Agathario Shippers Vindicated: Aubrey Plaza’s Rio Vidal Confirmed as Agatha’s Love Interest

As a dedicated Marvel fan who’s seen more episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D than I can count and has a soft spot for quirky characters, I must say that ‘Agatha All Along’ is turning out to be an unexpected gem! The way the show subtly incorporates queer representation in the MCU while keeping the storyline engaging is truly commendable.


Approximately a week has passed since ‘Agatha All Along’ made its debut, airing the first two episodes. Initially, viewers found it appealing, but critics were less favorable in their reviews. However, opinions have started to even out. Currently, the show boasts an 83% rating among critics and a 81% rating from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.

Additionally, it drew in quite a number of people, which is unexpected considering it focuses on a relatively obscure character and presents a narrative that may not resonate with typical Marvel viewers who prefer more mainstream stories.

In the series, there’s a significant focus on portraying diverse characters within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Some viewers who are less accustomed to such themes in modern superhero productions might find them less familiar, but in “Agatha All Along,” these elements flow seamlessly, appearing organic rather than contrived. This is unlike many recent narratives that prioritize diversity.

Prior to the television series’ premiere, Aubrey Plaza subtly suggested a profound bond between her character, Rio Vidal, and Agatha.

It’s hard for me to elaborate, but it’s clear that my character and Kathryn’s have a deep, complex, and intense past. Prepare yourself, things are about to get interesting.

Various ideas are circulating among fans regarding the history and potential issues between Agatha and Rio Vidal. These theories span a wide spectrum, including suggestions that Agatha sought greater power at Rio’s expense, or even that she gave up their child in an attempt to control the Darkhold.

Not long after Plaza made her statement, it was also verified by Kathryn Hahn that their connection goes deeper: a hint at further developments in their relationship.

it felt super-charged every time we were doing any scenes together, which was thrilling.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that my favorite character, played by the talented Aubrey Plaza, has been confirmed by The New York Times as having had a romantic past with Agatha Harkness. In a fascinating interview, her character was labeled as a “romantic adversary,” which adds an intriguing layer to their relationship!

Initially, we had the enchanting time-travel comedy titled “My Old Ass” on September 13. Subsequently, we encountered the Marvel series “Agatha All Along,” where she portrays the romantic adversary to Kathryn Hahn’s character in “WandaVision.

It’s safe to say that whatever transpired between Agatha and Rio Vidal in the past will undoubtedly be fascinating, considering the mysterious nature of Plaza’s character, whose real identity was unexpectedly disclosed through a leak of Marvel merchandise.

It’s speculated that Rio Vidal, who was absent from episode 3, could assume the role of the Green Witch following Sharon Hart’s demise. This potential transition would enable the coven to persist in their voyage along the Witches’ Road.
