October 10, 2024 Agatha All Along Episode 5’s Wiccan Teen Twist Explained

Agatha All Along Episode 5’s Wiccan Teen Twist Explained

The topic “Agatha All Along Episode 5’s Wiccan Teen Twist Explained” has two versions, a written one, and a video format below.

In Episode 5 of “Agatha All Along,” the show revealed a major twist involving Joe Locke’s character, Teen, who is speculated to be Wiccan, also known as Billy Maximoff, Wanda Maximoff’s super-powered son. The show had previously hinted at this connection but also tried to mislead viewers.

Who Is Teen In Agatha All Along? Wiccan Identify Explained

Warning: The following text contains major spoilers for Episode 5 of Agatha All Along.

Agatha All Along Episode 5's Wiccan Teen Twist Explained

In the final moments of Marvel Studios’ Agatha All Along Episode 5, a clear indication of the true identity of Joe Locke’s Teen is provided. Wiccan, also known as Billy Maximoff, is revealed.

Episode 5 shows Agatha and the coven embarking on the third trial on the Witches’ Road, which focuses on Agatha herself. After most of the witches leave the house (excluding Alice Wu-Gulliver’s character), Teen confronts Agatha about her power-hungry nature.

As their gazes locked in silent defiance, Agatha leaned in close, murmuring softly, “You’re so much like your mother.” This simple remark sparked an eruption within Teen, igniting his latent powers for the very first time. With a mere thought, he seized control of Sasheer Zamata’s Jennifer Kale and Patti LuPone’s Lilia Calderu, compelling them to hurl Agatha into the inky black sludge lining The Road, where she began to sink.

Moments later, Teen sent Jennifer and Lilia tumbling into the viscous pit behind Agatha, his hands sparking with vivid blue energy. As the raw force coursed through him, a regal crown materialized atop his head—eerily reminiscent of Wanda Maximoff’s own crown that marked her ascension as the Scarlet Witch, though his glowed in blue hues rather than the scarlet she bore.

In Episode 5, it was revealed that Teen is Wiccan/Billy Maximoff, which was not a huge surprise as Marvel had already hinted at it in the trailer with subtitles in “Agatha All Along.” It’s also worth noting that Billy’s powers share the same blue hue as those of Locke’s younger counterpart, played by Julian Hilliard, in the later episodes of “WandaVision” in 2021.

Agatha All Along Episode 5's Wiccan Teen Twist Explained

Is Wiccan the Villain of Agatha All Along?

It seems likely that Billy Maximoff could become a villain in Agatha Harkness’s story, given the history between the Maximoff family and Agatha. However, since this reveal comes only halfway through the season, Billy might just be a temporary obstacle for Agatha. On the other hand, there are signs indicating that Aubrey Plaza’s Rio could be the MCU’s version of Death in disguise. This was hinted at in Episode 5 with multiple mentions of death, and Plaza’s character was not seen after the coven left the house.

It’s quite evident that Agatha and Rio have a previous relationship, most likely an intimate one. This is likely to be further explored in the upcoming four episodes. While the prospect of Agatha’s potential connection to the son of her greatest adversary is intriguing, the revelation of her possible ex-lover and Death reincarnated would undoubtedly raise the stakes even higher.

Viewers are currently anticipating Episode 6 to delve deeply into the Billy Maximoff storyline after months of diversions and secrets. Following that, numerous paths could be pursued.

The initial five episodes of Agatha All Along are now available for streaming on Disney+.

Marvel’s Agatha Movie Appearance Prospects Addressed by Kathryn Hahn

This article has two versions, the written version, and the video version below.

In a recent dialogue, Kathryn Hahn revealed her perspective on how Agatha Harkness could seamlessly weave into a future Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film.

Agatha Harkness, one of the distinctive figures brought into the MCU’s vast tapestry via a Disney+ series, is part of a growing ensemble making this transition. Slowly but inevitably, characters like Iman Vellani’s Ms. Marvel are stepping beyond the confines of television into the expansive world of Marvel films.

