We haven't seen Agatha Harkness since the Scarlet Witch left her trapped in Westview; however, the character will make her long-awaited MCU return in Disney+'s Agatha All Along this September.

Thanks to Total Film, we have a new look at the show in a still that puts Kathryn Hahn, Joe Locke, Patti Lupone, Ali Ahn, Sasheer Zamata, and Debra Jo Rupp front and centre. 

There's something weird going on with Rupp's WandaVision character and we're still wondering what she's doing here because that series did nothing to suggest she might have magical powers. 

"It was a pleasure to work with Aubrey [Plaza] because she's so funny and such a live wire, and she's so unpredictable in the best way," Agatha All Along creator Jac Schaeffer tells the publication. "All of that is thrilling and funny, but also she's so interested in going as deep as she possibly can in any scenario, even if it's comedic."

While the show looks set to embrace horror, the WandaVision Head Writer was quick to add that fans should also, "Get ready for some songs."

Check out this new look at Agatha All Along in the X post below.

Agatha All Along focuses on Kathryn Hahn's character, Agatha Harkness, from the acclaimed Marvel Studios' series WandaVision, as she sets off on a dangerous, mysterious adventure filled with trials and tribulations. Showrunner Jac Schaeffer, who was the creative force behind WandaVision, directs the pilot episode.

In the series, the infamous Agatha Harkness finds herself down and out of power after a suspicious goth Teen helps break her free from a distorted spell. Her interest 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 missing.

Together, Agatha and this mysterious Teen pull together a desperate coven, and set off down, down, down The Road. 

In addition to Hahn, Agatha All Along stars Joe Locke, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, Maria Dizzia, Paul Adelstein, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Okwui Okpokwasili, with Debra Jo Rupp, with Patti LuPone, and Aubrey Plaza. The executive producers are Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum,  Mary Livanos and Jac Schaeffer. The directors for the series include Jac Schaeffer, Rachel Goldberg and Gandja Montiero.

Agatha All Along premieres on September 18 at 6pm PT/9pm ET, with the first two episodes, exclusively on Disney+.

Honestly don't even know what Marvel is expecting out of this one. Will be very surprised if it doesn't fail. Hope Aubrey isn't wasted here, wish they had given her a bigger character and franchise. Maybe something like Lilith or Satana.

@Urubrodi - I would love if they did Satana. Sidney Sweeney could be a good choice for Satana

@Urubrodi - I am as sure this will fail as I was that Ms marvel and the marvels would fail. Both 100%!

@Matchesz - that would be me. Maybe, just maybe, Marvel is trying to expand their audience by casting a wide net instead of hitting the specific target of people who know the source material intimately.

@Matchesz - Some do. Comics fans aren't a monolith. Women and LGBTQ folks and musical fans read comic books, buy movie tickets, and watch TV shows. I know it wasn't like that when we were kids, it was very much a boys club back then. But now, fortunately, that's changing.

To be blunt we didn't REALY get to know anything much about who and what the REAL residents of WestView are, even if they had a file up saying what their job was according to records that doesn't realy mean much and if someone like Debra Jo Rupp expressed she was hoping to play something very different to her norm when brought in to play Mrs Hart (like a bad ass Witch) then there is ample room for the creatives to think about how and why they could give her exactly that (even if an completely original character).

Anyway, I completely get why many would be uninterested in this but I LOVE well done fun or serious Witch related stuff, always room for ample of that in an October releases window and want more of the magic side of Marvel explored so I am very interested in what they come up with. The cast alone had me sold on this as being something I WOULD check out and a true family Halloween themed show I am always a sucker for (my favourite celebration of the year, much prefer it to Christmas and hate Easter).

I was ranting about what an absolute piece of trash this was going to be months ago and Disney fan boys were defending it to the death, liking each others comments to ratio me.

Now we’ll see what the demand actually is for a H rated character who’s gobbling up money, resources and time that could’ve been spend on characters and properties fans actually wants to see.

This entire thing is a mind boggling joke, especially since Disney said they would be cutting back on garbage and focusing on established successful projects.

Have fun with the song alongs. I wouldn’t watch this if that paid in bitcoin. What a complete waste smh

@MuadDib - The certainty that y'all have that a show will be, not just "not for you," but also objectively bad is absurd. Life is a lot more enjoyable if one is open to being surprised and delighted, I promise.

@clintthahamster - it’s not about it being good or bad, it’s about it being a waste of resources. Disney has already said they don’t want to continue sinking money into what ultimately turns out to be flops and losers.

You think this is going to be a huge draw with the general audience? You think it’s going to spawn a franchise or boost toy sales? It could be incredibly done and have no impact whatsoever on the grander continuity of the MCU which makes it pointless.

Marvel should be directing time, money and energy to project that A) fans actually want, B) have the potential to bring meaningful character arcs to established entities and C) lead to such interest that new ppl subscribe to D+ or buy merchandise or spins off into a movie.

Agatha is none of that.

You can argue all you want about the very small niche of ppl who may enjoy the hell out of it. But the big picture is it’s gonna flop regardless of what a few fans think.

Ironically Marvel fans have set a high bar for what’s considered a success, this will fall far far short of that bar

@MuadDib - "it’s not about it being good or bad, it’s about it being a waste of resources."

So, if it's good, it will still have been a waste of resources?

"Disney has already said they don’t want to continue sinking money into what ultimately turns out to be flops and losers."

I imagine they wouldn't have made it if they thought it was going to be a flop or a loser.

"You think this is going to be a huge draw with the general audience?"

Isn't the point of the D+ shows to tell smaller stories that don't have to appeal to a broader general audience?

"You think it’s going to spawn a franchise or boost toy sales?"

It's a spin-off, it's literally already part of a franchise. As for toy sales, who gives a shit, I guess?

"It could be incredibly done and have no impact whatsoever on the grander continuity of the MCU which makes it pointless."

So, standalone stories that are pointless, regardless of how good they are? Do you ever watch movies that aren't part of a franchise? Because there are A LOT of good movies that don't have sequels, as well as single-season TV shows.

"Marvel should be directing time, money and energy to project that A) fans actually want, B) have the potential to bring meaningful character arcs to established entities and C) lead to such interest that new ppl subscribe to D+ or buy merchandise or spins off into a movie."

And since the show hasn't been released yet, you have no reason to believe that none of those things will happen. I mean, clearly, you do, I just don't know what they are beyond "Doesn't look like the kind of thing that I, personally, like to watch."

"the big picture is it’s gonna flop regardless of what a few fans think. Ironically Marvel fans have set a high bar for what’s considered a success, this will fall far far short of that bar"

Literally impossible to know any of that. Pure speculation based on . . . again, I don't know what. Musical shows, shows about witches and/or the supernatural, female-driven comedy, drama, and horror shows . . . all of these have been huge hits under other circumstances. Just because you aren't excited about this show doesn't mean that no one is. I am, for example. I like Hahn, and Plaza, and the supporting cast, and the trailers look like fun. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@MuadDib - a mind boggling joke is putting it correctly. I couldn't believe that they are giving a throwaway character like agatha her own show but now they are turning it into a woke musical, holy smokes!!!

MuadDib - 7/17/2024, 12:36 AM
@byrd42 - This is exactly what I’m saying. She’s a nobody, getting an entire series and now it’s a musical? 🤯

How many other characters are we still waiting to see for the first time and but we have to wait longer so they can push this out? Gtfo 🤦🏻‍♂️
