Marvel has unleashed a specialbehind-the-scenes lookat the upcomingWandaVisionspin-off Agatha: Darkhold Diaries, and fans have already spotted a major MCU Easter egg.
Soon after the clip was posted toTwitter, eagle-eyed fans quickly drew attention to one shot where Agatha Harkness, played by Kathryn Hahn, is seen walking on a cobble-stone path in a dark woodland, which looks very similar to the Witches' Road. One viewer posted the screenshot toRedditstating, “I’m calling it now, this scene takes place on the Witches' Road”, while other users in the thread appear to agree.
Further down in the Reddit chain, another user explains that in the book, “Agatha guides Wanda through the Witches' Road to find why witchcraft is weakening. The goddess Witchcraft resides here. In the book, someone related to Wanda takes on the mantle of the goddess, but I’m wondering if the MCU will do its own thing and make Wanda become the goddess at some point.”
If the characters spotted in the featuretteareon Witches' Road, it’d support the well-spread theory that Heartstopper’s Joe Locke is playing Wiccan, the magic-wielding reincarnation of one of Scarlet Witch and Vision’s sons. For now, Marvel has suggested that Locke’s character is simply a familiar, but given familiars aren’t typically sorcerers themselves, there could be more to his role than has been revealed so far.
So does this mean that Wanda and Wiccan will appear in the series? It could make sense, though it looks like we won’t be finding out anytime soon as the studio is keeping the plot details for Darkhold Diaries tightly under wraps, only revealing that the series focuses on the WandaVison antagonist and will be made up of nine episodes.
