Complete WandaVision spoilers ahead! The episode of Marvel Studios’ WandaVision last week showed that others saw it coming when it was reported that Agnes of Kathryn Hahn was indeed none other than Agatha Harkness, Marvel Comics witch.
The discovery comes after the character of Elizabeth Olsen creeps down into the basement of the home of Agnes, only to discover eerie trees, spooky fog, and unidentified grimoires concealed from the jovial West View view.
WandaVision photography director Jess Hall, speaking in a recent interview, confirmed that Marvel President Kevin Feige had just one note for the series, it’s gotta be scary.

However, the disclosure of Agnes as Agatha Harkness has Marvel fans talking about the final two episodes of the season, including theories from Marvel Comics about who else we might see show up.

We are only two weeks away from figuring out how far the rabbit hole, or eerie cellar, goes, with rumors already running wild about the surprise special guest in the season.
The first seven episodes of WandaVision are currently available on Disney+ with new episodes falling at 3 AM EST / 12 AM PT on Friday mornings.
