In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Locke expressed his eagerness for fans to witness Wiccan on screen. He disclosed that he was in the U.K., and the episode would be released at 2:00 a.m. There, he confessed, he wouldn’t be able to sleep, so he planned to take something to help him rest before waking up to a storm of phone notifications, which indeed happened. Moreover, Locke admitted that he was very anxious, as the secret he had carefully protected is now out in the open.

For Marvel enthusiasts, it was a highly anticipated event, as Billy, also known as Wiccan, made his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in WandaVision, and those well-versed in comics had eagerly been waiting to see how he’d fit into the MCU. He’s a crucial character in the comic books and eventually becomes one of the most powerful entities in the Marvel Comics universe, a noteworthy achievement. Moreover, his reappearance sets the stage for Wanda’s return, a demand from fans ever since her apparent demise in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

“The thing that I’ve kept so secret, guarding it with my life, is now just in the ether.”

Regarding the potential TV show based on Wiccan, there have been whispers that Marvel Studios is planning a series with Joe Locke as the main character. This information originated from trusted industry insider Daniel Richtman, and it was initially reported back in August 2023. The recent confirmation that Joe Locke will portray Wiccan in “Agatha All Along” lends credence to this claim. Richtman also hinted that this Wiccan series would be the third spinoff from WandaVision, following “Agatha All Along” and “Vision Quest,” which is currently being developed.

Fans of Marvel have been pondering whether Elizabeth Olsen’s character, the Scarlet Witch, survives at the end of “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.” Surprisingly, even Olsen herself appears to be uncertain about this matter. She has been questioned multiple times regarding her potential comeback, and she has openly admitted that she is unaware of Marvel’s future plans for her character.

It appears that there might be some upcoming news regarding Wanda Maximoff’s return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Rumors are swirling within the industry, with sources like Daniel Richtman hinting at the production of a Scarlet Witch film by Marvel Studios and Elizabeth Olsen resuming her famous role. Furthermore, the recent revelation in Agatha All Along that Joe Locke was portraying Wiccan throughout the series suggests a major comeback for Scarlet Witch is on the horizon at Marvel Studios.

How Could Wiccan Bring Scarlet Witch Back From the Dead?

Could Wiccan, also known as Billy, manage to resurrect his mother, and would he even desire such an outcome? Let’s tackle the simpler aspect first. Indeed, reviving his mother is something that resonates deeply with Wiccan’s character. However, figuring out the method for this feat is a bit more intricate. Whispers hint at the possibility that Wanda’s chaotic magic might have preserved her life in the Multiverse or beyond, following the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

In certain Marvel comic book narratives, Wanda finds herself bereft of powers following an event on Mount Wundagore, losing her memories along the way. This scenario might pave the way for the Scarlet Witch’s reintroduction into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The character of Wiccan is expected to play a significant part in this return, given his powerful magic that closely mirrors his mother’s abilities. He has demonstrated determination and resilience, qualities that have served him well. Additionally, he possesses a shrewdness that he exploited effectively in the series “Agatha All Along” and could utilize again to restore his mother.

An alternative scenario is that Wiccan might discover one of the numerous Wandas residing in different universes. As we learned from “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness“, there are numerous potent Wandas scattered across these realms, some of whom may not be as emotionally distraught as the MCU’s Wanda. It is possible that Wiccan could summon one of these counterparts into the MCU and reunite with his mother in this manner. However, from a narrative standpoint, many fans might prefer the original Wanda’s reappearance over resorting to a Multiverse solution for her return.

How Could a Wiccan TV Series Set Up the Young Avengers?

Let’s explore the possibility of a TV series based on Wiccan characters, which could pave the way for a Young Avengers movie that Marvel Studios is rumored to be working on. This is thrilling news, as the Young Avengers are a significant part of the comics and fans have eagerly anticipated their appearance in the MCU. In the MCU, the Young Avengers team might consist of Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan (usually the team leader in the comics), Kate Bishop portrayed by Hailee Steinfeld, Cassie Lang played by Kathryn Newton, Skaar acted by Wil Deusner, America Chavez played by Xochitl Gomez, and Riri Williams portrayed by Dominique Thorne.

A new character to join the mix is Joe Locke’s Billy, often called Wiccan. While Kamala Khan could dispute his position as the most powerful member, Wiccan’s comic book powers are essentially boundless and he has already shown what he can do in “Agatha All Along“. This upcoming series featuring Wiccan might be instrumental in gathering the Young Avengers, an exciting prospect for Marvel fans who have long anticipated this team-up.

All nine episodes of Agatha All Along are available to stream now on Disney Plus.
