Kathryn Hahn Says She Dosen’t Think Agatha Will Be In Avengers: Doomsday

Agatha All Along might be over now, but fans still want to see the show’s leading lady play a part in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and with the Avengers films returning to theaters soon she’s finally given an answer on one possible vector for return.

Agatha All Along took a long while to make it to the MCU after it was announced as a spinoff from the franchise’s very first Disney+ show, but the wait was certainly worth it for fans of Katherine Hahn’s antagonistic Wandavision character. Bringing an all new sort of energy to the franchise, Agatha All Along would actually see its main character receive some (arguably) much deserved karmic retribution. Better yet, the show introduced a whole host of interesting new characters to the franchise, including Aubrey Plaza’s Rio Vidal, who is rumored to be in line for her own deathly Agatha All Along spinoff, which would be a monumental achievement for a show that is, itself, a spinoff.

Marvel’s Thunderbolts* has the potential to redefine the MCU and take up The Avengers mantle, but another flop would be catastrophic.

While Agatha All Along gave viewers a new fan-favorite hero in Wiccan and a new potential threat in Vidal, there’s still a lot of demand to see more of Hahn’s Agatha, and one big potential stage for her return is the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars mainline films that are going into production. Fans have been excited about the potential for Agatha to offer the MCU’s new band of Avengers some magical assistance against Doom, an opponent that has always used the mystic arts in tandem with cutting-edge technology that rivals Reed Richards’. However, Hahn herself has gone on the record as entirely unconvinced that she’ll be making an appearance. When a correspondent for The Hollywood Reporter asked if there was a role for Agatha in the upcoming Avengers films that are about to start production, the star didn’t mince words. “I don’t think so,” Hahn said succinctly. “I think I would know by now.”

This news is likely a big disappointment for many fans, as it was the one clear chance for the character to return in a prominent role soon. It’s clear that an Agatha All Along season 2 would be totally unnecessary, as the limited series told a compelling and (more importantly) complete story throughout its run and left its eponymous character a bit too ghoulish to headline another season in the lead role. However, it would also be a waste of the show’s brilliant last-minute necromantic twist not to use Hahn’s character in big future events. With a resume as impressive as any Sorcerer Supreme and (maybe just a little) newfound motivation to help out the right side, Agatha could be a real asset against Doom. Hahn has also mastered the art of the MCU’s overarching comic delivery, making her a great presence for serious situations that require some occasional, well-done levity.

A recent rumor suggests that Doomsday is facing delays specifically because the cast for the Avengers film is still being sorted at Marvel Studios, meaning that there’s still a very real chance that Hahn gets that call ahead of the production ending. With the two films set apart and tons of other related projects likely to fill in the space between the two big event films, Avengers: Secret Wars might be even more well-placed for a magical appearance from Hahn and Wiccan. Fans will have to stay tuned to find out how things play out, but for now, Agatha’s discouraging prediction will just have to suffice as truth.

Agatha All Along is available to stream on Disney+.
