AGATHA ALL ALONG: New Details Reveal What Changed During Reshoots (And Whether Scarlet Witch Ever Appeared)

Agatha All Along only needed one day of reshoots, and a social media scooper has shed light on what changed during post-production...and whether Elizabeth Olsen was ever set to appear as Wanda Maximoff.

As you may recall, it's previously been reported that Agatha All Along completed its scheduled reshoots in only one day. With the WandaVision spin-off, Marvel Studios may have finally cracked TV, delivering a satisfying beginning, middle, and end, all with an appropriate budget thanks to practical sets and an effective use of VFX.

Today, scooper @MyTimeToShineH brings word about some of the changes Marvel Television made to Agatha All Along during those reshoots and production in general. 

They start by confirming that the Scarlet Witch was never in the series, so that didn't change (Alex Perez has also acknowledged that he was way off base with the claim Wanda Maximoff would be found in a dormant state at the end of the Witches' Road). 

Original plans called for Agatha Harkness to ask Death to "retire" her Rio Vidal form, prompting the powerful entity to respond, "But this is the me you fell in love with." In the penultimate episode, Agatha instead said she didn't want to see Death's face again.

We were also meant to see Billy's boyfriend, Eddie, in that instalment, with Wiccan requesting that he start calling him "Billy" instead of "William."

Agatha's ghost wasn't meant to reveal herself to Billy until he returned to her house in Westview, though we'd imagine that changed to better explain his creation of the Witches' Road (adding some all-important exposition to the finale). 

Finally, the leaker claims, "The biggest change was how Agatha’s son died. The Mephisto aspect remained but was portrayed differently. Episode 9 was originally supposed to be a full flashback with only the ending showing Agatha and Billy."

We're not entirely sure what they're talking about when it comes to "the Mephisto aspect," unless he was once set to play a bigger role in Death having to take Nicholas Scratch to the afterlife. The finale confirmed the boy died as a child and that the rumours he's an Agent of Mephisto are likely little more than that. 

So, nothing too major, though we'd imagine some of these alternate or deleted scenes will be revealed if Agatha All Along eventually gets a SteelBook release.

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.

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

Daredevil is my favorite Marvel character.

If they screw that up, I’m gonna riot and loot. (I need a new Blu-ray player)

@ItsNotForMeWahh - An origin movie would be great.

If you watched the show you figure out real quick they don’t have enough budget to bring in Olsen, that’s why I remain hopeful Batman shows up in the Penguin show

Was very very pleasantly surprised with this show and how great it was. its top 4 right after Loki S1, Wanadavision and Loki S2, for me at least.

Along with this rumors, i don't believe shit.

i do hope that alot of the plot threads left open in this show are addressed in future shows/movies and not left hanging and unanswered (looking at you SheHulk and Secret Invasion among others)

@MotherGooseUPus - they will be, We're already getting a vision quest show and Wiccan isn't going anywhere.

What was the open threads in She-Hulk? Hulks son? There hasn't really been anywhere for him to show up yet, I'm sure that won't be dropped.

Can't speak to secret invasion because I didn't see it but I do know about the rhodes stuff. I'm prety meh on them answering it one way or another because it doesn't really change anything.

@SATW42 - The Hulk's son thing would not be a major dangling thread unless Hulk pops back up in projects and Skaar is never mentioned again.

The Rhodey thing is not the biggest dangling thread from the end of SI, IMHO. It's Gaia existing as the strongest being in the MCU and going to work for the MI6. If she's never heard from again in the face of huge threats to the world/multiverse without at least a throw-away explanation, that's a big head scratcher.

IMHO, if you watched WandaVision and Agatha and loved the former but didn't like the latter, you're either:

a) just burned out on the MCU
b) not into witch stuff at all
or
c) a little of both

The two shows are objectively very similar in structure, tone (and tonal shifts), and quality. I'd argue that, if anything, Agatha "landed the plane" better than WV did. While I don't think anyone's performance in Agatha was at the level of Olsen's in WV, everyone seemed like they were working their asses off (and enjoying it).

It would have been better if the reshoots had made it good.

@DocSpock - I don't know, I think it was fine that the show was already good and didn't need reshoots. 😉

I'd guess that Agatha was more complicit in the sacrifice of Nicholas Scratch, originally.
