Summary
Kathryn Hahn’s nextMarvel Cinematic Universeappearance has been revealed ahead of theAgatha All Alongseries premiere. Agatha Harkness, one of Marvel’s latest fan-favorites, is making a comeback this fall following Hahn’s well-received debut inWandaVision. Set to serve as one of the final MCU TV shows in Phase 5 in 2024,Agatha All Alongwill continueHahn’s character on her own solo adventure.
Screen Rantrecently chatted with Marvel Studios' Head of TV, Streaming, and Animation, Brad Winderbaum, aboutAgatha All Along. When asked if Agatha will appear in other MCU projects after her spinoff, Winderbaum revealed the exciting news that fans won’t have to wait too long to see her afterAgatha All Along, sharing the following:
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. So yes, there will be more Agatha in the future [of] the MCU, yes. She is in an episode of What If…? season 3 - I shouldn’t say more, but it’s one of my favorite episodes ever done, andit may involve the giant musical number,and she’s just incredible, and we all want to see more of her.
How The MCU’s Agatha Harkness Ranks Against Marvel’s Most Powerful Magicians
Agatha Harkness is certainly a powerful magician in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but how does she compare to others, both friend and foe?
What If…?’s Musical Episode Is Exactly Why The Multiverse Show Exists
What If…? Explores Exciting Concepts More Easily Than Live-Action Shows Can
While time will tell whenWhat If…?season 3is coming to Disney+,Agatha’s return and what she brings to the table taps into a really strong concept that can benefit the animated show. One of the best things about animated shows in any genre is not being held back by any restrictions that would normally come with a live-action production. Even though it can be done, arranging a musical episode in a live-action format is, without a doubt, tricky, to say the least.
Still, knowing that Agatha will get to cross paths with other MCU characters, it will be fascinating to see how she gets along with some of the other players in the franchise.
But becauseWhat If…?is entirely animated, the creative team can tap into concepts and scenarios that can be simply drawn or produced through CGI, which perhaps would be more challenging for a live-action MCU project to do. The actors would also only have to focus on the singing for their recording sessions without having to worry about choreography and additional physical work that would be required in a live-action musical setting.With a character like Agatha, who already comes with a musical element, this will be an exciting episode forWhat If…?season 3.
It will be interesting to see whetherAgatha All Alongwill set up Hahn’s appearance inWhat If…?season 3,or if her spinoff show will have an ending more pertained to her series. Still, knowing that Agatha will get to cross paths with other MCU characters, it will be fascinating to see how she gets along with some of the other players in the franchise. Hopefully, a first look at Agatha inWhat If…?season 3 will come shortly after the end ofAgatha All Along.
Agatha All Alongwill premiere on Wednesday, September 18, with the first two episodes on Disney+.
