AGATHA ALL ALONG: Speculation Mounts That Marvel Studios Has Significant Plans For Aubrey Plaza's Death

Following last week's Agatha All Along finale, speculation is mounting that Marvel Studios has major plans for Aubrey Plaza's Death...with at least one idea being a potential spin-off. Read on for details!

The news that Aubrey Plaza was joining the MCU as part of Agatha All Along's cast was met with pure excitement from fans of the Parks and Recreation star.

While Rio Vidal isn't the biggest name character from the comics, it's fair to say we were all intrigued by what Plaza would bring to the table as the witch. However, when she was revealed as Death, it was quickly theorised that Marvel Studios must have much bigger plans for her beyond the WandaVision follow-up.

What those are is hard to say, and while the moment has passed for Death to ally herself with Thanos, we're sure she won't shy away from encouraging Doctor Doom in the next Avengers movies (where he'll no doubt rampage through the Multiverse, destroying worlds in a quest to save his own). 

Over the past few days, much has been said about what the future holds in store for Plaza's Death and a resurfaced rumour from last June might offer a better idea of what's in store for the villain. 

This X user is right that Giant Freakin Robot just guessing Plaza was Death is a stretch, particularly as those theories didn't really start doing the rounds until right around the time Agatha All Along launched on Disney+. With that in mind, we certainly can't discount the site's claim Marvel Studios has plans for a spin-off revolving around the character. 

Adding further fuel to the fire is the fact scooper @MyTimeToShineH has revealed that one of showrunner Jac Schaeffer's scrapped post-credits scenes "showed Rio/Lady Death following Ghost Agatha and Billy into the portal at the end" (we're assuming they mean the light that entered the basement through the open doors as they set off to find Tommy).

Marvel Studios has started to reduce its streaming content, so we'd be shocked if a Death TV show becomes a reality. What's more probable is that this, Agatha All Along season 2, and even the Avengers: The Children's Crusade storyline are all combined into a single project. Scarlet Witch, perhaps?

We'll have to wait and see how things develop, but many fans are convinced Marvel Studios is already teasing Agatha Harkness and Billy Maximoff's future on its social media platforms (see below). 

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

Death spinoff on Disney+?

Gross.

More Aubrey Plaza as Death?

Yes, please.


Aubrey Plaza for a villainous/supporting role in future project?

Moon Knight S2 or Midnight Sons.

If they are thinking of somhow bringing Thanos back and having "Death" be a regular part of the MCU, this would be the perfect setup to have him "court" her.

@Nomis929 - They should've done it the 1st time, "resource management" was a dumb reason to make it to screen.

Nomis929 - 11/5/2024, 9:31 AM
@J0RELLC00LJ - Agreed. I would have preferred a more nihilistic version of Thanos as he been portrayed in the comics, than some universal "mercy" killer.

When Marvel first started the MCU, they used B and C tier characters because they didn’t have access to their A tier fan favorite characters. Now they that they have access to those A tier characters, they’ve decided to spend a bulk of their efforts to focus on D and F tier characters.

Make it make sense…

@BruceWayng - my guess:

They EXPECT that THIS version of MARVEL will fail. Let these unprofitable talents utilize their time on lesser known characters of no value.

Once the failure is proven, we can get back to the regularly scheduled talent, without tarnishing A-list heroes.

@KennKathleen -

Very interesting. We can hope.

@DocSpock - worst case secenario- they build genuine interest in characters that no one really talked about.

Imo- this works best as a pleasant surprise.

Once the play is noticable, it loses it's flare.

if they do a death spinoff then it has to be a balls to the walls high stake series for people to buy into it. like some really cool high stakes characters and stories are a part of the series. honestly a death Halloween special presentation would be [frick]ing dope instead of stretching her story out for 6 episodes when we all know they wont pull the trigger and bring in heavy hitting characters and concepts to fill the series cause MCU is really about making us wait for everything lately.

Aubrey is great, but a Death spinoff series? That's reaching now. About what? Her taking people away to the afterlife?

@Urubrodi - a lame, gay, comedy death, with quips about how much weight she lost lately.

Someone stop Disney from killing Aubrey Plaza. If they didn’t like her in the role, they can just stop using her but killing an actress is way too much.

King Thanos is a variant. He's rumored to be in secret wars. So it's easy to see that variant Thanos motivations being to impress Death. While the 616 Thanos motivations were to save it in his madly illogical way

RolandD - 11/5/2024, 11:01 AM
I liked her in the role, which I expected. I just never cared for the idea of death personified. It cheapens death to me and I know that she comes from the comics.

I didn't get the impression Billy and Agatha were entering into a portal at the end of the show. Billy opened a door and sunlight flooded into the basement. It was a creative decision by the director to end the show this way. If there was a portal, Billy would have visually conjured one, not open a door. So, I doubt what MTTS knows what they are talking about regarding Death getting her own show. It sounds like sapphic fandom wishing it was true. Another chance to fix a toxic relationship between Death and Agatha. I don't think that's a direction Marvel or Jac Schaeffer wants to leave the audience on. Death lingering around Agatha Harkness as a jilted lover. She's too big a character for Marvel to be limited in that fashion.

But this is a moot point, MTTS is banking this end credit will never be revealed so any anonymous source can say whatever they want to play for a base.

Oh my! I totally misunderstood earlier. When did Kevin Feige put a hit out on Aubrey Plaza? That is CRAZY. She really must have pissed someone off.

@BlackStar25 - Yes, just so they can get it right this time. Think of it as a full reboot, which is what it would be.
