On Monday we received our first trailer for Agatha All Alongside, maybe an ill-conceived idea for potential viewership on Disney Plus, however one which encompasses a proficient solid from the hilarious Kathryn Hahn to the enigmatic Aubrey Plaza.
The present seems to be making an attempt to cover its idea, however every little thing from its casting to its trailer are screaming the identical factor:
This collection is about resurrecting Wanda Maximoff, aka Scarlet Witch. Or at the least some model of her.
From the beginning, we knew that Joe Locke could be taking part in Wiccan, Maximoff’s son who was “imagined” in WandaVision, however seems very actual right here. The present, for no matter purpose, is taking part in it coy, not calling him Billy Maximoff (now Billy Kaplan) however simply “Teen” within the synopsis. However Selection has confirmed that after all, he’s Wiccan.
The trailer opens with Hahn, who has forgotten Agatha altogether and is now a police detective, discovering Wanda useless within the woods of “blunt drive trauma.” Wanda was allegedly crushed to loss of life as the principle villain of Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity, nevertheless it at all times felt fairly apparent that both A) wasn’t everlasting or B) wasn’t the way it seemed.
However she might be useless, transported right here…by some means. But it surely very a lot appears clear the principle plot of Agatha All Alongside will probably be resurrecting her. I imply, learn the official synopsis.
“In Agatha All Alongside, the notorious Agatha Harkness finds herself down and out of energy after a suspicious goth Teen helps her break away from a distorted spell. Her curiosity is piqued when he begs her to take him on the legendary Witches’ Highway, a magical gauntlet of trials that, if survived, rewards a witch with what they’re lacking. Collectively, Agatha and this mysterious Teen pull collectively a determined coven, and set off down, down, down The Highway.”
Huh, I’m wondering what a mysterious Teen (I like how they capitalize that) named Billy Maximoff with a useless mom is likely to be “lacking” that he needs again? Hmm? Hmmmmm? I imply, come on.
I assume the thought is that each one the witches within the coven need one thing they’re lacking as properly. I believe Agatha needs the complete extent of her energy again, and maybe she believes if she brings Wanda again to life she will be able to…take it? That’s shifting extra into hypothesis, nevertheless it does look like there’s a zero % probability this present is targeted on the rest.
Effectively, I’ll give it possibly a ten% probability that Billy could possibly be lacking his brother, Tommy, later often called Velocity, and wanting to seek out him/make him actual. However even when that’s true, there’s no probability Wanda gained’t be concerned.
I’m definitely within the present. I predict it will likely be Disney Plus’s least-watched manufacturing to this point, however that doesn’t imply it gained’t be good (its present least-watched is Ms. Marvel, arguably one in all its finest exhibits). And above all else, I’m trying ahead to seeing Elizabeth Olsen again as Wanda, in some type or one other, by the tip.
