Kathryn Hahn On "Agatha All Along" Opening: A Triumphant Turn From "WandaVision"
Kathryn Hahn's turn as the nosy, yet surprisingly powerful Agnes in Disney+'s WandaVision was a comedic highlight of the series. However, the final episode of the show, "Series Finale," took a shocking and delightful turn, revealing Agnes' true identity as the iconic Marvel Comics villain, Agatha Harkness. The moment was capped off with a catchy song and a performance that solidified Hahn's place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In a recent interview, Hahn opened up about the reveal and the impact of the now iconic "Agatha All Along" song:
"It felt like a dream"
Hahn described the experience of filming the scene as exhilarating: "It felt like a dream. The energy on set that day was insane. I remember feeling so much joy and excitement, and I think that really came across in the performance. I felt like I was just letting go and having fun."
A Song That's Now an Anthem
The "Agatha All Along" song, written by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, became an instant sensation, embraced by both fans and critics. It was an unexpected, yet perfect, way to unveil Agatha's true nature, and it quickly became a meme, inspiring countless parodies and covers.
"I never imagined it would be so big," Hahn admitted. "It's been so much fun to see how people have responded to the song, and it's been really exciting to be part of something that has brought so much joy to people."
"Agatha: Coven of Chaos"
The success of the "Agatha All Along" reveal opened up a world of possibilities for Hahn and her character. The "WandaVision" finale hinted at Agatha's potential return, and that potential has now been realized with the upcoming Disney+ series, "Agatha: Coven of Chaos." The show will explore Agatha's past and delve deeper into her powers and her relationship with the magical world.
A New Chapter for Agatha Harkness
Hahn is incredibly excited to explore this new chapter in Agatha's story. She's ready to take on the challenge of portraying a character with more depth and nuance, and she's eager to work with the incredible team behind "Agatha: Coven of Chaos."
"I feel like I'm just getting started with Agatha," Hahn said. "There's so much more to explore about her, and I'm excited to see where her journey takes her. I think this show is going to be something really special."
The success of "Agatha All Along" was a testament to Hahn's ability to seamlessly blend humor, suspense, and a touch of the macabre. "Agatha: Coven of Chaos" promises to further explore this unique combination, solidifying Kathryn Hahn's place as a powerhouse in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