With Hahn’s portrayal of Agatha in WandaVision earning a fervent following and her character now receiving a dedicated series titled Agatha All Along, anticipation grows among fans who are eagerly awaiting her debut on the silver screen.

Kathryn Hahn on Agatha's Movie Potential

Marvel's Agatha Movie Appearance Prospects Addressed by Kathryn Hahn

During a live recording of the Happy Sad Confused podcast at New York City’s 92nd Street Y in September, Kathryn Hahn discussed the possibility of Agatha Harkness appearing in an MCU movie. Josh Horwitz asked Hahn about how she sees Agatha fitting into teams from the movie side of the MCU, mentioning Agatha’s role as a governess for Reed Richards and Sue Storm’s son Franklin in the comics. Hahn talked about the potential of bringing more experienced witches rooted to the Earth into an MCU movie, as opposed to the untrained Wanda Maximoff who has been the only witch in the MCU so far:

“I keep thinking about witches, and this is the first time an old-school, learned witch that learned from their mother’s covens their grandmother’s covens, like, these are the first witches that are, like, rooted to the earth. Y’know, the Scarlet Witch is is so untrained. She’s born with this incredible chaos and magic...”

She expressed that she believes “think[s] the witches are a really great … way in anywhere,” and that her introduction to the MCU as Agatha felt like she was “coming in through, like, a side door:“

“I think the witches are a really great… A really great, great way in anywhere. And I also- That’s why, when it was a witch that I was proposed to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I was like… It really felt wicked stepsister-y, like we were getting away with something, coming in through, like, a side door. We were like, ‘Don’t mind me!‘ Because it really did feel like, when is someone gonna pull the plug?”

Ultimately, she believes there would be a lot of potential fun in incorporating Agatha and her coven of witches from Agatha All Along into any group of MCU characters:

“But I do think that there, there is… would be a lot of potential fun in just dropping a witch into any grouping.”

How Could Agatha Be In A Marvel Movie?

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is expanding to better reflect the way characters are used in the comics. Even if a character doesn’t have their own solo project, they can still appear in another character’s story, thanks to the shared universe. In an interview, Hahn and Horwitz discussed how Agatha, who has appeared prominently in around 160 issues, has made her way around Earth 616. She spent time as Franklin Storm’s governess, trained Wanda Maximoff, was killed by her, and then eventually resurrected.

Agatha has made appearances in comics like Fantastic Four, Avengers, Avengers West Coast, Alpha Flight, and Wonder Man—sometimes as a central or supporting character, other times in brief cameos. In the MCU, she could easily take on a similar role. It’s not uncommon for a character leading their own series or film to pop up in another — take Matt Murdock, for example.

If a storyline calls for a witch, Agatha would be an exciting addition. One of the most fitting places for her return would be in the much-anticipated Scarlet Witch movie.

If “Agatha All Along” brings back Elizabeth Olsen’s character Wanda from the dead (as rumored), it would make sense for the Wanda/Agatha connection to continue in the movies.

“Agatha All Along” is currently airing on Disney+, with new episodes premiering every Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET.

October 8, 2024 Giancarlo Esposito Teases Moff Gideon’s Resurrection After Villain’s ‘Death’ In The Mandalorian Season 3 Finale

Giancarlo Esposito Teases Moff Gideon’s Resurrection After Villain’s ‘Death’ In The Mandalorian Season 3 Finale

The actor behind The Mandalorian’s formidable villain, Moff Gideon, hinted at the character’s potential return in a future Star Wars project. The last time fans saw Giancarlo Esposito’s Star Wars character, Moff Gideon, he was engaged in a fierce battle with Din Djarin. He nearly defeated Mando, but Bo-Katan Kryze intervened and saved him. However, Moff Gideon loses the upper hand in the fight. Thanks to Axe Woves’ crashing ship from above, the two (and Grogu) manage to escape. Moff Gideon appears to be thrown off the ledge and engulfed in the ensuing inferno, but no body is ever seen.

