It began with 2008’s “Iron Man,” a film that introduced the world to Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark with the hint that he could be part of something greater. Over 30 films later, the story of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is still being told, albeit with various tributaries and detours that introduce new characters and new worlds that may or may not cross paths one day. Each film in the MCU stands on its own to some degree, but like building blocks, they all connect as part of one interconnected universe. And in that way, watching the Marvel movies in order tells one grand story.
There are a couple of different ways to watch the Marvel movies in order, but below we run down how to watch the MCU in chronological and release date order. Indeed, some films like “Captain Marvel” and “Captain America: The First Avenger” are full-on prequels...

Disney pushed the opening of “Elio,” the studio’s upcoming Pixar film, by a week, while unveiling the release dates of Sam Raimi’s “Send Help” and James L. Brooks’ “Ella McCay.”
“Elio,” an animated science fiction adventure film, will debut on June 20. It was originally slated to open on June 13. That means it will no longer go head-to-head with Universal and DreamWorks’ live-action remake of “How to Train Your Dragon,” which could have cannibalized its core audience of kids and families. In its new date, it will face off against Sony’s “28 Years Later,” a zombie thriller that is pitched at older moviegoers.
Those are also the crowds that will be turning up for “Send Help” and “Ella McCay,” both of which will be released by 20th Century Studios. “Send Help,” a horror film with Rachel McAdams, Chris Pang, Dylan O’Brien, and Dennis Haysbert, will open on Jan.

This article contains spoilers for "Captain America: Brave New World."
Marvel's "Captain America: Brave New World" has a very good title for a movie that features the first big-screen appearance of Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) in his new role as the titular superhero. Compared to Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), the former Falcon's Captain America debut was underwhelming since it happened in the Disney+ show "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" (2021) instead of a tentpole movie, but "Brave New World" is a powerful title that immediately makes one hope that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is correcting course with gusto.
In some ways, it does. "Brave New World" might be a safe, forgettable rehash, but it showcases the new Captain America's skills and tenacity (not to mention his massive arsenal of weapons and equipment) with great dedication that makes the viewer fully believe that Sam Wilson is ready to lead the Avengers.

The MCU is gradually paving the way for the arrival of the X-Men, and “Captain America: Brave New World” makes one of the biggest moves in that direction.
The film introduces adamantium, the rare and nearly indestructible metal best known for being fused with Wolverine’s skeleton. While Hugh Jackman is set to return as Wolverine in “Deadpool & Wolverine,” this marks the first time adamantium appears in the main Avengers timeline, and it comes from an unexpected source.
Back in “Eternals” (2021), the film revealed that Earth was actually an egg for a Celestial named Tiamut. If the entity had fully emerged, the planet would have been destroyed. To prevent that, Sersi used her powers to freeze Tiamut mid-transformation, leaving behind a massive structure in the ocean. Since then, its remains have become a global point of interest, and “Brave New World” picks up that thread.

We're roughly 48 hours away from Captain America: Brave New World's Thursday preview screenings and the latest box office projections are now in.
According to Variety, Marvel Studios' first movie in 2025 will gross $80 million - $85 million over the three-day weekend and $90 million - $95 million through the President's Day holiday. At the international box office, a $110 million debut looks likely, meaning it should open with north of $200 million worldwide.
When you consider that The Marvels made only $206.1 million during its entire theatrical run, you'd best believe Marvel Studios will be very happy with numbers like these. If the reviews are good, it could exceed expectations.
Captain America: Brave New World doesn't have much in the way of competition in North America and, as a result, will easily land the biggest domestic debut of the year.
The movie's opening is above Eternals ($71 million) and Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten...

Paging Sam Wilson! “Captain America: Brave New World” flies to cinemas over the weekend, and Marvel’s latest adventure hopes to thaw an icy box office.
“Captain America: Brave New World,” in which Anthony Mackie’s Avenger takes over the star-spangled shield from Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers, is targeting $80 million to $85 million over the traditional weekend and $90 million to $95 million through the President’s Day holiday. The tentpole, which cost north of $180 million before marketing, is landing in roughly 4,100 North American theaters.
The film is expected to add another $110 million at the international box office, though it’ll contend in China with “Ne Zha 2,” which has become the highest-grossing release in the country’s history with $1.1 billion and counting, and “Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy,” which is going straight to Peacock in the U.S. but playing theatrically in the rest of the world.

