We're now just a few days away from the premiere of Agatha All Along, and this latest teaser for the Disney+ WandaVision spin-off focuses on one of the most mysterious new additions to the MCU in quite a while, Rio Vidal (Aubrey Plaza).
All we know about this character is that she is a powerful Green Witch, and an ex of Agatha Harkness - but there might just be a lot more to her.
Possible spoilers follow.
Since Rio Vidal is not a character from the comics, there's been a lot of speculation that Plaza will actually turn out to playing someone a little more familiar (no pun). We have heard that this is indeed the case, and several different names have been circling the rumor mill, including Enchantress, Morgan le Fay, a gender-switched Nicholas Scratch, Lady Death, and even Mephisto himself.
Check out "Rio" in action in the promo at the link below, and let us know what you think.
The new series focuses on Kathryn Hahn’s character, Agatha Harkness, from the acclaimed Marvel Studios’ series WandaVision, as she sets off on a dangerous, mysterious adventure filled with trials and tribulations. Showrunner Jac Schaeffer, who was the creative force behind WandaVision, directs the pilot episode.
"In Agatha All Along, the infamous Agatha Harkness finds herself down and out of power after a suspicious goth Teen helps break her free from a distorted spell. Her interest is piqued when he begs her to take him on the legendary Witches’ Road, a magical gauntlet of trials that, if survived, rewards a witch with what they’re missing. Together, Agatha and this mysterious Teen pull together a desperate coven, and set off down, down, down The Road…"
In addition to Kathryn Hahn, Agatha All Along stars Joe Locke, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, Maria Dizzia, Paul Adelstein, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Okwui Okpokwasili, with Debra Jo Rupp, with Patti LuPone, and Aubrey Plaza. The executive producers are Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Mary Livanos and Jac Schaeffer. The directors for the series include Jac Schaeffer, Rachel Goldberg and Gandja Montiero.
