AGATHA ALL ALONG Star Joe Locke Responds To Episode 5's Big Teen Reveal - SPOILERS

This week's episode of Agatha All Along pretty much confirmed what many fans had suspected since the beginning regarding the identity of "Teen," an actor Joe Locke has now responded...

"You're so much like your mother."

This week's fifth episode of Agatha All Along finally revealed (though the cat was already out of the bag for many fans) the true identity of Joe Locke's Teen in a tense final scene that saw Agatha's "pet" turn on Kathryn Hahn's ruthless witch... and anyone else that happened to be in the vicinity!

Spoilers follow.

Though it wasn't explicitly stated (we're sure we'll learn more next week), "Darkest Hour / Wake Thy Power" pretty much confirmed that Teen is actually Billy Kaplan, aka Billy Maximoff, aka Wiccan: the son of the Scarlet Witch.

Enraged by Agatha's murder of Alice, Billy's powers begin to manifest, and after flinging Harkness - along with Lilia and Jen - into a nearby swamp, we see a very familiar-looking blue crown materialize on his head.

Locke has now taken to Instagram to respond to the big reveal, clearly relieved that he no longer has to keep his character's identity a secret.

We're still not exactly sure how Billy managed to return to the land of the living (is this an alternate reality variant?), but something tells us "Rio Vidal" will be able to provide a few answers during episode 6.

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+.

lol was this really a secret? I always found these "secretive" character reveals to be sorta cringe now.

@blackiron777 - Not to us, but more casual fans who don't follow all the spoilers wouldn't have had a clue... and probably still don't after that.

@MarkCassidy - my daughter asked about the thing on his head and I gave her the ole, you will have to wait and see because unlike most of us on here, some people actually enjoy reveals.

@MarkCassidy @blackiron777 - I never like these character reveals, period. It's not so much a mystery but a constraint imo.

Think there can be done more if writers don't limit themselves by not revealing who the character is, and this limit themselves by what they can do with them.

Just look at Sauron and Gandalf in Rings of Power, only when the cat is out of the bag the actually interesting narratives start.

@bkmeijer1 - I was just thinking the same thing yesterday after reading about how secretive everything was when Lewis Pullman was auditioning for Sentry. I think all the secrecy is hurting Marvels content. I miss the days when they would announce the entire cast at comic con and would tell us about the next 10 movies they’re making.

@RaddRider - I would say 90% of casual movie goers have no idea who Sentry is so they don't even know there's a secret even in play.

@RaddRider - that's another Marvel example (just like Mysterio). Even for people who don't know anything about the source material, one quick google search or one instagram reel is enough to "spoil" it.

And they're dropping the spoiler very soon after the release, so marketing was always planned to lean into the reveal.

Finally , the worst kept secret at Marvel is revealed!!.

Jokes aside that while it was anticipated that “Teen” would be Wiccan , the reveal itself was still well done imo…

The turn was well performed by Locke which is impressive since he’s still fairly early into his acting career (this is only his second screen role ever).

I have liked the character so far and am looking forward to see how his arc continues in the remaining 4 episodes!!.

Very very short middle point. Feel like next episode may not be set on the Road... instead give us some insight on how Wiccan got here.

Rio defending Agatha was cute to see.

At least they didn't drag it out for another 4 episodes. That said I suspect I will have trouble with any mechanic they come up with to explain his existance.

@JDL - I've said since episode 1, Billy Kaplan died in a car crash in Westview (they mention two drivers and a bloody backseat), and Wanda died at the same time. Him being hit by a car immediately after showing up, and then being thrown through glass last episode just feel like they reinforce this to me.

So now he's part Billy M, and part Billy K. For as complicated an origin as this character usually has, I think it would work well.

@gmit92 - For sure, one of my theories how they would go was braindead kid in a coma wakes up due to the soul of Wanda's kids finding a host...


...all that said dunno why any have that much of an issue either way as Wiccan was always born a Kaplan anyway, not a Maximoff, years before Wanda created her twins.even if in a strange way still one and the same.

I mean in print they were both ONLY created by magic, then they kinda were not and parts of Mephisto wiped out when he returned, then weren't and just lost souls or whatever but...

...the MCU can stick with the source of keep it simple in a number of ways and couldn't realy make it more confusing than the source and it's multiple retcons did.

@gmit92 - Read up on Billy K. Not my favorite way to go but then nothing I've seen so far passes a sniff test. YMMV.

@Apophis71 - HOLY SHIT I WAS RIGHT?!

Midseason trailer basically confirmed my car crash theory for Billy I've had since episode 1.

I am really excited about this , I mean we all knew who he was playing but it’s nice to know they revealed it mid season and we don’t have to wait for the season finale.
I would have thought they’d leave it as a cliffhanger or some ring but it’s nice to see we’ll get Wiccan sooner rather than later.


I had my reservations about Joe Locke playing the character but having seen the show now , I absolutely love his interpretation, it’s endearing while also being edgy.

Now that's my weekly "what did i just watch" fix

What a horrible show

- another worthless death of a shallowly written character, serving the simple purpose of ing the witche's road look dangerous and scary
- how come these witches are afraid of the paranormal? Make it make sense
- production values are cheap, and they spin it in a good way as the most cost effective show, lolz
- the teen reveal is not compelling if the funkos were revealed early on, which i believe were intended to entice the blind fanboys to support this
- the era costumes doesnt make sense and doesnt have any logic to them
- marvel is ceeatively bankrupt

And id understand if Mark deletes my post AGAIN

@vectorsigma - “ Now that's my weekly "what did i just watch" fix

Then stop watching it. Lol you come on here all the time acting like you know so much more than everyone with the ABSOLUTE opinion and you just complain and complain and complain.…yet you keep watching. You’re not obligated to watch any of this stuff, but you do all the time anyway. You’re your own problem.

“ the teen reveal is not compelling if the funkos were revealed early on, which i believe were intended to entice the blind fanboys to support this”
Again, you’re your own problem. Also you clearly spend way too much time on the internet lol. ‘Fanboys’ may know this stuff, the general public doesn’t.
I’m sure you also had the same ‘belief’ when McDonald’s revealed Red Hulk early, or any of the other numerous times merchandising got ahead of the production releases.

I don’t think there’s another user on here that fits the stereotype of Comic Book Guy more than you do, so congrats on living up to that I suppose. It’s a miserable thing to be and a wasteful way of taking in anything.

That episode turned pretty quickly. I don’t really understand how Agatha won her trial but I didn’t expect her to kill Alice. I thought after her mom called her evil she’d show she’s changed or something, but it was more enjoyable this way
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 10/10/2024, 11:11 AM
@MyCoolYoung - the whole thing was to punish Agatha right?.

It could have been clearer but once Billy revealed that Nicholas’s spirit was in the room then I think that was how it ended because she now knows for sure her son is dead while she had hope he might be alive thinking it was “Teen”

That’s a form of punishment

@TheVisionary25 - 100% wasn’t clear but that makes sense

For all those saying "Was this actually a secret? I knew all along! Funko pop revealed this a while ago!"..What you all seem to forget about is the general public, ya know the 80% of people who watch this...they didnt know. Fanboys who spend their whole day in their basement looking up scoops and finding leaks and writing troll responses take up a small majority.

So, who put the sigil on Wiccan? Did he put it on himself, hoping he can get the good out of Agatha and not have her exploit him? Is he on the Road to get to his family, since he has powers?

Yeah, I liked how things picked up at the end with Agatha leaning more into the villain role, but this episode definitely felt like it needed more time to flesh the plot out, it felt like the coven dynamic just shifted too quickly.