Director Sam Raimi is making his long-awaited return to horror with Send Help, and Deadline reports that Golden Globe nominee Dennis Haysbert (No Exit) has joined the cast.
Haysbert joins previously announced cast members Rachel McAdams, Dylan O’Brien, and Chris Pang.
The upcoming 20th Century Studios project follows “two colleagues (O’Brien and McAdams) who become stranded on a deserted island, the only survivors of a plane crash. On the island, they must overcome past grievances and work together to survive, but ultimately, it’s a battle of wills and wits to make it out alive.”
Character details, of course, are under wraps at this time.
Haysbert is perhaps best known for his role in popular TV series “24”, which earned him a Golden Globe nomination in 2002. The actor more recently appeared in Hulu’s intense thriller No Exit, and also does expansive voice acting work with credits including Masters of the Universe: Revelation...

Everybody wants to be a casting director. More than any other demographic, superhero fans have a knack for zeroing in on the hottest names and most in-demand stars on any given day and immediately dreaming up what kind of comic book role they'd be perfect for. Sometimes this works out nicely for everybody involved, like the no-brainer choice to cast Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool or Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange. Other times, well, either the top picks simply didn't come to fruition for one reason or another ... or they did, but in a way that infuriated fanbases even more.
Colman Domingo, who most recently earned a Best Actor Oscar nomination for the prison drama "Sing Sing," has spent years near the top of many a superhero fan's wish list. In fact, the acclaimed actor has already dipped his toe into both sides of the divide, albeit in voice roles exclusively...

Sam Raimi is back in the director’s chair for a new horror thriller, Send Help, and filming is already underway. The Evil Dead creator has tapped Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien to lead the survival horror movie, which is being produced by 20th Century Studios.
The film, written by Baywatch screenwriters Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, is described as a mix between Misery and Castaway. The story follows two colleagues who survive a plane crash and find themselves stranded on a deserted island. To make it out alive, they must put aside their differences and work together, but survival quickly turns into a battle of wits.
Producer Zainab Azizi recently shared a behind-the-scenes image on her Instagram story, showing director chairs for both her and Raimi. The caption, “Day 7,” confirms that filming has been underway for at least a week. Raimi is producing Send Help through his Raimi Productions banner alongside Azizi.

The new trailer for "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" showcases the movie's 1960s-inspired world in all of its glory. It also offers us a fantastic glimpse at an even more comic-accurate version of Ben "The Thing" Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) than back in the days when Michael Chiklis rocked the practical costume in Fox's "Fantastic Four" movies. Susan "Invisible Woman" Storm's (Vanessa Kirby) invisibility and force field powers are similarly on display, while Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn) gets a "Flame on!" moment that's considerably more heroic-looking than the one Chris Evans' take on the Human Torch pulled in "Deadpool & Wolverine." We even get a closer look at the Fantastic Four's robot, H.E.R.B.I.E.
There's one particular moment the trailer carefully dances around, though. At no point do we see Reed "Mr. Fantastic" Richards' (Pedro Pascal) stretching powers. In fact, the trailer doesn't reference them in any way,...

Marvel has unveiled the first trailer for “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.”
The film stars Pedro Pascal (“The Last of Us”) as Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby (“Napoleon”) as the Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn (“Stranger Things) as the Human Torch and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (“The Bear”) as the Thing. The cast also includes Ralph Ineson as Galactus, Julia Garner as the Silver Surfer, Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne and John Malkovich.
The trailer provides glimpses of each of the heroes’ lives before and after they got their powers, along with a sneak peek of villain Galactus. But most of all, it underlines the importance of the Fantastic Four as a unit: “Whatever life throws at us, we face it together — as a family,” Kirby says in the clip.
This version of the Fantastic Four will take place in a retro-futuristic 1960s Manhattan. Feige confirmed on “The Official Marvel Podcast” that the film...

