Warning! This article contains SPOILERS for Agatha All Along episodes 1 & 2Fan theories are coming out ofAgatha All Alongthat are reminiscent of its predecessor. TheMCU’s latest show is a spinoff ofWandaVision, following Agatha Harkness’ journey as she attempts to regain the magic she lost to Wanda’s spell.The first two episodes ofAgatha All Alongalready boast many similar elements toWandaVision, such as the mix of comedic and dramatic beats, as well as the nods to classic sitcoms. However, one of the biggest similarities between the two shows is the creation of a fan theory that could have big stakes down the line.
WandaVision’s quirky nature made it a project unlike anything done before inthe MCU timeline, so there was plenty of room for fans to speculate where things were going. The biggest show fan theory was that Mephisto would be introduced at some point, and even the tiniest details were being analyzed as a hint of his arrival.Fans were thoroughly convinced that Mephisto would appear by the end of the season, yet the character never came. For better or for worse, theEaster eggs inAgatha All Alonghave already created the show’s own version of the Mephisto obsession.
Scarlet Witch’s Return Has Become Agatha All Along’s Mephisto Obsession
The two biggest questions to come out ofAgatha All Alongare thereal identity of Joe Locke’s Teenand the possibility of Scarlet Witch returning to the MCU, and both questions are linked in their answers. Fans are speculating that Locke’s character is actually a variant of Wanda’s son Billy and that his reason for traveling the Witches’ Road is so that he can gain the power to revive his mother. Theintroduction of an older Billy would drastically increase the chances of Wanda’s return to the MCU, and fans have become convinced about the identity of Locke’s character.
However,Agatha All Alongis already falling into the same trap thatWandaVisiondid. If Teen doesn’t end up being Billy, the series may feel like a disappointment to some fans. The other theory is thatAgatha All Alongwill feature the revival of Scarlet Witch, and while MCU projects are meant to spark fan theories,WandaVisionwas a lesson in putting too many expectations on a specific one. The first two episodes ofAgatha All Alongmade plenty of references to Wanda, and the analysis of her potential return will likely only intensify as the season goes on.
Will Agatha All Along Actually Learn From The Mephisto Obsession?
ThoughWandaVision’s Mephisto obsession was a lesson for fans on expectations, Marvel could learn something from the situation too. There’s no doubt that the studio saw the Mephisto discussions on social media and the reactions to the character not being introduced. Being aware of fan sentiment, Marvel should also know how fans have been feeling about Scarlet Witch’s underwhelming and undeserved death since it happened in 2021. They must’ve known thatthe release of a new project that has direct ties to Wanda would prompt major discussions about her return, and for it to specifically happen inAgatha All Along.

Agatha All Along features many returning characters from WandaVision both inside and outside Wanda’s Westview Hex - here’s who makes an appearance.
On the other hand, Marvel has always made the Disney+ shows recommended but not necessary viewing.Reviving Scarlet Witchwould obviously bea huge plot point that should arguably happen in a movie instead of a miniseries. It’s too important of a moment to be missed by general audiences who don’t keep up with the Disney+ shows, and that is if Marvel even brings her back at all. Though fans shouldn’t put all their expectations on the inclusion of Billy Maximoff or the return of Scarlet Witch inAgatha All Along, it doesn’t mean that they should give up complete hope.
