Agatha All Along is clearly taking theWandaVisionapproach to Easter eggs, scattering a trail of breadcrumbs throughout each episode that nod and wink towards Marvel (and MCU) history.
One of the most beguiling, however, involves the dates on the library card that ‘Agnes’ finds during her sleuthing mission surrounding the premiere’s Jane Doe in Westview.
While Wanda Maximoff’s name appears on the tag next to ‘Oct 13’ (seemingly the date Wanda first claimed the magicalDarkholdbook), there are empty spaces on several more dates – as you can see below.
So, let’s fill these in. February 16 is Scarlet Witch actress Elizabeth Olsen’s birthday; August 28 is legendary comic artist Jack Kirby’s birthday; June 2 isMarvel Studiospresident Kevin Feige’s birthday; December 28 is Stan Lee’s birthday, and January 21 is the premiere month and year of WandaVision.
Pretty neat, right? Agatha All Along and WandaVision creator Jac Shaeffer is no stranger to rewarding fans' eagle eyes and Marvel knowledge, with WandaVision alsopaying tribute to Stan Leein one scene, while launching a cottage industry of theorists with itstitle credits Easter eggsand mentions of aerospace engineers (thatdidn’t quite pan out the way some had hoped).
Agatha All Along, starring Kathryn Hahn, Joe Locke, and Aubrey Plaza, is currently streaming onDisneyPlus, with Hahn’s titular Westview witch currently assembling a coven to walk theWitches' Road.