Agatha All Along came out on Disney+ last year and was the best Marvel series I'd watched in a while. That surprised me. Marvel series have been pretty hit or miss over the years, and Agatha All Along was a spinoff of WandaVision that drilled down on breakout supporting character Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn). It felt a bit like a cash grab, but I was delighted with its fleet-footed storytelling, vivid performances and sense of whimsy. Plus that song is a banger.
Jac Schaeffer was the showrunner on both WandaVision and Agatha All Along, so clearly she knows what she's doing. According to Agatha star Patti LuPone (Lilia), Schaeffer turned down the opportunity to make second seasons of both shows. “[Schaffer] said, ‘I don’t do second seasons,’” LuPone said on the Andy Cohen Live podcast. “She said, ‘They wanted me to do a second season of WandaVision and I didn’t.

We're now 34 movies into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with three more on the way this year. The franchise has dominated the silver screen for the past two decades, and within the past half decade it has extended that reach to the small screen. It's truly revolutionary how Marvel Studios has been able to achieve those levels of success time and time again, but the audiences keep coming back to see their favorite superheroes, proving that the idea of "superhero fatigue" isn't real.
But even the biggest empire started with just one idea, and that idea eventually spawned a sequel before it led to all of this. Yes, the MCU has plenty of sequels in the midst of all of its various spinoffs, prequels and reboots, and some of them are the best installments in the whole franchise. Look no further than Captain America: The Winter Soldier or Avengers: Infinity War.

The next Avengers movies haven't had the easiest of journeys to the big screen. Original plans called for them to be released in the same year, with Jeff Loveness (Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania) writing The Kang Dynasty and Michael Waldron (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness) tasked with Secret Wars.
Jonathan Majors' personal and legal issues combined with the largely negative response to the Ant-Man threequel meant Kang the Conqueror was dropped as the MCU next big bad.
The return of directors Joe and Anthony Russo and writer Stephen McFeely later transformed Avengers 5 into Avengers: Doomsday - where Robert Downey Jr. will be the lead villain as Doctor Doom - and both Loveness and Waldron's scripts have been scrapped.

We haven't seen the last of Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange in the Marvel Cinematic Universe; just don't expect to see him in "Avengers: Doomsday." This isn't a rumor or hearsay, mind you, as the Oscar-nominated actor behind the Master of the Mystic Arts has personally confirmed that he will be sitting out the big team-up film next year. However, he is going to be back for "Avengers: Secret Wars," which opens up a great many questions about what's in store.
In a recent interview with Variety, the actor was discussing his upcoming film "The Thing With Feathers." Naturally, the subject of his future as Doctor Strange came up. Cumberbatch then confirmed that his character won't appear in "Doomsday," which will be directed by the Russo Brothers (who previously helmed "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Endgame," among other MCU films). Cumberbatch even acknowledged that he might have slipped up, saying, "Is that a spoiler?...

Benedict Cumberbatch doesn’t like to overshare, but sometimes he just can’t help himself.
Take the two hours we spend on a recent London afternoon discussing his new film, “The Thing With Feathers,” a dark drama about a father struggling to hold his family together after his wife dies suddenly. While the film paints an unvarnished portrait of a man in crisis, Cumberbatch feels awkward talking about how he channeled that kind of soul-eviscerating grief on-screen. “The Brit in me is a bit embarrassed about diving too deeply into what I do,” he admits.
There’s a polite reserve to Cumberbatch, as well as a discomfort with the trappings of stardom. Still, there are moments when his guard drops and suddenly he’s telling all.

Since then, it's become clear to fans and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige that entrusting the relatively inexperienced Rick & Morty scribes with the Multiverse Saga's final chapters perhaps wasn't the wisest move.
Jonathan Majors' personal and legal issues combined with the largely negative response to the Ant-Man threequel saw plans to make Kang the Conqueror the McU's next big bad essentially scrapped. Both Loveness and Waldron were removed from their respective movies, but only after Waldron was tasked with rewriting what then became "Avengers 5."

