‘Agatha All Along’ Showrunner Finally Unveils the Identity of MCU’s “Blackheart”

by

As a dedicated Marvel fan who has been following the mystifying world of WandaVision since its inception, I must confess that the revelation about the black heart in Agatha All Along left me utterly bewildered and intrigued!

In the series Agatha All Along, many puzzles have been presented, with just a handful being answered so far. Although we’ve uncovered the mysterious girl, this disclosure has sparked even more questions that may not be solved until the last episode.

One intriguing mystery introduced in the second episode has sparked fan debates ever since: the enigmatic black heart on Agatha’s list of potential recruits for her coven.

As you may remember, Lilia Calderu provided Agatha with a list of her coven members, but one name was mysteriously replaced by a black heart. Agatha initially thought the black heart represented Mrs. Hart, the Green Witch, but Lilia couldn’t make it green because she only had a black pen.

Some spectators suggested that the black heart symbol could potentially represent Rio Vidal, an ex-lover of Agatha’s, as well as Mephisto’s transformed offspring known as Blackheart – a renowned demon character from Marvel comic books.

Following Episode 6’s airing, it appears that our assumptions were incorrect. Jac Schaeffer recently shared insights on the series with The Wrap, clarifying this particular point.

In a flashback scene from Episode 6, Eddie, Billy’s boyfriend, refers to him as his “black heart,” and Schaeffer confirmed that the black heart on the list indeed references the Teen—Billy Kaplan, a.k.a. Billy Maximoff.

As we discuss Rio, a text arrives from Billy’s boyfriend that reads, “You are my heart,” accompanied by an image of a black heart. The question arises: Is this another instance of interpretation or can the answer be clear here? Since Rio herself says, “My heart is black and it beats for you,” one might assume that she is referring to herself as the black heart. However, without further context, it’s challenging to definitively say who the black heart is in this scenario.

Yeah, Billy’s the black heart.

The showrunner was subsequently queried about how this character aligns with the coven’s membership count. If the Teen had been planned as a member all along, it would imply an additional unanticipated member in the coven, initially symbolized by Mrs. Hart and now by Rio Vidal.

However, it appears there’s a discrepancy in the numbers. Based on Lilia’s roster, the coven should consist of Agatha, Lilia, Jen, Alice, and finally Billy. Could it be that someone else is traveling with Rio unaccounted for?

“I hope you’ll join us for upcoming episodes.” And when I mention this, let me clarify what I mean by saying it now, Andi. When I say “join us for upcoming episodes,” it shifts my perspective and the way I engage with content, as it becomes less about immediate answers to questions, and more about additional details and depth that will be revealed over time, enriching our understanding of characters and themes, if you follow me.

However, your observation on the incongruity of math in witchcraft is quite accurate. After all, witchcraft revolves around intention rather than mathematical principles. Its elusive nature has been intriguing, and I’m genuinely impressed by how diligently fans are adhering to the rules and trials. To echo your sentiments, well done and thank you! Furthermore, I must say that witchcraft can be vague and imprecise.

Could we still be correct in inferring that Blackheart exists within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)? Does the character of Teen connect to Mephisto, as they do in the comics? In the comic books, this is true, but what about in the MCU? In an interview, Schaeffer hinted that there would be further revelations about Billy’s past in relation to Mephisto as the series unfolds.

Essentially, I’d express it as follows: We’ve reached a significant point in the story now, with all our characters in play, and there’s still plenty to uncover and explore.
