Welcome back, everyone.
We have a first look at Marvel's Agatha Coven of Chaos.
They started filming, so there's a bunch of scenes
that dropped, so we'll break it all down.
There's a whole bunch of Easter eggs, and it's the return of Billy Wilkins.
So I'll explain what's going on, because supposedly he's
going to be a huge part of the plot and what's going on with the villain group.

I know everybody's hyped about the young Avengers.
Everyone's like, What are they going to do, young Avengers?
When are they going to bring that team together?
They will be using this series to help set up Young Avengers.
I'll explain how that's going to work
because we'll also see teasers for that during Man of the wasp Quantumania.

So in the New scenes, we see Agatha Harkness at the Westview
Mall with Billy Kaplan, who's going to be the Billy Caplan persona,
at least at the beginning of the series before we learn what's really going on.
But the character Billy Caplan, is really technically, quote unquote,
Billy Maximoff, played by Joe Locke here.
He's the one that was posting a lot of these clips, these pictures.
So many thanks to him.
If you zoom in, enhanced on this one
scene of them walking through the mall here,
you can see the QR code in the background with the message.
It says be an insider that's meant to be another
one of their huge Easter eggs with a QR code that they've been doing
in all the series they did in all the She-Hulk episodes.
They've done it in a bunch of the other Marvel Disney Plus series
where you scan the QR code and you can get free comics.
Let me know in the comments which free comics
you think they're giving away with these QR codes in the Agatha episodes?
Maybe some Agatha Harkness specific comics, maybe some young Avengers.
Billy Caplan Specific comics.
You see Agatha at the regular Westview Mall with him eating snacks, talking
as if it's a normal day in the neighborhood.
She's dressed in contemporary casual clothing.
It doesn't look too goth out, which means she might still be in
full blown Agnes mode when this happens under Scarlet Witch's spell.
In this different scene, there's a Westview police car,
which seems like it's part of the larger mystery
that Agatha uncovers as she's slowly remembering what Scarlet
Witch did to her with the spell and uncovering the plot to steal Billy,
The working title of the series is there filming is Mayor of Westview in the font.
The title are meant to be a joke.
Easter Eggs for the mayor of Easttown, which is a crime drama starring
Kate Winslet about a detective investigating a murder in a sleepy town,
uncovering all kinds of spicy details and secrets about the inhabitants
while she tries to keep her own life from falling apart.
There's more to give you an idea for the vibe of the show
Now, obviously, there's going to be more comedy
happening in this Agatha series than what's happening in Mare of Easttown.
That was more of a serious drama.
But during the series, Agatha Harkness is the main character.
She's the protagonist.
They're playing her like more of a straight up
anti-hero, trying to help Billy Kaplan protect him from Morgan, let's say,
and find out why they want him.
Her rogue coven of witches in the larger machinations of Mephisto at play
because reportedly he's going to play a role during the series,
like they'll actually finally pay off some of these Mephisto jokes
if you didn't see the last couple of years.
Reportedly, Sacha Baron Cohen has been filming different scenes
as a version of MCU Mephisto for different upcoming series.
Surprisingly, the first series that were supposed to see him
during or that he'll be tied to will be the iron Heart Series,
because that series is all about the battle
between magic and technology, like the balance of magic and technology.
Agatha Harkness is also supposed to be connected to that too, but
I think they'll explain it's separate from what happened with her versus Scarlet
Witch and being put under the spell again after Scarlet Witch took off.
The Hood is going to be one of the main villains of the series,
and he'll be going up against Ironheart, supposedly Anthony Ramos,
who the character is the apprentice of Agatha Harkness,
and Mephisto will be loosely involved pulling strings from behind the scenes.
I don't think he's supposed to be a major character during that series.
The Agatha Coven of Chaos series will take place after the events of Ironheart.
I think they'll just explain that he's continuing
to pull strings from behind the scenes.
But the main idea during the series is the main
part of the story is Agatha trying to keep Aubrey Plaza as character.
Morgan Lafe in her coven of witches away from Billie, played by Joe Locke.
Here.
Morgan Le Fay's rogue coven supposedly is the one that's connected to Mephisto
in the whole idea at the end of West. Do you like the big teaser here?
When Agatha told Scarlet Witch, You're going to need me for
what's coming, you have no idea what you've done.
You have no idea what you've unleashed.
You're going to need me.
If, I do.
I know where to find you. Wait.
That was tied more to what's happening with the multiverse.
Avengers five, Qing Dynasty, The collapse of the multiverse.
All these incursions sort started teasing during Marvel Phase four.
Like during Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness with other larger
magical beings like Mephisto taking advantage of the chaos.
Like right now.
I think the idea is that Mephisto is still trapped
in his own dimension and seeking a way into the main MCU dimension.
They tease that a little bit during Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness.
When they were traveling through the multiverse,
they traveled through one of the hell dimensions
were pretty much the entirety of New York.
Like this entire
reality had turned into a version of hell, like everything is on fire.
Part of the idea is that Mephisto wants to take over the main MCU
dimension like all the other higher beings across the Marvel multiverse.
And it sounds like based on the plot he's trying to use, Morgan Lopez Coven,
whether they know it or not,
to take Billy for himself, use his power to take over the main MCU dimension.
