The first trailer for Agatha All Along has been released, and it’s an enchanting portent of things to come for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel has been teasing this WandaVision spin-off for years, and its teaser trailer unveiled quite a lot about the MCU’s latest journey through the mystic realm.
Agatha fans won’t have to wait much longer to see the MCU’s most magnetic witch make her triumphant return. The first two episodes of Agatha All Along will premiere back-to-back on September 18, 2024.
Kathryn Hahn’s enthralling performance as Agatha Harkness was one of WandaVision‘s greatest highlights, so it shouldn’t be surprising that she’s returning to play the role in Agatha All Along. To sweeten the cauldron, Hahn will be starring alongside a troupe of talented actors and actresses who will add even further charm to this chapter of the MCU.
Some stand-out cast members include Aubrey Plaza (Black Bear), Joe Locke (Heartstopper), Patti LuPone (Beau is Afraid), Sasheer Zamata (Saturday Night Live), Ali Ahn (Orange is the New Black), and Debra Jo Rup (That ’70s Show). Many of these players have experience in comedy and musicals, elements that are essentially intertwined with Harkness’ character after her song in WandaVision.
Agatha All Along‘s trailer hits the ground running, re-introducing the genre-splicing gimmick that defined WandaVision with a Law and Order-esque opening scene that sees Harkness investigating Wanda Maximoff’s murder. From there, things go off the rails as we see clips of Harkness’ efforts to build a coven and reach the end of “The Witch’s Road,” a dangerous gauntlet that could allow her to reclaim her lost magic.
Demonic monsters, gloomy forests, and an overt nod to The Exorcist appear in Agatha All Along‘s trailer, implying that the series will be delving into darker territory than other MCU installments. The lack of any overt references to other MCU films and series (outside of WandaVision, of course) also hints that Agatha All Along could be a standalone series, detached from the MCU’s ever-expanding multiversal narrative.
