Agatha All Alongis now the latest Marvel release on Disney Plus that connects directly with the rest of theMCU. The MCU’s output has been bolstered significantly within the Multiverse Saga, asWandaVisionkicked off a new era in which shows now contribute to the wider MCU alongside its mainline movies.WandaVision, for example, became necessary viewing to understand the intricacies ofDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, whileMs. Marveldirectly set up the events ofThe Marvels.
Agatha All Alongfollows suit by connecting to some of theMultiverse Saga’s most significant eventsand could establish even more forupcoming MCU installments. So far, the series has established the Witches' Road, another plane open only to practitioners of magic, as MCU canon. It has also introduced a host of new characters that may have bigger roles down the line inthe MCU’s mainline movies. Whatever happens, here’s howAgatha All Alongconnects to previous MCU productions and how it could connect to its future.
Agatha All Along Is A Direct Sequel To WandaVision
Agatha All Along Takes Place Three Years Later
Agatha All Alongis the second installment in a trilogy of shows centered around the stars ofWandaVision. It picks up three years after Wanda left Westview atthe end ofWandaVisionand lifted her hex from most of its residents, with Agatha being the notable exception. Wanda herself appears to feature inAgatha All Alongas a corpse whose face is obscured but whose Darkhold-stained fingers, distinctive red hair, and cause of death (crushed by something big) all allude heavily to her true identity.
While it is still connected to previous shows,Agatha All Alongis the first to be released under Marvel’s new Marvel Television banner.
After making a splash as the arch-villain ofWandaVision, Agatha is now the antihero star of her own show as she embarks on a quest to reacquire the powers that Wanda drained her of. Although she is now free of Wanda’s influence, the show has already delved into Agatha’s relationship with Wanda, mentioning her by name and establishing Agatha’s deep-seated resentment. Another side of this relationship will no doubt be explored inVision’s confirmed solo series, which appears set to round out theWandaVisionstory.
Agatha All Along Also Connects To Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness
Wanda’s Death In Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness Is Addressed
It has been three years since Wanda left Agatha in her purgatorial hex, and the Scarlet Witch has since been up to some monumental activities.Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnesssaw Scarlet Witch traverse the multiverse with the help of the Darkhold that she took from Agatha, killing any that stood in her way and threatening to cause incursions between entire universes. Upon recognizing the error of her ways, Wanda would use her immense powers to destroy the Darkhold in every reality before collapsing the Darkhold Castle upon herself.
The mystery surrounding whether Wanda really died at the end ofDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessis seemingly put to bed by the show, as “Herb,” in the guise of a forensics officer, states “Oh she’s really, most sincerely dead.”
Agatha AllAlongreferences both Wanda’s death and the destruction of the Darkholdin the first two episodes. Themystery surrounding whether Wanda really diedat the end ofDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessis potentially put to bed by the show, as “Herb,” in the guise of a forensics officer, states “Oh she’s really, most sincerely dead.” This contradicts theories that Wanda might show up alive and well in the Witches' Road, though the permanence of death in Marvel productions is far from a foregone conclusion, especially since this scene is part of Agatha’s warped hex reality.
What Other Marvel Movies And Shows Could Connect To Agatha All Along
Agatha All Along May Be Introducing Another Young Avenger
One of the most significant things thatAgatha All Alongmight establish in the MCU is the true identity of Joe Locke’s “Teen.” Thesecrecy surrounding Teen’s identitysuggests that the reveal will be significant, with the prevailing theory being that he is portraying Billy Maximoff/Kaplan, AKA Wiccan. If true,Agatha All Alongmay be establishing acore member of the Young Avengers, which Kamala Khan began assembling in the post-credits scene ofThe Marvels, and who will presumably make their big screen debut in the coming years.
Tommy Maximoff/Shepherd - AKA Speed - is also a member of the Young Avengers in Marvel Comics, but has yet to appear afterWandaVision.
Another theory suggests that Teen is portraying Nicholas Scratch, Agatha’s son whose presence (or lack thereof) has already been touched on as Agnes of Westview gazes mournfully into his unoccupied bedroom. Scratch is a primary villain to The Fantastic Four, who are due to make their MCU debut in 2025’sThe Fantastic Four: First Steps, which would make his debut inAgatha All Alongparticularly well-timed. Agatha herself also has a history with The Fantastic Four as she at one point nannied Franklin Richards.
Furthermore, the MCU has been steadily expanding its mystical offerings, something that arguably began with Wanda and Doctor Strange, and to whichAgatha All Alongis now a prime contributor. Shows likeMoon KnightandWerewolf by Nighthave delved just as deep into the magical side of Marvel, whileMs. MarvelandEternalshave scratched the surface with their introduction of the Clan Destines and Dane Whitman, respectively. These figures, along with the upcomingBlade, may all coalesce down the line,potentially as part of a Midnight Sons adaptation.
