Marvel Studios is stirring excitement with the first trailer for Agatha All Along, the anticipated spinoff from the critically acclaimed WandaVision. Scheduled to premiere this September, the series marks a darker, horror-infused chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
The trailer, which dropped recently, reveals a chilling new reality for Agatha Harkness, portrayed by Kathryn Hahn (WandaVision, Bad Moms). Contrary to the comedic undertones of WandaVision, Agatha finds herself in a grim setting reminiscent of crime dramas, stripped of her magical powers. The narrative teases her entrapment in a detective’s life, where she’s investigating a series of sinister murders.
The series is a direct continuation of WandaVision, following Agatha’s downfall and exploring her journey post-defeat. Adding to the intrigue, the trailer introduces Aubrey Plaza’s character, Rio Vidal, a witch who pushes Agatha to escape the illusory world she’s trapped in. This interaction hints at deeper layers of mystery and horror as Agatha realises the need for a coven’s strength to regain her powers.
Marvel’s venture into darker themes isn’t new, with projects like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Werewolf by Night touching on horror elements. However, Agatha All Along promises to delve deeper into this genre, exploring demons and possibly possessed entities that the MCU has only briefly encountered.
Kathryn Hahn’s return has been eagerly awaited, especially after her character’s catchy theme song became a viral sensation. The show had undergone several title changes before settling on Agatha All Along.
Agatha All Along will debut with a two-episode premiere on 19 September, exclusively on Disney+. It is one of the few Marvel projects set for release this year, alongside the anticipated Deadpool and Wolverine. Other Disney+ spinoffs, such as Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and Eyes of Wakanda, are also expected to release soon, although dates have not been confirmed.