Giancarlo Esposito's Moff Gideon May Return

Giancarlo Esposito Teases Moff Gideon's Resurrection After Villain's 'Death' In The Mandalorian Season 3 Finale

During a panel at L.A. Comic Con 2024, actor Giancarlo Esposito, known for his role as Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian, hinted at his character’s return. When a fan asked if he would consider being part of a potential Season 4, he expressed his interest but mentioned that he is unsure if there will be another season of the show.

“Well, I would love to. I don’t know much about what’s going on. I know they’re making a film. I don’t know if they’re going to return to the show or not, but anything is open. And I certainly left the best opening ever for Moff Gideon to come back. I love it when you see a character go over the edge, but you don’t quite know what happens.”

After sharing a humorous anecdote about his interaction with producer Jon Favreau on set, the actor confidently stated that he can “almost guarantee” that “Moff Gideon is still hiding out somewhere.”

“I remember in our last season, when I came to set, I had a different haircut because I figured I was in prison for a while and had no moustache. And then before I started shooting Jon Favreau came down, he kind of looked at me, and he went, scratched his head. He went, no moustache? And I went, no moustache. And so it leaves it open with all of those clones that there’s a possibility that Moff Gideon is still hiding out somewhere, waiting to come back and take over. I can almost guarantee it.”

Giancarlo Esposito wasn’t the only Star Wars actor at L.A. Comic-Con this year. Ewan McGregor also appeared at the event, where he confirmed his desire to return for Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2.

How Could Giancarlo Esposito Return as Moff Gideon?

Giancarlo Esposito’s Moff Gideon could return to the Star Wars universe after The Mandalorian Season 3 in a few ways. For one, perhaps Moff Gideon did not die as everyone thought, since fans never saw a body. Furthermore, plenty of Star Wars characters have had it worse and somehow made it back to the land of the living. Just look at Darth Maul or Emperor Palpatine.

Another possibility, as mentioned by Esposito himself, is that fans may see a clone of Moff Gideon appear. This wouldn’t be too surprising, considering that Moff Gideon’s last significant plot point in the series involved the reveal of his personal cloning advancements in The Mandalorian Season 3. The bigger question regarding Moff Gideon’s potential return is where exactly it would take place.

Currently, The Mandalorian Season 4 seems very unlikely. With the greenlighting of The Mandalorian and Grogu (which also features the return of Star Wars Rebels character Zeb), all indications suggest that Lucasfilm is officially done with the original Disney+ series.

The most likely place for Moff Gideon to appear again would be in the 2026 theatrical release. Another possibility is Dave Filoni’s big Mandoverse crossover film, which currently does not have a release date. “Mandalorian and Grogu” is expected to be released on May 22, 2026, in theaters worldwide.

DC Studios’ Wonder Woman Prequel Without Gal Gadot Is Moving Forward

An exciting update for Wonder Woman fans has been released online ahead of the launch of the new DCU. Confirmed in January along with the rest of the first chapter of projects, “Paradise Lost” will be a prequel series focused on Themyscira, Wonder Woman’s birthplace, before the hero herself was born. This is the closest thing to a Wonder Woman project confirmed for the DCU so far, and it implies a continuation of the iconic hero’s journey later down the line. Despite appearing in the role throughout the SnyderVerse DC movies, Gal Gadot will not play Diana in “Paradise Lost.”

Wonder Woman Prequel Makes Headway at DC Studios

DC Studios' Wonder Woman Prequel Without Gal Gadot Is Moving Forward

In a recent response on Threads, James Gunn confirmed that there is progress on “Paradise Lost” or Wonder Woman within the new DCU. There has not been any word on a live-action movie or show starring Wonder Woman herself since 2020’s “Wonder Woman 1984” starring Gal Gadot. Paradise Lost was confirmed as part of the first wave of movies and shows, so it’s more likely the project Gunn is referring to, assuming he is not responding about both. Even if this isn’t a hint about who will replace Gadot down the line, it’s an indication that more Wonder Woman lore is on the way.

In a separate response on Threads, Gunn confirmed that there has been a DC Studios project where it’s been difficult to find a writer whose pitch fully clicks. It’s uncertain which project this refers to and whether these difficulties have been resolved or are still being worked out.

