I’ve been pretty jaded relating to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and particularly the numerous half-baked Disney+ live-action reveals. I’ve been so burnt out on these, that even Agatha All Alongside gave the impression of a foul thought, regardless of how a lot I genuinely beloved WandaVision and Agatha’s character on that present. Kathryn Hahn was nice as that present’s shock villain. However then WandaVision and Loki are diamonds within the tough relating to Marvel’s live-action TV reveals.
Did Agatha want her personal sequence? That was what bugged me. I assumed Echo was a fantastic character in Hawkeye however did she want her personal sequence? The reply—after watching it—was “positively not.” However I believe I used to be maybe improper about Agatha All Alongside all alongside. Both that, or the advertising and marketing division has merely put collectively a pitch-perfect trailer. This not solely jogs my memory of a scarier WandaVision, I’m getting some Hocus Pocus vibes as effectively.
I really like that this trailer doesn’t give an excessive amount of of the plot away additionally past the fundamental premise of Agatha needing to get her powers again after her confrontation with Wanda. I’m genuinely curious what the story goes to be about. I’m additionally excited to see extra of the forged, together with an ominous Aubrey Plaza as Rio Vidal and Joe Locke as Wiccan.
Jac Schaeffer, the creator of WandaVision, returns to head-up Agatha All Alongside which can also be nice information. Whereas I’m nonetheless somewhat irked by WandaVision’s finale, it stays my favourite Marvel live-action story for the reason that “Snap”. I like that we’re following Harkness this time round and that she’s such an excellent traditional Disney villain in so some ways. I might see her out for drinks with Cruella De Vil and Ursula.
One other acquainted face from WandaVision is Debra Jo Rupp’s Sharon Davis, who was a resident of Westview and underneath Wanda’s spell and has since then in some way gained her personal magical powers in addition to a number of different residents of the city.
Whereas WandaVision actually performed into the sitcoms of varied eras, it’s clear that Agatha will probably be all about horror, although as darkish as a few of this trailer will get, it’s clearly additionally taking part in for laughs.
The sequence has had many titles together with: Agatha: Home of Harkness, Agatha: Darkhold Diaries, Agatha: Coven of Chaos and Agatha: The Mendacity Witch With Nice Wardrobe earlier than selecting the apparent Agatha All Alongside (which it was all alongside, get it?).
The sequence releases its two-part premiere on September 18th, 2024 with seven episodes releasing weekly by way of November sixth, simply in time for Halloween. I will probably be reviewing right here on this weblog.