Both in the MCU timeline and the comics, his obsession with balance, conquest, and the Infinity Stones makes him a central antagonist to Earth’s mightiest heroes. While his portrayal in the MCU has become iconic, longtime Marvel fans often compare this version to his comic counterpart, sparking debates about which iteration of Thanos is truly more powerful.
Thanos was created by Jim Starlin and debuted in Iron Man #55 (1973). In the comics, he’s portrayed as a nihilistic philosopher with a godlike hunger for power, motivated by his love for the cosmic entity Death. Meanwhile, the MCU’s Thanos, portrayed by Josh Brolin, takes on a more utilitarian angle - a self-styled savior...

Yet another major star from the Marvel Cinematic Universe's past is returning to help conclude the Multiverse Saga. Hayley Atwell is apparently set to return as Agent Cartner in "Avengers: Doomsday," which is due to hit theaters in 2026. This, according to the folks at Deadline, with the outlet reporting that Atwell will indeed return in some capacity in the film, which is being directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, of "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Avengers: Endgame" fame.
Plot details for the moment are being kept under wraps. What we know for sure is that the film will see several major actors returning to the MCU fold. Most recently, it was revealed that Chris Evans, known for playing Captain America for nearly a decade, will be returning in some capacity. It's unclear for now if Evans is playing Cap, or another role entirely. To that end, Robert Downey Jr., who previously played Iron Man,...

Two perfect replacement teams for the Avengers have already been set up in the MCU, but both of them have the same huge problem to overcome. Despite being central to the MCU during the Infinity Saga, the Avengers team has been absent from the franchise ever since Thanos was defeated during the Battle of Earth in Avengers: Endgame. A new version of the Avengers is expected to form soon, perhaps as early as 2025's Captain America: Brave New World, but Marvel Studios has also established a number of new superhero teams.
Trailers for Captain America: Brave New World confirmed that President Ross will urge Sam Wilson to rebuild the Avengers, prompting speculation that a new version of the team will be seen in the Phase 5 movie. It will be great to see the McU's newest heroes recruited to the new Avengers team, but it's likely that the well-known team will...

Nowadays, the concept of the multiverse has become part of the pop culture lexicon, mostly due to Marvel and its attempts to usher in the age of multiversal storytelling with its superhero movies. The process really began Sony and Marvel's "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" back in 2018, then picked up with 2021's "Spider-Man: No Way Home," before Marvel Studios itself picked up the baton and ran with it for 2022's "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" — a movie that tried to distinguish between different timelines with distinct designs for each, but which ultimately felt like it didn't quite hit the mark.
Meanwhile, Marvels' rival, DC, also tried its hand at introducing audiences to the multiverse with some ill-fated projects such as the superheroic box office bomb that was "The Flash." Still, by the time "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" debuted in 2023, the concept of multiple universes that collide with one another was well-established.

While ‘The Marvels’ may have been a box office disappointment, it laid the groundwork for one of Marvel Comics’ most beloved superhero teams – the Young Avengers.
At the movie’s conclusion, Kamala Khan visits Kate Bishop to discuss a possible team-up and mentions Cassie Lang, who recently adopted the superhero name Stature after helping her father, Ant-Man, defeat Kang the Conqueror in the Quantum Realm.
When the film was released, rumors and insider reports buzzed about a potential Young Avengers project, but since then, nothing has been confirmed, and the project has never been officially announced by the studio.
Now it seems that we’ve gotten a step closer to this project becoming a reality as one interesting team-up has been teased at Worlds of Marvel Experience.

"Deadpool & Wolverine" blew the box office away, but even the biggest fans of this cameo-packed paean to fan indulgence could surely agree that the film's appeal isn't down to its storyline. The movie represents a bizarre terminus for the trend started by such films as "Spiderman: No Way Home" and "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness," wherein movies become delivery vehicles for whatever guest appearances will elicit the biggest fan reaction. Throw in some Easter eggs and Ryan Reynolds' relentless drive to market the living hell out of whatever project he's a part of, and you've got yourself a hit. It might not resemble any kind of movie you've ever seen, but it will be a hit nonetheless.
None of this is to say that "Deadpool & Wolverine" is bad — though this issue did tear the /Film team apart — only to say that it represents something truly novel in the history of Hollywood.