However, there’s also exciting news on the DCU front. Comic writer and Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld shared on X (formerly Twitter) that he is hearing really great things about James Gunn’s Superman, which is now in post-production:

“I am hearing really great, GREAT things about James Gunn’s SUPERMAN. I could not be more psyched. Superman is my favorite super hero of all space and time.”

The first project in the DCU, Creature Commandos, will be featured in a panel and given a first look in two weeks at New York Comic Con. This will be the initial official sneak peek of what is to come with the upcoming DC movies and shows. Paradise Lost does not have a set release date, but the DCU will commence with Creature Commandos on December 5th.

October 3, 2024 Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4 Will Release Later Than Originally Planned (Rumor Report)

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4 Will Release Later Than Originally Planned (Rumor Report)

The release of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4 may take longer than expected. Following the huge success of 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, which earned nearly $2 billion at the box office, fans are eagerly awaiting the next installment. While Tom Holland is excited about the upcoming Spidey movie, it has been almost three years since the release of No Way Home, and the exact release date for the sequel remains unknown.

Later Expected Release for Tom Holland's Spider-Man 4

Alex Perez of The Cosmic Circus recently divulged an update regarding the release timeline for Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man 4 via a post on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Perez revealed that Sony has an untitled film slated for a theatrical debut on July 27, 2025, which is a mere nine months away. Originally, this was the intended release date for Spider-Man 4, but Perez clarified that the film has now been postponed, shifting its release to July 2026.

“This date was originally the set date for ‘Spider-Man 4.’ As of this moment, the film has been moved to July 2026.”

Back in August, insider Daniel Richtman suggested that Spider-Man 4 could be arriving in July 2026, aligning with Perez’s more recent claims and lending further credibility to the rumored delay.

What Will Happen With Spider-Man 4?

In September 2024, it was reported that the director of “Shang-Chi,” Destin Daniel Cretton, is in line to direct “Spider-Man 4.” However, progress on the sequel has been slow. The story for “Spider-Man 4” started development back in late 2021 during the press tour for “No Way Home,” but almost three years later, the film has yet to move out of pre-production. Filming is now set to start in May 2025, with Tom Holland and Zendaya expected to return for major roles. The big question is how Zendaya’s MJ will be used in the story after forgetting about Peter Parker’s existence by the end of “No Way Home.”

The latest rumors about Spider-Man 4 suggest that it could be a multiversal event similar to No Way Home, following the success of that film. If filming begins next May, the movie is expected to be released between Avengers: Doomsday (May 1, 2026) and Avengers: Secret Wars (May 7, 2027). Although details about the storyline have not been revealed, Marvel may choose to place it at a different point in the timeline. Fans are eagerly anticipating Spider-Man’s next solo adventure, which is rumored to hit theaters in 2026.

All 7 Marvel Actors Confirmed to Appear In James Gunn’s Superman Movie

After taking on his role running the DCU with Peter Safran, it became clear that James Gunn would likely not be the only person to work with both Marvel and DC movie franchises.

This is already coming true, as is particularly evident when looking at the cast for DC’s upcoming Superman movie. In fact, there are seven actors with roles in Superman who have previously appeared in Marvel movies.
Many of them worked with Gunn in various Guardians of the Galaxy projects, but that is not the case for all seven.

Superman will be the first movie of James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DCU franchise, and it is set to feature at least seven actors who have also had roles in Marvel movies.

Isabela Merced - Hawkgirl

Isabela Merced portrayed Anya Corazon in the 2024 film Madame Web. Anya was one of the three girls that Cassie tries to save in the movie, and she briefly appears in a superhero suit. The film received poor reviews and was not successful at the box office, but Merced isn’t done with superhero roles yet.

Merced is set to play Hawkgirl in Superman, specifically taking on the role of Kendra Saunders. While Kendra is not the original Hawkgirl, she has gained attention recently due to her appearance in the Arrowverse (portrayed by Ciara Renée) and in her own Dawn of DC solo comic by Jadzia Axelrod and Amancay Nahuelpan.

