AGATHA ALL ALONG Midseason Trailer And Poster Reveal Billy's Origin Story And Hypes Up Remaining Episodes

Marvel Television has released the midseason trailer and poster for Agatha All Along featuring Joe Locke's Billy Maximoff as he's confronted by Agatha Harkness! We also have new insights into his origin...

Comic book fans have known from the start that Joe Locke's Teen was likely Billy Maximoff/Wiccan, and his true identity was finally revealed in last week's fifth episode of Agatha All Along, "Darkest Hour / Wake Thy Power."

Revealing that he secretly has powers, Billy seemingly killed Agatha Harkness, Lilia Calderu, and Jennifer Hale after Alice Wu-Gulliver's death at the hands of the title character.

However, in this newly released midseason trailer, we see that Agatha manages to survive after rising from the ground to ask, "What does Billy Maximoff want at the end of the Road?"

If we had to hazard a guess, it's probably his mother, Wanda! The Scarlet Witch seemingly died at the end of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Billy is bound to have some questions for her...including the location of his father, Vision, and brother, Tommy, we'd bet. 

The sneak peek also offers some insights into Billy's origin story as we see him and his mother's car crash outside the Hex. Chances are that boy died, allowing Billy's soul to enter his body as the Hex around Westview was lowered. What that means for Tommy/Speed is hard to say.

Wanda can't have known about him, though, or she'd have never gone on that rampage through the Multiverse.  

We also have a new poster for Agatha All Along showcasing Wiccan with a piece of imagery harkening back to a poster for the Doctor Strange sequel featuring Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch. Like mother, like son, eh? 

Check out that and the midseason trailer below. 

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. 

The series stars Kathryn Hahn, 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, who is also the head writer and directed three episodes. Rachel Goldberg and Gandja Monteiro each direct three episodes of the original live-action series.

The first two episodes of Agatha All Along are now streaming on Disney+.

@DrReedRichards - lol , I get yah

However I’m not getting Mephisto’ed again so I’m reserving judgement and speculation on that

@RobinNumbah6 -

Do they also have MCU skins for the characters in it, or are they closer to the coimcs? 'Cause this Doom figure is clearly holding the MCU's version of the Darkhold, which is what made me draw that comparison.

Looks so good!!.

Going by that footage , definitely seems like they are going with the soul storyline for the kids…

Perhaps Billy Kaplan dies in that car accident and Billy Maximoff takes over his body?.

Also “Rio’s” line of “ at the end , all roads lead to me” is such a great line for her given her likely true identity which has been hinted at throughout.

Anyway , I have liked the show so far so looking forward to seeing how the remaining 4 turn out!!.

I WAS RIGHT?!?!?!

I said after episode 1 aired that the Car Crash mentioned by Rio/Agatha in the "Mare of Easttown" thing with (2 passengers in front, and a bloody corpse in the backseat) was 2 parents: Jeff and Rebecca Kaplan, and their son Billy Kaplan dying in the backseat where Billy Maximoff merges with his soul...

And then in episode 3 when he said a lot happened for him at 13 I went "that's three years before now...aka right when Wandavision ended, so the car crash happened during the hex"

Plus the other hints (he's hit by Sharon Davis' car, he's thrown through glass in the recording studio, etc) seemed to be leaning car accident.

But I've seen NO ONE else saying it!! I can't believe I got that, damn. I'm buying myself ice cream tonight :P

@gmit92 - damn , I forgot about the car accident thing from Ep 1 so good catch man

The accident with Agatha and him being thrown through glass seems unintentional to me but you could be right.

I kinda want to watch through once the show ends ( and hopefully it’s done well)in one go to see what else I might have missed.

"Billy seemingly killed Agatha Harkness"

Why is that even a thing? I really don't see them killing of their protagonist halfway through the show named after her.

How can your own article released just before this put a spoiler over Billy’s name, but this article title doesn’t and shows him in a crown which makes it obvious who he is?

It’s the worst kept secret, sure, but it’s still a spoiler

At least it's not multiverse nonsense, but it still irks me that Billy would have a "soul" that could take over another body, a dead one no less.

I guess I just view what happened in wandavision as like, Wanda created, essentially, computer programs. And then when the computer was destroyed, everything on it was wiped as well. Even if she could create souls, it feels like a cheat to have them still exist once the hex was lifted.

I know it wouldn't have been popular, but retconning the character to be Agatha's son at least makes sense.

