KATHRYN HAHN EXPLAINS HOW AGATHA ALL ALONG CHANGED DURING DEVELOPMENT

Agatha All Along is one of the most anticipated Marvel series heading to Disney+ in 2024. According to the show's star, Kathryn Hahn, the story went through a few changes during development.

"These two shows were such living, breathing organisms," Hahn told Rolling Stone, referring to WandaVision and the upcoming spinoff. "I had a movement teacher, the incredible Wesley Fata, who would say to us, 'champions adjust.' And that became a catchphrase between all of us. You always had to be very flexible, because it really did shift. And so you couldn't even hold onto something very tightly. But I knew that the base arc, the important stuff, the emotional goal posts, were firmly in place. So the difference between reading it on the page and seeing it almost two years later was so minimal."

Hahn previously revealed how she learned that her character would return in a spinoff while on the set of Knives Out 2. "I got a call from Louis D'Esposito saying, 'How'd you like your own Marvel show?'" she recalled. "My heart was pounding. I could barely understand what he was saying. I knew what it meant, but I just kept finding ways to minimize it for myself until the first day of shooting." Development for the spinoff began in Oct. 2021 and the spinoff series was officially announced a month later.

Will Agatha Harkness Appear in the Avengers Movies?

With the series set to hit screens in a few weeks, Hahn addressed the possibility of her Agatha making a jump to the big screen in the upcoming Avengers movies. "I would say, I think I'd only be asked if it was necessary and juicy. So, who knows?" the actor said without giving away any revealing information. "The craziest, most perfect, side-door entrance to this world is to be a witch. It feels wicked step-sister-y. And I really like it like that," she continued.

Per the official synopsis, "Agatha All Along follows the infamous Agatha Harkness who 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."

Along with Hahn, Agatha All Along features Joe Locke, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, Maria Dizzia, Paul Adelstein, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Okwui Okpokwasili, Debra Jo Rupp, with Patti LuPone, and Aubrey Plaza. The nine-episode series is directed by Jac Schaeffer, Rachel Goldberg and Gandja Montiero. Producers include Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Mary Livanos and Jac Schaeffer.

Agatha All Along premieres with two episodes on Disney+ on Sept. 18. The other seven episodes will follow weekly.
