Agatha Harkness May Return for Upcoming ‘WandaVision’ Spin-Off
On top of future MCU projects, Kathryn Hahn is reportedly leading the new WandaVision spin-off on Disney+.
It seems like Disney+ has been eyeing Agatha all along. According to Variety, a WandaVision spin-off is reportedly in the works with Kathryn Hahn as the lead and WandaVision head writer Jac Schaeffer as the writer and executive producer for the project.
It’s worth noting that Schaeffer signed a three-year contract with Disney+ earlier this year to develop more Marvel shows for the platform, with this series potentially marking the first of it.
The series has been classified as a dark comedy, which isn’t surprising if you’ve watched the show and are familiar with Agatha’s deceivingly cutting humor. In WandaVision, viewers are first introduced to Agatha as Agnes, Wanda and Vision’s nosy neighbor and confidant.
As the series progresses, it's revealed that Agnes is in fact Agatha Harkness, a powerful witch and master manipulator who wants Wanda’s—a.k.a. Scarlet Witch's—powers for her own. After her defeat in Westview, Agatha reverts back to Agnes under Scarlet Witch’s command to live out the rest of her days.
Following the series’ success, Agatha has since become a favorite among Marvel fans, with many already excited for Kathryn Hahn’s reprise of the character in future MCU projects. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has already teased Hahn’s return to Marvel; when asked when fans are able to see her on the big screen again, he said, “Someday. Someday soon. You will see Kathryn Hahn in Knives Out 2 next, then maybe an assortment of other things. But within the MCU, it can’t come soon enough. Let’s put it that way.”
With the confirmed second season to the Loki series and this new spin-off on the way, it’s clear that fans will be spoiled with content in the years to come. We can only hope to see Agatha interacting with our favorite new characters—Sylvie, Yelena, Kang the Conqueror, and many more—in Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