This October, Marvel Studios will launch the groundbreaking animated series “Marvel Zombies” on Disney+. The show will feature famous actors from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in a mature, post-apocalyptic adventure.
The TV-ma-rated show will star Elizabeth Olsen as the Scarlet Witch again, her first appearance since “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.” The show adds to the zombie-infected alternate world first shown in the cartoon series “What If…”
Survivors are shown fighting a terrible spread caused by a quantum virus that turned even the strongest heroes into zombie-like threats. This dark story sounds like it will be a rough look at the Marvel universe.
The speaking cast for Olsen also includes Florence Pugh, Simu Liu, David Harbour, Hailee Steinfeld, and Iman Vellani. Awkwafina, Randall Park, and Dominique Thorne are other actors who will bring their popular characters to life in the animated world.

A new fan-made video presents a much smarter solution to the Scarlet Witch's problems in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The sequel to 2016's Doctor Strange also acted as a sequel to 2021's WandaVision, as Elizabeth Olsen's Darkhold-corrupted Scarlet Witch hoped to travel across the multiverse to reunite with her sons after their demise in the MCU Phase 4 series. Wanda Maximoff planned to steal the universe-hopping power from Xochitl Gomez's America Chavez, which brought her into conflict with Doctor Strange himself.
The Scarlet Witch's plan in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was pretty convoluted, and ultimately didn't work the way she wanted. A new fan-made video shared by The Warp Zone described this plan as "super evil" and "super dumb," and suggests a far more suitable way for Wanda Maximoff to achieve her mission. The video notes that the Scarlet Witch could have mentored...

Legacy characters are nothing new in superhero releases. Some examples of this practice have been extremely successful like ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home.’ Some have been less successful as was the case with ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.’
The next MCU projects rumored to include plenty of legacy characters are ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ set for a 2026 release and ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ set for a 2027 release. Keep in mind that there are already over 50 characters rumored to appear in ‘Secret Wars’ which really doesn’t help the credibility of all those vast rumors and reports.
Cosmic Circus’ Alex Perez however now reports that there have been talks to include All legacy characters. This was said during his November Ama, keep in mind that Perez is highly reliable and has a solid track record when it comes to scoops and leaks.

According to recent comments by Chief Creative Officer Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios is still shaping its movie universe with possible comebacks and adding new characters.
Even though production has been having problems lately, the company still sees the Blade reboot as a major project. The vampire hunter movie, which stars Oscar winner Mahershala Ali, has had different directors and plot changes but is still a top priority. Feige told the Brazilian entertainment news site Omelete, “We love the character, and we love Mahershala’s version of him.”
Fans got even more excited when the executive hinted that Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch might be coming back. Feige hinted that her story might continue even after she seemed to die in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” and wasn’t in the spinoff “Agatha Forever.” “We’re excited to find out when and how the Scarlet Witch might return,” he stated.

The flood waters have receded, the dust has settled, and Oswald Cobb's power-hungry Penguin is now exactly where we thought he'd be following his final scene in "The Batman" — left with nothing standing in his way for control of the city's criminal underworld. The eight-episode run of HBO's "The Penguin" lived up to its billing as "The Sopranos" in Gotham, adding all sorts of complexity and deeper layers to the one-dimensional, yet always entertaining mobster played by Colin Farrell in director Matt Reeves' 2022 blockbuster. Viewers who tuned into the spinoff series have been given a satisfying character study, detailing how an overambitious mama's boy turned into an insecure man hellbent on proving everyone wrong throughout his murderous rise to power.