Because if it wasn't clear from all the Wandavision
episodes, Billy has basically the same types of powers in Scarlet Witch.
Like he can warp reality.
He's meant to be an incredibly powerful magic user.
And just like in the young Avengers comics, Billy is destined
to become the next demiurge, this omnipotent, magical being basically
like on the level of what you would expect.
Scarlet Witch is powers to be like this multiverse level power
that could theoretically change control of the entire universe.
It sounds like if they're actually
using Mephisto as part of this series, that's why he really wants Bill.
Like that's the real reason in the same reason why Morgan,
the Phase coven want him to like they would want him for his power.
It just sounds like if they are using Mephisto, he's actually playing everyone,
like he's lending them some power, but also really trying to play them
during the series.
They also will address what happened to Scarlet Witch.
Like there's this big rumor going around the magic mutiny in the MCU.
The Scarlet Witch has died and they'll start to explore that.
And at some point during the series, we will see the new origin of Billy
and Tommy being reincarnated into the bodies of Billy Kaplan
and Tommy Shepherd like we saw in the comics.
So the way they explain Billy and Tommy's backstory in the MCU is super confusing.
A couple of different writers worked on it across a bunch of different years.
They tried to make sense of all that continuity.
A little more recently.
In the past, Scarlet Witch learned that her children were fake.
We saw a version of that during the One Division series.
Like she understood that she created her children with a fake version of vision.
Then when she took the hex down, her children were destroyed with it.
We saw alternate realities
in Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness, where versions of them were still alive.
So we know that they are still out there somewhere.
But in the main 616 MCU universe, they're reincarnated
magically into the bodies of Billy Kaplan and Tommy Sheppard,
and they become Wiccan and speed as part of the young Avengers eventually.
So couple of the big things that they're using
the Agatha series to set up are the formal return of Scarlet Witch.
Like we know that she's coming back.
That's not going to happen until Avengers five Qing Dynasty,
but also set up young Avengers with Billy and Tommy.
We've only seen footage of what seems like the new adult version of Billy.
I haven't seen any Tommy footage yet,
but we're supposed to get our first teaser for The Young Avengers during Amy
and the wasp Quantumania.
It's supposed to have a young Avengers Post-Credits scene teaser.
Like one of the Post-Credits scenes will be Cassie Lang
teasing the formation of the Young Avengers,
but I don't think they're actually going to come together
as a team with all the characters they've been introducing for a couple of years.
Probably not until after Avengers
five, Qing Dynasty and Secret Wars, like not till Marvel Phase seven,
just because there's a lot of conflicting reports
about when the Agatha Coven of Chaos episodes are going to be released.
Originally, they were going to try at the end of this year.
Then it was pushed like the beginning of 2024.
Now there's talk about delaying it to early 2025.
So just charting the timeline.
If you look at the Marvel Phase six schedule here, Avengers
five, Qing Dynasty is supposed to come out in spring of 2025
if they don't release Agatha Coven of Chaos episodes two,
like the beginning of that year, like right before Avengers five, Qing Dynasty
and they're still just barely introducing young Avengers characters,
like teasing that, Oh, eventually, someday we'll come together and form the team.
Then it's probably still a couple of years away
at the beginning of 2025, which puts it well into Marvel Phase seven.
Maybe we'll see a couple of the characters
start coming together before that though,
and with them setting up the return of Scarlet Witch like the actual physical
return in Avengers five Qing Dynasty, it sounds like they'll be doing more
Scarlet Witch crossovers with the X-Men in Marvel Phase seven and beyond.
That was one of the things Elizabeth Olsen said that she wanted to do that
they had not been able to do yet, like
she wanted to do more X-Men crossovers in a lot of Marvel Phase
seven and beyond will be like really hard core X-Men stuff.
Also sounds like a whole bunch of young Avengers
stuff to let me know in the comments though.
What else do you want them to do during Agatha Coven of Chaos?
Like, obviously Agatha is going to continue
to be a big character in Marvel going forward,
but essentially it's kind of like a sequel to Wandavision.
Most of the characters, like the normal townspeople that starred in Wandavision,
will be coming back during Agatha Coven of Chaos.
It's just like normal townspeople in Westview,
and it sounds like at least the first couple of episodes,
or maybe just the first episode
will tease the same thing that happened at the beginning of Wandavision,
where, like, Agatha slowly wakes up to the reality of what's actually going on.
Like, Wait a minute, why is everything so weird?
Oh, wait a minute.
That's right.
Because I'm Agatha Harkness and I'm super powerful, and we'll see her
slowly breaking free of Scarlet Witch's enchantment while she uncovers
this larger mystery with Morgan Lafe and what's happening with Billy Kaplan
because they're filming, will be getting a whole bunch more footage real soon.
So of course they'll do more videos as we get more scenes.
If you have any big questions about what's going on during the series
or like other big Marvel Phase five Marvel Phase
six stuff, just write it below in the comments.
We're going to get a whole bunch of big Super Bowl trailers.
The next big Marvel series is going to be Secret Invasion.
Of course, they'll be doing episode videos for that,
just like all the other big Marvel Disney Plus series.
Make sure you enable alerts for my channel so you don't miss that.
