While the MCU did considerably cut its slate for 2024, giving the mega-franchise some much-needed room to breathe, it’ll do see one last outing on the small screen this year. Although the cinematic giant is yet to find its footing in the realm of TV, it did initially start on a high note withWandaVision, which brought something new to the table, at least with its initial episodes.
With Kathryn Hahn, who was the biggest highlight of the Elizabeth Olsen-led series, set to lead her own MCU show,Agatha All Alonghas now bagged a major record under its belt even before its premiere.
Agatha All AlongIs the First of Its Kind for Marvel
Like the Guardians, Agatha Harkness isn’t exactly a top-list character from the comics, and while the former did have their fair share of standalone issues, this wasn’t the case for Agatha. Despite having appeared in severalScarlet Witchand earlyFantastic Fourissues, the character never got the opportunity to lead her own comic book series.

This makes the upcomingAgatha All Alongshow thefirst Marvel outing, whose lead never had their own titular comic book series, and we’ve onlyKathryn Hahnto thank for it. Despite great performances from Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany, it was Hahn, who stole the show with her MCU debut inWandaVision.

Arguably one of the better twist villains in recent years, her character felt like a reminiscence of old classic Disney villains, and she instantly became a favorite among fans. However, it remains to be seen how well this decision from the cinematic giant will pan out, and if one has to go by the actress’ words, we’re in for a good time.
Kathryn Hahn Assured Fans the Show Avoided One Issue on the Visual Front
One of the major issues that has plagued the superhero industry in recent years is the VFX output, as artists are not being given enough time to polish out all the edges. ButperHahn,Agatha All Alongwas largely immune to it, as they mainly took the traditional route for its effects.
There were so many things but what popped up in my mind is that there is so little CGI. The artistry involved… It was a delight to be in that kind of artistry and set. Costumes, hair, makeup.
With no titular comic book issues to look back to, it’ll be interesting to see what route the showrunners have taken with the series. Moreover, if done right, this show could set the ball rolling for the mega-franchise on the small screen, which will be then followed byDaredevil: Born Againnext, which has taken amore traditional approachto TV.
The first two episodes ofAgatha All Alongwill drop on Disney Plus on 07 July 2025.