This article contains spoilers for "Agatha All Along."
Whatever happened to the Scarlet Witch? The Marvel Cinematic Universe's Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) has a devoted fanbase who've stayed stanning as she went from henchvillain to Avenger to a multiverse-unraveling big bad.
Wanda was last seen in "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness," with all of Mount Wundagore coming down on her. Death in superhero stories follows two rules, though: if there's no shot where the light leaves someone's eye, and no corpse is seen afterward, they aren't really dead. Wanda got neither, so her return seems inevitable, even if "WandaVision" spin-off "Agatha All Along" played coy about her survival.
Olsen, who has admitted in the past that "I never know what [Marvel Studios is] doing next," seems open to putting on the scarlet tiara again, though. During a recent interview on Dublin's FM104 radio with her "His Three Daughters" co-star Carrie Coon,...

Since her last appearance in ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,’ fans have been left wondering about her fate.
In that film, Wanda turned villainous, not hesitating to take lives in her quest to reunite with her lost children.
By the end, she appears to be defeated and possibly dead after collapsing Darkhold Castle on top of herself.

Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe proved to be a disjointed mess of aimless stories without much of anything substantial connecting them, with Marvel's actual shows and movies being of wildly mixed quality. Phase 5, on the other hand, has a clearer aim and focus on the multiverse, with Kang having shown up in places as a way to build him up as the next Thanos — before that failed miserably and the character got scrapped from the MCU.
Just like Phase 4, the current phase of the MCU has fluctuated in terms of quality, producing some of the lowest-rated titles in the entire Marvel experiment (like "Secret Invasion") as well as some truly special and deservedly acclaimed movies like "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3." In between those extremes, however, is a curious case. "Agatha All Along," the latest Marvel TV show, and the first spin-off of another MCU series, has gone...

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness might not have received top compliments from critics, but we cannot disagree that it brought us the baddest version of Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlett Witch. Obsessed with bringing her family back, Wanda turns to dark magic to wander through universes.

With the Darkhold, she was able to transfer her consciousness to a counterpart of herself in other worlds and bend them to their will, even if it meant turning the mighty Illuminati into pasta.

Scarlet Witch is undeniably one of the MCU’s most popular characters. At first, she was introduced as a villain in the ‘Avengers’ franchise, she eventually joined the team but was later consumed by her grief after losing nearly everything and turning into a villain.
Wanda’s last appearance was in ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,’ where she served as the main antagonist. In a final act of sacrifice, the Scarlet Witch brought down a castle on top of herself and destroyed every copy of the Darkhold in existence.
Now ‘Agatha All Along,’ despite being Agatha’s standalone show, brought focus back to the Scarlet Witch. We know that the show introduced her reincarnated son back to the fold, Billy Maximoff, and presumably, he might be Wanda’s way to return to the MCU.
But why would Wanda return to the MCU in the first place? Well, it...

Episode 7 of ‘Agatha All Along’ just released. This week’s episode brought us Trial of Time and since Lilia Calderu is the divination witch, this trial was always going to be about her. If you can recall, Lilia Calderu has been dropping subtle, random but massive hints all throughout episodes.
She successfully delivered a list of coven members to Agatha, she predicted Alice’s death, and as she recently revealed, she saw what Billy Maximoff ultimately became and decided to put a sigil on him.
Her choice possibly also massively affected ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,’ as we recently theorized.
In any case, we’ve finally learned Lilia’s tragic backstory. Lilia was a little girl centuries ago in Sicily and she trained to be a witch along with the rest of her coven. We also learned that her coven was ultimately wiped out by a Plague.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Agatha All Along episode 6, "Familiar By Thy Side."
Marvel Television's Agatha All Along might have just introduced the perfect way for the Scarlet Witch's much-anticipated return to the MCU to be explained. As the first official spinoff from 2021's WandaVision, Agatha All Along's storyline has been heavily influenced by Wanda Maximoff's Scarlet Witch, even though she hasn't made a physical appearance in the new MCU series. Not only has the aftermath of the Scarlet Witch's Westview takeover been explored, but the trouble she caused Kathryn Hahn's Agatha Harkness has also been detailed, and one of her superpowered sons made his triumphant return.
