Following a stand-out debut inWandaVision, Kathryn Hahn’s cackling witchAgatha Harknessis now heading back to our screens with her very own show titled Agatha All Along. Although that’s set to debut in the coming days onDisney Plus, the actor is already looking towards the future for her much beloved character.
The question is then — would Hahn be keen for her Agatha to encounter the Fantastic Four in the MCU, honoring the witch’s comic book origins? Speaking to GamesRadar+ and theInside Total Film podcast, Hahn’s answer was a resounding yes: “I would love to play with that cast. They are all incredible. And Matt Shakman, who is incredible too, he’s directing the film and did all of WandaVision. I’m very excited for that movie.”
Outside of that Fantastic Four hope, Hahn seems open to any possibility within the MCU explaining that part of the beauty of her take on Agatha is that she’s kind of a free agent. As Hahn emphasizes, because they have already drawn Harkness away from the comics, they have more freedom with what they can do with the witch on-screen.
Hahn adds: “This show was such an unexpected surprise so I have no expectations. I know in the comics that she touches on a lot of different worlds. But I also know that she can go anywhere as this witch is kind of her own bird out of the comics, it’s not a straight story. Jac [Schaeffer, writer/director] created her from a lot of different elements from Agatha in the comics, so she could go anywhere. It’s really fun.”
Agatha All Along debuts with a double episode premiere viaDisneyPlus on September 18 in the US and September 19 in the UK. You can listen to our full interview with Hahn in next week’s episode of theInside Total Film podcast.
