Agatha will see the return of Kathryn Hahn as Agatha Harkness alongside Aubrey Plaza and Joe Wicke. Here are all the details so far.
After stealing the show in WandaVision, the Agatha Harkness spin-off show, Agatha, is one of the most intriguing releases in the upcoming MCU roster. Kathryn Hahn’s character was initially introduced as Wanda’s neighbor Agnes in Westview, only to reveal that she is actually the witch Agatha Harkness. Though she is a magic user who has been alive for centuries, Agatha meets her match with Wanda, who truly becomes the Scarlet Witch for the first time in the MCU to defeat her. However, as the upcoming Agatha Harkness spinoff show reveals, the villain is not yet done in the MCU timeline.
Agatha Harkness is also the one who brings Wanda and the Darkhold together, setting in motion the events that eventually led to Scarlet Witch’s death in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. After Agatha’s defeat in WandaVision, Wanda traps Agatha in the Agnes persona that Agatha assumed while infiltrating Westview. Agatha will more than likely reveal what happened to Agatha Harkness following the events of WandaVision, which also raises promising prospects for what characters will appear in the Agatha show cast.
