WandaVision Episode 9 Breakdown - What's Next For MCU Phase 4?

5. What's Next For Agatha?

This episode finally dispelled all those rumours and theories of a rogue Mephisto experience, showing us that really it was just Agatha All Along (ha ha). She’s a jealous, spiteful and well-studied witch but we know now that Wanda has literally got more power than the sorcerer supreme, so why she thought she stood a chance we’ll never know.

What’s next for Agatha is an interesting question: it seems that she is doomed to stay in Westview living as a regular citizen and annoying neighbour. It’s interesting to see her role in relation to Wanda be so different from that of the comics. Where there she is a mentor and a source of knowledge, here she is somewhat of a ward of Wanda’s. It may be that Wanda comes to her from time to time for her expertise but she won’t be doing any magic of her own any time soon.

It’s also worth noting that the book in her basement was confirmed as being the Darkhold, something we were hesitant to believe before given the Darkhold’s previous appearance in Agents of SHIELD. However, continuity from that era definitely isn’t Marvel’s priority so we shouldn’t be too surprised.
