Agatha All Along: this huge revelation explained

The identity of the “teen” who accompanies Agatha on the witches’ route has been revealed. If the surprise is not really total, the entry on the scene of this well-known character from Marvel comics will have an impact on the rest of the MCU.

The revelation was hardly in doubt, after the broadcast of episode 5 ofAgatha All Alonglast week, on Disney Plus: the identity of the accompanying teenager Agatha Harkness on the witches' route is the one you guessed… Spoiler alert!

Yes, the mysterious character played by Joe Locke is none other than Billy Maximoff, the adult son of Wanda Maximoff (aka Scarlet Witch, played by Elizabeth Olsen). He is known in comics as the superhero Wiccan. We had also seen his younger version in WandaVisionunder the guise of Julian Hilliard.

Marvel has just released a new video ofAgatha All Along (see below), which confirms the identity. “Now that the public knows, the show is starting to get real.” having fun Joe Locke in EW, who had to keep it a secret for a long time. “The series begins with Billy falling behind all these witches. Now we know he's a wizard too, and that changes things. Plus, we now know he has the ability to harm them . Therefore, he is now the most powerful person on this Route. What does this change in the dynamic of the group and how does this change the future of these relationships with them?

Episode 6, this week, will explore Billy's true motivations. Why is he on the Road? What is its story? And above all, what consequences will its introduction into the franchise have for the rest of the MCU? Where is his brother Tommy (aka Speed)? And does her presence suggest that Wanda – who created her from scratch with magic – is still alive after the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness ?

Joe Locke already tease an important episode 7, “the best episode of the series” and confides that they had a lot of fun covering their tracks. “We played a lot. Does that make him a bad person? Is he a good person? Wanda has done bad things but is not necessarily bad. Agatha, arguably, is evil, but she is more than that. We know he lied to her, and we're going to play a lot with this dynamic of duplicity.”

It should be noted that in the comics, Billy alias Wiccan, is a formidable wizard, who becomes a member of the Young Avengerswith more or less the powers of his mother. So, Joe Locke specifies having “work” to reproduce Wanda's gestures and Elizabeth Olsen and so “finding similarities between Billy and Wanda, on how they use their magic.“Let us note, however, that Elizabeth Olsen did not work on the series and Joe Locke said he didn't come across her. But the young actor could see himself returning to the Avengers…And why not in the Young Avengersteased in the post-credits scene of The Marvels ?

Agatha All Along can be seen every Thursday on Disney Plus in France.
