AGATHA ALL ALONG Star Aubrey Plaza Thinks Fans Will "Go Crazy" For Her Character Reveal - Possible SPOILERS

While promoting the new series at the recent premiere event, Agatha All Along star Aubrey Plaza pretty much confirmed the fan theory that her character, Rio Vidal, will be revealed to be someone else...

Marvel Television's Agatha All Along hits Disney+ tomorrow with a two-episode premiere, so if you'd rather avoid any more reveals (or hints at reveals) before sitting down to watch the show, here's your (possible) spoiler warning

Since Aubrey Plaza's character, Rio Vidal, does not appear in the comics, there's been a lot of speculation that the Legion alum will actually turn out to playing someone a little more familiar (no pun). 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.

Now, Plaza has confirmed that there is something mysterious about Miss Vidal, and believes fans are going to "go crazy" once the cat is out of the bag.

"I'm just so happy they let me play this character," she told Scarlet Witch Updates. "I can't spoil it, but what happens, the reveal is pretty amazing. And I think for the fans especially, they're going to go crazy."

Without giving anything away, we'll just say that there are some subtle - and one not so subtle - hints about who Rio Vidal really is in the first few episodes, and we don't think Plaza is exaggerating about the excitement levels the big reveal will result in.

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.

Marvel Television’s Agatha All Along premieres September 18 at 6:00 p.m. PT/9:00 p.m. ET, with the first two episodes, exclusively on Disney+.

@FrankenDad -
These series are the ones that create superhero fatigue, more woke material for the MCU.

It seems that Disney has not learned from its recent past failures where Deadpool & Woverine has been an isolated success.

When this actress says that "fans will go crazy" she does not mean MARVEL fans, but fans of the woke vibe cause MARVEL fans are not gonna watch this bullshit.

In the case that she plays Mephisto, more than a surprise, it will be a disappointment because no one wants her to play Mephisto.

If this is the Mephisto reveal.. somehow it'd be worse than that Plagueis

@bobevanz - I personally would lvoe her as Mephisto, she's perfect.

Better yet, she can more than handle the trolls. It would be quite amusing. It won't be like Tatiana or Brie, it would be scorched earth.

@bobevanz - mephisto takes many forms if you knew your lore instead of bitching. so it is quite possible she can be mephisto and so can sasha in iron heart (another one of those woke series for you to lose your shit about).

Actually, no we won't, cause no one will be watching. This show of a tertiary character shouldn't have been made, no knows them and will tank big, worse than marvels. So many better stories to tell, mcu needs to get back to superheroes, especially primary characters and their stories and once you get that established, move to secondary. Years and years worth of and you still wouldn't get to tertiary and Agatha. Huge mistake by marvel to release this, just like iron heart, shit show, no one will watch and will tank big.

@cubichy - Alright, it doesn't interest you, It doesn't interest me either, but no need to be this agressive about it.

@cubichy - Ironheart was bad? I’ll have to check it out next year when it releases. Thanks for the clairvoyance!

I saw the first 2 episodes yesterday

More mature leaning than expected, plaza character shows up but identity isn’t revealed

Humor is hit or miss

Overall better than expected looking forward to seeing the rest

I'm curious, so I'll watch it, well at least the two first ones.

If she's mephisto, then she should also be cast in iron heart as it's heavily rumored mephisto is there too influencing things. Unless they go the route that mephisto takes on multiple different appearances. Sacha in iron heart and Aubrey in Agatha

However with the variants in play and skrulls, having yet another "shapeshifter" can be confusing for audiences. So my theory is likely silly

Wanda variant? Shadow King?

Tbh right now Aubrey is the main reason I have for watching this show.

Morgan Le Fay would be sweet, but I’d like to see a character shift once she reveals herself. Something more prissy

I don't think you'll get enough viewers to give a shit,whenever the reveal is how many will still be watching.

Look at the past few TV series:

Ms. Marvel
She-Hulk
Secret Invasion
Loki season 2
What If season 2
Echo
Agatha All Along

All except Loki were focused on female heroes. I'm not saying that's a bad thing and I actually really enjoyed Ms. Marvel as a series and a character. They nailed Kamala Khan. However, I think Marvel is alienated their core audience of young men. 12 year old boys won't watch the Agatha series. Straight guys in their 20s and 30s probably won't be too excited either. I'm not here to complain about all the woke stuff, rather just pointing out a poor business decision. Most comic fans are guys and they want to see a strong male ideal as the hero. Marvel has forgotten that. Daredevil Born Again can't come soon enough.

All these Disney shows are using the same strategy of using tricks to get people to watch and keep watching instead of just telling interesting stories with interesting characters.

Like here instead of simply saying "Hey check out these cool and interesting characters from Marvel in a super hero story" like it was for all of Phase 1-3 it's now "Hey look at these actors and watch a slow and meandering story that creates mystery boxes for no reason except just to have them in order to pad the watch time. And find out who they are and what the actual point of watching the show is in the final episode of the series!!!".

Just watched the 1st 2 eps, maybe Blackheart? That'd be a big reveal
