Aubrey Plaza’s Rio Vidal wasunmaskedasDeathinAgatha All Along episode 7, but showrunner and creator Jac Schaeffer has already addressed a big Thanos-shaped question posed by Marvel fans.
For the unaware, Marvel’s comics frequently depict Thanos as being enamored or obsessed with the personification of Death – even going as far as snapping away half the universe with the Infinity Gauntlet in a twisted bid to impress her.
While Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame sidestepped that aspect of the Mad Titan’s motivations, the arrival of Death in the MCU has led to many – understandably – thinking that Thanos won’t be far behind.
However, as Schaeffer unequivocally toldInverse, Thanos won’t be showing up in Agatha All Along.
“Thanos is not in my show, so I can’t speak to any Thanos connections. Thanos stans out there, I have no answers for you.”
Despite that, Schaeffer says that the final two episodes of Agatha’s standalone series – streaming from October 30 – will reveal more about Death.
“There will be a little bit more illuminating about our version of Death, but what I will say is we generally leave some of it to interpretation in this show. But you’ll get a little bit more understanding of how she operates in the last two episodes.”