Nathan Fillion - Guy Gardner

Nathan Fillion played minor roles in both Guardians of the Galaxy and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. In the first movie, he played a Blue Alien Prisoner who tried to hurt Peter Quill before Groot stepped in and turned the tables on him. In the third Guardians movie, Fillion appeared as Master Karja, a leader on the Orgoscope.
Fillion will play the Green Lantern Guy Gardner in the upcoming Superman movie. With his quips, brash and obnoxious attitude, and ability to be taken down by Batman with just one iconic punch, Guy is one of those characters people tend to absolutely love or absolutely hate.

Edi Gathegi - Mr. Terrific

Edi Gathegi portrayed Darwin in X-Men: First Class, and his character is often cited as one of the most perplexing decisions made in the Fox Marvel movies.
In the comics, Darwin’s primary power is the inability to die. Regardless of what happens to him, he adapts as necessary to survive. However, this character, who cannot be killed, was killed off in X-Men: First Class.

Gathegi’s next superhero role is as Mr. Terrific, specifically as Michael Holt, the second person to assume the mantle. He does not possess powers, but he utilizes T-spheres, which grant him a wide range of abilities, including flight and invincibility from technology, among many others. An adaptation of the character named Curtis Holt appeared in the Arrowverse, played by Echo Kellum.

Nicholas Hoult - Lex Luthor

Nicholas Hoult portrayed Beast in several Fox X-Men movies, taking on the role of Hank McCoy in X-Men: First Class, X-Men: Days of Future Past, X-Men: Apocalypse, and Dark Phoenix. Although Hank possesses mutant powers, his blue, animalistic appearance was the result of a serum he later injected into himself.
Hoult is set to play the main antagonist, Lex Luthor, in the upcoming movie Superman. Lex Luthor is known as Superman’s arch-enemy and is a wealthy, malevolent genius who utilizes technology and fear-mongering in an attempt to destroy the hero. He despises Superman for being an alien and consistently tries to present himself as a protector of humanity, despite embodying some of humanity’s worst traits.

Mikaela Hoover - Cat Grant

Mikaela Hoover played two roles in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. She appeared as Nova Prime’s Assistant in the first Guardians movie but had a far more prominent role as Floor in the third movie. Hoover did both the motion capture and voice work for the bunny who named herself Floor because she was on the floor.

Hoover is set to play Cat Grant in Superman. Many fans may be familiar with the version of Cat from the Arrowverse (played by Calista Flockhart) who runs her own magazine, but in DC comics, she is usually a reporter for the Daily Planet.

With the Daily Planet seemingly playing a large role in Gunn’s Superman movie, it is more than likely this is the version of the character Hoover will play.

Sean Gunn - Maxwell Lord

Sean Gunn has appeared in several of James Gunn’s movies, including as Kraglin in all three Guardians of the Galaxy movies. Sean Gunn has also done motion capture work for various characters in the Guardians franchise, including Young Rocket in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Sean Gunn is set to voice a character in the animated Creature Commandos show, which is the debut project of James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU. In the show Superman, he will play Maxwell Lord, an evil business mogul who eventually acquires mind control powers. Sean Gunn told The Wrap that even though Maxwell Lord has appeared in live-action before, this version will not take inspiration from those live-action adaptations. Instead, he is using “written materials” as one point of reference for his take.

Frank Grillo - Rick Flag Sr.

Frank Grillo portrayed Crossbones in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and is the only actor on this list who has been in the MCU but not in a film directed by James Gunn. He played Crossbones in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, and Avengers: Endgame.

Similar to Sean Gunn, Grillo will be lending his voice to a character in Creature Commandos before appearing in Superman.

However, unlike Sean Gunn, Grillo will be portraying the same character (Rick Flag Sr.) in both animation and live-action. In the comics, Rick Flag Sr. has been a leader of the Suicide Squadron and is also the father of Rick Flag Jr.

