Now, the popular character is officially getting her own WandaVision spinoff series. Per Variety:
A “WandaVision” spinoff starring Kathryn Hahn is in development at Disney Plus from Marvel Studios, Variety has learned exclusively from sources.
Hahn would reprise the role of Agatha Harkness in the series, which is described by sources as a dark comedy, though exact plot details remain under wraps. “WandaVision” head writer Jac Schaeffer would serve as the writer and executive producer on the project. Should the spinoff go forward, it would be the first project Schaeffer has set up with Marvel since she signed an overall deal with them and 20th Television in May.
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige and other executives have not yet confirmed the news. It is also unknown if other series fan-favorites, such as Randall Park (FBI Agent Jimmy Woo) and Kat Dennings (Darcy Lewis) could return. Both have expressed interest in reprising their MCU roles.
However, something sinister was afoot as Wanda and Vision worked their way through classic sitcom eras, and — largely thanks to Agatha — it ultimately became apparent that Wanda was holding the citizens of the East Coast town hostage in “the Hex” as a result of her chaos magic.
In the season finale episode, Wanda well and truly became the Scarlet Witch in a bid to save her family, before she was forced to let them go and accept Vision’s tragic demise in Avengers: Infinity War (2018).
Marvel Studios presents “WandaVision”, a blend of classic television and the Marvel Cinematic Universe in which Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) — two super-powered beings living idealized suburban lives — begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems. The new series is directed by Matt Shakman; Jac Schaeffer is head writer.
