Agatha All Along trailer

Agatha All Along’s official trailer was one ofnine big Disney Plus announcements made during D23 Expo 2024. It gave us a better idea of the spook-filled adventures that Agatha’s assembled coven will embark on, not to mention the uneasy alliances that’ll be at play. So, don’t be surprised if there are betrayals along the way to – and on – the Witches' Road.

Its final trailer arrived one month after the series' first was released in late July, which confirmed Agatha will spend its premiere breaking out of the reality-warped spell that Wanda Maximoff placed her in duringWandaVision’s finale, before she forms her own coven of misplaced magic wielders.

Here’s the confirmed cast list forAgatha All Alongso far:

The first six character (minus Teen), plus Forbes' Evanora and Okpokwasili’s Vertigo, are dark magic wielders. Meanwhile, the quintet from Rupp to Ali reprise theirWandaVisionroles as Westview residents who were trapped in the New Jersey town by Wanda Maximoff.

Of the named magic users, Forbes' Evanora, LuPone’s Lilia, and Plaza’s Rio are the only ones with ties to Hahn’s Agatha. Evanora is Agatha’s mom and the leader of the Harkness coven of witches, who appeared inWandaVisionepisode 8’s 1693-set sequence. Agatha killed Evanora during that scene, so the latter’s appearance here will likely be in another flashback. Meanwhile, Lilia is a 450-year-old Sicilian witch who can see into the future, while Rio is a warrior witch who, in the comics, is Agatha’s on-off love interest.

According to LuPone (perEntertainment Weekly(EW)), Locke’s Teen is a Familiar, aka an individual with supernatural abilities. Speaking toRolling Stone, Locke claims that’s his character’s real name, but this seems to be a front to his real identity, which we believe to be Billy, i.e. one of Wanda’s sons who’s somehow been reborn.

Billy’s likely presence inAgatha All Alonghas generated plenty of discussion among Marvel fans because, well, he died (read: disintegrated) inWandaVisionalongside twin brother Tommy. The pair were the fabricated offspring of Wanda and Vision (he was also a make-believe version of the deceased synthezoid that a grief-stricken Wanda created following Vision’s death inAvengers: Infinity War). But, ifAgatha’s Billy is the same Billy we saw inWandaVision, that raises questions about how he survived.

Billy, Agatha, Rio, Evanora, and Lilia will be joined on the dark magic-wielding front by two other magic users: Ahn’s Alice and Zamata’s Kale. In the comics, the latter is a a sorceress who’s part of another mystical group known as the Cult of Zhered-Na, but her origin story has likely been altered for this series. A rival witch faction called The Salem Seven will appear and be led by Okpokwasili’s Vertigo, too and it seems this gang has been teasedin a coupleofrecent TV spots.

Lastly, there’s speculation that Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda could also unexpectedly cameo, depending on how the story plays out. Speaking of which (or should that be speaking of witch)…

Agatha All Along story synopsis and speculation

Major spoilers follow forWandaVision. PotentialAgatha All Alongspoilers are also discussed.

Here’s the show’s official plot synopsis: “In Agatha All Along, 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…”

Before we get into mild spoiler territory, the show’s cast and crew have provided additional clues on its narrative. Speaking on the Official Marvel Podcast,Marvel’s Head of TV and Streaming Brad Winderbaum provided fresh details on numerous Disney Plus shows, includingAgatha All Along, which he labeled as a “Marvel brand of scary” and “a Halloween show… there are deadly stakes in the series, it’s a fun ride, but it’s a dangerous one.”

Elaborating toRolling Stone, Locke claimed it’s full of “magic, fun, and mystery”, before adding in anEmpire magazineinterview that it’s akin to Marvel’s dark, twisted version ofThe Goonies. Locke also toldTotal Filmthat the series took inspiration from, and even references, classic horror productions, such asRosemary’s BabyandThe Exorcist.

Anyone who’s seenWandaVisionwill know how and why Agatha is trapped in a magical reality, not unlike the one Wanda crafted post-Endgame. But, if you need a refresher, ourWandaVisionfinale deep-dive pieceprovides more details.

