Agatha All Along wrapped up its first (and likely only) season this week, and showrunner Jac Schaeffer has been sharing some interesting details about certain things that didn't make the cut.
During an in-depth chat with The Ringer-Verse, Schaeffer revealed that she originally wanted to bring back a surprising character from She-Hulk: Attorney at Law to be a part of Agatha's makeshift coven.
“[We wanted] to get Madisynn on the Witches’ Road, but it just didn’t work. It was shoehorning."
As divisive as She-Hulk proved to be, most would likely agree that the episode featuring the debut of Madisynn (two Ns, one Y, but it's not where you thiiiiiink) King was a lot of fun.
Actress Patty Guggenheim's party girl became swept up in Jennifer Walters' affairs following her encounter with former Kamar-Taj student turned magician Donny Blaze. After being called as a witness, she strikes up a friendship with Wong (Benedict Wong), before returning in the episode's hilarious post-credits scene armed with cocktails and Sopranos spoilers.
Madisynn quickly become a fan-favorite, and viewers began to "ship" her and the Sorcerer Supreme ("MadWong") in the hopes that they might appear together again in the MCU down the line. While that's yet to happen, Maddie did recently make her Marvel Comics debut in What If... Venom issue #3, and it looks like her relationship with "Wongers" is still going strong.