Just to be clear, freaking loving this show.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 10/14/2024, 11:41 AM
@SATW42 - I never expected it to be Multiverse nonsense but I guess this moreso makes the most sense otherwise

They definitely wanted you to think he was Agatha’s son in Nicholas like she thought but it always seemed inevitable he would be Billy
RitoRevolto
RitoRevolto - 10/14/2024, 11:43 AM
@SATW42 - Unless they give an explanation on the "soul" a la what happened in the comics, yeah, I'm confused by what they're doing show-wise.
Apophis71
Apophis71 - 10/14/2024, 12:25 PM
@SATW42 - One of the version of the source story, after the more heavily Mephisto connected one, was that the twins were lost souls given form by Wanda. In effect SW just created a vessel for the souls to inhabbit and once those bodies ceased to be found a new vessel (all be it effectively travelling into the past to be reincarnated).

The other, first retcon after the twins were first created is that they were both fragments of Mephisto but that was always less likely and as mentioned a later retcon was that was a lie by the demonic being and he simply used lost souls as part of a long con to manipulate Wanda to his ends.

I get the issues some will have with whatever way they went, it is why they retconned more than once due to issues some had with the idea a Witch could create kids purely with magic and the whole questions it posed related to if they had souls or not.

IF they are doing the Billy Kaplan died in the accident at the moment Billy Maximoff ceased to be thus setting up a way to bring in Wiccan (by possessing/healing a dead body) feel putting aside metaphysical questions it makes it easier to sell than any of the original source methods but no option is beyond critique one way or another.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 10/14/2024, 12:45 PM
@Apophis71 - yeah

Plus it sweeps aside the the ethics question I guess if did Billy just steal some poor kids life?

That’s not even a question if Billy Kaplan died.
SATW42
SATW42 - 10/14/2024, 1:02 PM
@Apophis71 - in trying to respond to you, I think I just talked myself into a convoluted ass explanation. It seems to me that the hex is FORMING when the car accident happens and they are trying to escape. I suppose I could buy that Billy Kaplan died and Wanda was able to create Billy with that lost soul so technically Billy Kaplan was Billy Maximoff all along. Then once the hex was broken, maybe for whatever reason Death and/or Mephisto make a deal with him to return to his body retaining his Maximoff powers etc.

That leaves two plot holes: how Billys body is even in tact enough to be reinhabited, after being dead for about 9 days while Wanda had the town under the hex. But *handwave* magic explains that I suppose.

The second being, how did Wanda not know he was there. I suppose the answer to that would be death and/or mephisto put the sigil on him, to hide him from Wanda.
SATW42
SATW42 - 10/14/2024, 1:09 PM
as for "why" they would need Billy, my guess is they know Wanda isn't dead and they are pissed she destroyed every known copy of the darkhold across every universe and they want her for revenge or to try and have her bring it back.

In this scenario, Billy would go along with it because a, he wants to be alive and b, if his soul was taken to make some witches little kid and he was essentially brainwashed like the rest of the town, he's likely not all that happy with Wanda either.
Apophis71
Apophis71 - 10/14/2024, 1:10 PM
@SATW42 - For sure the if it was always Kaplan who Wanda utilised to create Maximoff...

...it removes some issues and for the sake of argument his body was kept alive on a vent even though according to the Docs braindead till Maximoff ceased to be...

...when he wakes he has powers and memories from his time as one of the twins.

Magic CAN explain a lot however, more if the writing is good enough to sell the technobabble ultimately.
Apophis71
Apophis71 - 10/14/2024, 1:14 PM
@SATW42 - There are a few what is he after possibilities I could think of and trying not to speculate.

One could be as simple as answers, how and what occured from the point of the crach to waking with powere. Another could be what has happened/where is Wanda and revenge could be mixed in with that but a lot is likely to be around discovering who or what he is, Kaplan of Maximoff to my mind, but are others ways they could go with it.

twistedcastles - 10/14/2024, 1:40 PM
@SATW42 - souls are energy
And energy never dies
Wanda used her powers energy to create her kids and vision

Since that energy can't be destroyed it had to go somewhere

This show has been getting better and better as it has gone along. I’ve quite enjoyed the last few episodes. It’s nothing amazing but for a lower budget show that is just having fun with its concept, it’s getting to be creative and fun.
McMurdo
McMurdo - 10/14/2024, 2:17 PM
@MrDandy - feels like it's been the same show. It was most interesting in EP one IMO when they were aping Wandavision but with true crime. Now it's just a CW esque show about witches with a lot of cringey dialogue. I dunno. I'm glad y'all are enjoying it but when you have the Penguin it's like what are we doing here.

Finally a new character I can get excited about.

Having one of Wanda's sons is so interesting to me, and cant wait to see his brother and both reuniting with her mother (hopefully sooner rather than later)
