Aubrey Plaza Responds to ‘Agatha All Along’ Being Dubbed the “Gayest Marvel Show Ever”: “It better be”

by

As a seasoned gamer who’s been through countless hours of Marvel-themed video games and comic book adventures, I must admit, I’m genuinely excited about Agatha All Along. The anticipation has been building for quite some time now, and the promise of queer representation within the MCU is nothing short of exhilarating.

As the countdown ticks down to the debut of “Agatha All Along“, the fresh installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, initial responses lean towards the affirmative, albeit with a few viewers noting that it starts off a bit slowly.

As I stepped out from my magical confinement at the hands of the Scarlet Witch, I discovered myself stripped of my powers. To retrace my steps on the enchanting path reserved for the witches and regain my magical prowess, I had to assemble an unlikely group – friends and foes alike – into a makeshift coven. Now, it’s time to navigate the arcane world once more!

Prior to its debut, the show Agatha All Along was expected to lead the way in representing the LGBTQ+ community within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Actor Joe Locke, who portrays Billy Kaplan, also known as Wiccan—a character who is openly gay in the comics and well-known for his relationship with Hulkling—has already discussed this aspect of his character.

Locke admitted encountering criticism for his representation, yet he expressed that he’s not unduly worried by it. Moreover, he underscored that the series wholeheartedly embodies its unique, queer identity, refusing to shy away from it.

The series doesn’t shy from portraying his non-traditional sexuality, but it’s not the sole aspect that defines his character. Instead, it’s simply one facet of the multidimensional individual he represents on screen.

Aubrey Plaza hinted at a potential romantic relationship between Agatha and her character, Green Witch Rio Vidal. This connection has been verified by Kathryn Hahn.

Clearly showcasing a playful style and incorporating music, as suggested by Patti LuPone, it’s clear that the show Agatha All Along is set to bring increased recognition and representation for the LGBTQ+ community within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

At the red carpet unveiling of the show, a reporter from Variety inquired if Plaza concurred with the statement that it’s the most “Marvel series with LGBTQ+ representation ever.” Unsurprisingly, Plaza’s response stayed true to her style.

“It better be, cause that’s what I signed up for.”

Aubrey Plaza responds to being called “#AgathaAllAlong” the most LGBTQ+ Marvel show: “It should be, as that’s what I agreed to do.

The series seems tailored to a specific group of viewers, and although it may not capture all tastes, it offers a welcome deviation from the predictable patterns commonly seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