Based on what the previously referenced plot synopsis and trailers, this rumored plot is accurate and Agatha escapes from her fabricated ‘nightmare’. In the first teaser, we see Agatha attempting to claw her way out of Wanda’s spell. Ordinarily, it would be easy for someone with her power level to do so, but Wanda stripped Agatha of her dark magic abilities inWandaVision episode 9.

Anyway, after seemingly doing so, anotherMarvel TV spotconfirms three years have passed since Agatha was imprisoned in said hex. If we’re following the MCU timeline correctly, that meansAgatha All Alongtakes place in 2026.

As for the “unlikely friends” she’ll need to round up to help her regain her abilities, they’re the witches we mentioned earlier. Indeed, the depowered enchantress needs to traverse The Witches' Road, a life-threatening plane of existence that only sorcerers can tread. Clearly, Agatha will need to assemble her own coven to not only keep her safe on said journey, but also help her navigate it with their powers and expertise.

Speaking toEmpire magazine, showrunner/executive producer Jac Schaeffer confirmed this “disparate, mixed bag of witches”, all of whom are “covenless” and self-serving like Agatha, will join the untrustworthy titular character on her quest to get her powers back.

In order to travel to this alternate dimension, Agatha and her bewitching crew might need to employ a classic witch trope. An image (posted on theScarlet Witch Updates X/Twitter account) from Disney’s 2024 Upfronts presentation shows Agatha and company flying on broomsticks. There’s no word on whether there’ll be, say, a black cat or a cauldron attached to their classic method of transportation, though.

But we digress. There’ll be callbacks to previous MCU projects inAgatha All Along, includingDoctor Strange 2and (obviously)WandaVision, and there’ll be some musical elements, too. Indeed, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, who penned the hugely popular ‘Agatha All Along’ fromWandaVisionepisode 7, which stormed the music charts in early 2022, have written new musical numbers for it, one of which – titled ‘The Witches’ Road' – was performed in full at D23 Expo 2024 (see above). It sounds like it’ll be as catchy and earworm-inducing as itsWandaVisioncounterpart, too.

Other story-based rumors have circulated online in the lead-up to the series' launch, but we’ll refrain from mentioning any major ones we’ve seen to preserve some of its biggest mysteries. We don’t have long to wait now, so why ruin the fun so close to release?

Will Agatha All Along set up future Marvel movies and TV shows?

It’s possible. Marvel is still focused on telling its Multiverse Saga, which began in Phase 4, continues in Phase 5, and ends withMarvel Phase 6. Still, that hasn’t stopped the comic giant from branching out and telling standalone tales that have few to no ties to its overarching multiverse narrative.

So, which movies or shows might be spun out ofAgatha All Along? There’s only one project whose events could be set in motion by it:an untitled, secondWandaVisionspin-off that’ll star Paul Bettany as White Vision, which could arrive sometime in 2026 (perVariety).

If Billy Kaplan is the same one we saw inWandaVision, and if he survives the events ofAgatha All Along, we suspect he’ll embark on an adventure to track down White Vision – the closest thing he has to Vision, aka his ‘birth’ father – and/or his twin brother Tommy, to seek their help in finding Wanda, aka Billy and Tommy’s mom. She was last seen inDoctor Strange 2, where she seemingly perished after destroying the Darkhold and Mount Wundagore. However, we didn’t actually see her die and, given Wanda’s popularity among MCU fans, it wouldn’t be in the studio’s best interests to consign her to the MCU’s history books.

There are very few details on this show, but it could very well adapt the ‘Avengers: Children’s Crusade’ comic series, which sees Billy, Tommy, and other members of the Young Avengers search for Wanda/The Scarlet Witch. There’s been speculation that a Young Avengers project has been in development for some time at Marvel Studios – if it still is, could it be based on ‘Children’s Crusade’ and be announced post-Agatha All Along?

As for Agatha’s own MCU future, Winderbaum admitted there are plans to further explore her journey once her standalone series ends, but not in the way you may expect. “When you have an icon like Kathryn Hahn [and what she] has brought to the screen with Agatha, you just want to see more of her,” he toldScreenRant. “So yes, there will be more Agatha in the future [of] the MCU. She is in an episode ofWhat If…?season 3–- I shouldn’t say more, but it’s one of my favorite episodes ever done, and and it may involve the giant musical number, and she’s just incredible, and we all want to see more of her.”
