disney’s 2024 Upfronts presentation exhibits Agatha and firm flying on broomsticks. There’s no phrase on whether or not there will be, say, a black cat or a cauldron hooked up to their traditional technique of transportation, although.

But we digress. There’ll be callbacks to earlier MCU tasks in Agatha All Along, together with Doctor Strange 2 and (clearly) WandaVision, and there will be some musical parts, too. Indeed, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, who penned the massively common ‘Agatha All Along’ from WandaVision episode 7, which stormed the music charts in early 2022, have written new musical numbers for it, considered one of which – titled ‘The Witches’ Road’ – was carried out in full at D23 Expo 2024 (see above). It sounds prefer it’ll be as catchy and earworm-inducing as its WandaVision counterpart, too.

Other story-based rumors have circulated on-line within the lead-up to the sequence’ launch, however we’ll chorus from mentioning any main ones we have seen to protect a few of its largest mysteries. We do not have lengthy to attend now, so why spoil the enjoyable so near launch?

Will Agatha All Along arrange future Marvel films and TV exhibits?

It’s potential. Marvel continues to be centered on telling its Multiverse Saga, which started in Phase 4, continues in Phase 5, and ends with Marvel Phase 6. That hasn’t stopped the comedian large from branching out and telling standalone tales which have few to no ties to its overarching multiverse narrative, although.

So, which films or exhibits may be spun out of Agatha All Along? There’s just one undertaking whose occasions could possibly be set in movement by it: an untitled, second WandaVision spin-off that’ll star Paul Bettany as White Vision, which might arrive someday in 2026 (per Variety).

If Billy Kaplan is similar one we noticed in WandaVision, and if he survives the occasions of Agatha All Along, we suspect he’ll embark on an journey to trace down White Vision – the closest factor he has to Vision, aka his ‘delivery’ father – and/or his twin brother Tommy, to hunt their assist in discovering Wanda, aka Billy and Tommy’s mother. She was final seen in Doctor Strange 2, the place she seemingly perished after destroying the Darkhold and Mount Wundagore. However, we did not really see her die and, given Wanda’s recognition amongst MCU followers, it would not be within the studio’s greatest pursuits to consign her to the MCU’s historical past books. 

There are only a few particulars on this present, nevertheless it might very effectively adapt the ‘Avengers: Children’s Crusade’ comedian sequence, which sees Billy, Tommy, and different members of the Young Avengers seek for Wanda/The Scarlet Witch. There’s been hypothesis {that a} Young Avengers undertaking has been in improvement for a while at Marvel Studios – if it nonetheless is, might or not it’s based mostly on ‘Children’s Crusade’ and be introduced post-Agatha All Along? Let’s hope so. Either approach, anticipate some extra information to floor on this White Vision-focused sequence as soon as the Agatha-led present attracts to a detailed.
