Agatha Director Discusses Mephisto…

By August Tales

Marvel’s beloved villain Mephisto was conspicuously named in “Agatha All Along” Episode 3, sparking widespread fan speculation. Show Director Jac Schaeffer recently discussed the high-profile moment that rocked the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) with Entertainment Weekly. The subtle drop of Mephisto’s name – a character that’s been the center of fan debates for years – catapulted fan interest.

In the known Marvel timeline, theories of Mephisto’s alleged appearance dominated the weekly discourse during ‘WandaVision.’ Yet, all was attributed to Agatha Harkness played by Kathryn Hahn. Undoubtedly, Hahn’s return to Marvel has gifted us with renewed Mephisto theories that have left fans perplexed.

Something’s Stirring in the MCU

Schaeffer admitted to intentionally creating a frenzy and hinted at more surprises coming up in the series. She expressed that the shows typically involve a blend of humor, nods, and winks with hidden legitimacy beneath. She confirmed Mephisto is indeed integral to Agatha’s storyline and advised fans to keep watching as the plot unravels more cues.

Beyond the hype of Mephisto’s potential arrival, the show currently hosts at least five prominent mysteries. These nagging questions include whether Scarlet Witch will return, ’Teen’ as Wiccan, Aubrey Plaza’s character Rio Vidal, the coveted prize at the end of The Witches’ Road, and the big one – Mephisto’s stint in the MCU.

Marvel’s Theory-Generating Machine

Similar to the trend set by WandaVision, ‘Agatha All Along’ has been a breeding ground for theories and speculation. Amid the buzz about Mephisto, focus temporarily shifted as week 1’s episodes continuously referenced Scarlet Witch. Fans enamored with Wanda Maximoff from the previous Disney+ series are now speculating her return in upcoming events like Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

While Schaeffer didn’t confirm any return, she acknowledges the high interest in the ongoing saga, even if the spotlight remains on Agatha Harkness for now. Schaeffer made a firm point, “Agatha is not a character who’s going to stand in anyone’s shadow. This is Agatha Harkness’ show.”

Speculation and Theories Galore

With the continuity of Agatha All Along, viewers are getting a kick out of the misadventures of this idiosyncratic coven. Keeping up this momentum signifies a promising outlook for the MCU’s TV portfolio on Disney+. Although, there’s a segment of fandom that’s watching for broader implications relating to emerging Marvel storylines.

A revelation of Wiccan or Wanda’s comeback could certainly send shockwaves through the internet – contradicting naysayers who thought it impossible. Judging by social media reactions, Agatha All Along appears to be resonating well with the audience. The streaming numbers are projected to spike as we approach October – alluding to Disney+ becoming a hub for witch-themed content. But could a surprise visit from Mephisto or a cameo from Wanda be in the cards? Well, in this universe, anything can happen.

Moving forward, another intriguing question is whether we’ll see the Darkhold again in the series. Only time and future episodes will tell, so stay tuned!
