Agatha Harkness' Ending In WandaVision Is A Nightmare, Says Kathryn Hahn

[Aquaboy]

Kathryn Hahn, who portrayed Agnes/Agatha Harkness in Marvel Studios’ WandaVision on Disney+, calls her character’s ending in the series a nightmare. The Emmy-nominated actress debuted as the titular pair’s “noisy neighbor” in the first MCU Phase 4 television series. As WandaVision paid homage to sitcoms of yesteryear, Hahn nailed every iteration before it was revealed Anges was “Agatha All Along”—a centuries-old witch desperate to known the secret to Wanda Maximoff’s (Elizabeth Olsen) power.

Taking place after Avengers: Endgame, WandaVision sees Wanda inadvertently turn the town of Westfield into an isolated, idyllic sitcom reality (aka “the Hex”) in a subconscious attempt to cope with the loss of Vision (Paul Bettany). In WandaVision’s finale, Wanda, now Scarlet Witch, and Agatha went head to head. Thanks to some well-placed runes, Scarlet Witch was able to drain Agatha of her power and trap her within the role/mental prison of the noisy neighbor. Before Scarlet Witch left Westfield, the series deliberately left the door open for Agatha’s story to continue, with the latter saying, “you’re gonna need me.” Wanda seemed to agree with this, telling Agatha, “If I do, I know where to find you.”

In a recent interview with The A.V. Club, Hahn spoke on her Emmy nomination for WandaVision and “The Series Finale.” Hahn was asked about telling The New York Times she didn’t necessarily view what happened to Agatha as a punishment but instead a much-needed rest and whether she still felt that way. Read her response below:

“I’m glad you brought that up because I actually don’t. I think it’s kind of the worst. I kind of was making a joke when I said that. I actually do think it’s kind of the worst. I mean, to clip her wings and put her somewhere like that with boring people and not have anything to do. It’s the worst, it’s a nightmare. Yeah. I mean, [Wanda] basically lobotomized her.”

Before Scarlet Witch “lobotomized” her, Agatha begged her not to. The breakout villain’s future remains somewhat uncertain, but Marvel Studios President has said that Hahn's next MCU gig “can’t come soon enough.” WandaVision’s post-credits scene saw Scarlet Witch experiment with the Dark Hold and hear the voices of her children (presumably from the multiverse). Olsen will reprise her role in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness alongside Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sorcerer Supreme. Given Agatha’s connection to Wanda and her warnings of chaos magic, it would make sense for Scarlet Witch to seek the dark witch’s help in this film.

WandaVision's Agatha will likely wake up from her nightmare in Phase 4 as there are several projects she could appear in. This includes everything multiverse-related, from Loki and What If…? to Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. It’s also worth mentioning how Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is seemingly recruiting people for the Dark Avengers. While Agatha doesn’t seem like the type to work under anyone, she would certainly jump at the opportunity to get one over on Scarlet Witch.