Honorable Mentions

Skyler Gisondo is the eighth actor in Gunn’s Superman movie to have also appeared in a Marvel movie, as he played Gwen Stacy’s brother Howard in The Amazing Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man 2. However, his role in those movies is extremely minimal. Despite this, Gisondo will be playing Daily Planet photographer Jimmy Olsen in Superman. As Clark Kent’s best friend, Jimmy is one of the most prominent supporting characters in Superman comics. Most recently, Alan Tudyk, who has already been cast as the voice of the radiation-manipulating baddie Doctor Phosphorus in Creature Commandos, was reported to be part of the cast of Superman. Tudyk voiced Alistair Krei in the Marvel-adapted Big Hero 6 Disney animated film before cameoing in Deadpool 2 as a redneck who gets tasered by Josh Brolin’s Cable.

Several actors who worked on the Guardians of the Galaxy movies with Gunn have expressed interest in joining the DCU. Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, and Pom Klementieff are open to (if not already planning on) joining. Although they haven’t provided details about their potential roles, they have all indicated interest in some capacity.

Superman will be released in theaters on July 11, 2025.

September 27, 2024 Thunderbolts* May Answer An 8-Year-Old MCU Mystery

Thunderbolts* May Answer An 8-Year-Old MCU Mystery

Thunderbolts* is set to hit theaters on May 2, 2025. It will introduce a new superhero team in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The movie will bring together various characters from the franchise, such as Yelena Belova (played by Florence Pugh), the Winter Soldier (played by Sebastian Stan), Red Guardian (played by David Harbour), Ghost (played by Hannah John-Kamen), Taskmaster (played by Olga Kurylenko), and the U.S. Agent (played by John Walker). This film will also serve as the conclusion to Phase 5, setting up the last part of the Multiverse Saga.
The first trailer for Thunderbolts* provides fresh insight into the film’s plot, showing how each of the mentioned characters is recruited by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus) for a suicide mission. After surviving the mission, the newly formed Thunderbolts confront Val in a familiar-looking location. Although the specific location is not mentioned in the trailer, it could potentially solve a long-standing mystery in the MCU. Eight years after the plot point was first introduced, Thunderbolts* may finally reveal who bought Avengers Tower.

Thunderbolts* May Reveal the New Owner of Avengers Tower

Thunderbolts* May Answer An 8-Year-Old MCU Mystery

There are various theories about who purchased Avengers Tower in the MCU. Rumored buyers range from the Fantastic Four to Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin. This mystery has intrigued fans since Spider-Man: Homecoming revealed that Tony Stark sold the building in 2017. However, it’s possible that Val is the new owner of the former Avengers Tower. The first trailer for Thunderbolts* shows the team confronting Val in a New York City skyscraper, the interior of which bears a striking resemblance to the refurbished Avengers Tower, now under Val’s control.

None of the members of the Thunderbolts team had ever been to Avengers Tower before. Even Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes, who was active during the time the Avengers operated out of their New York City skyscraper, wouldn’t have been welcome there, as he was still working for Hydra at the time. While the team members would certainly recognize the building as the former Avengers Tower, none of them would have any memories there, unlike the original Avengers who used it as their headquarters for about four years.

What Val Owning Avengers Tower Means for the MCU

It is possible that Val could be the main villain of Thunderbolts. However, many theories suggest that she could be working with someone else who could be a much bigger antagonist in the MCU. If Val now works out of the former Avengers Tower, then whoever she is working with has access to the building as well. Val’s partner could be revealed to be Harrison Ford’s President Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross. However, with his role in Captain America: Brave New World taking place several months before Thunderbolts, it would make more sense if her employer was someone else entirely.

The MCU may be setting the stage for the debut of Norman Osborn, also known as the Green Goblin, who could be Val’s mystery employer. In the comics, Norman takes control of Avengers Tower as the new director of S.H.I.E.L.D., renaming it H.A.M.M.E.R., as part of the Dark Reign storyline. In this storyline, Norman disbands the Avengers and relocates the Thunderbolts, a team under his full control, to the tower. There, the Thunderbolts transform into what is later known as the Dark Avengers. It’s possible that the MCU’s Thunderbolts will be based in Avengers Tower in the future, and they might even evolve into the Dark Avengers in upcoming movies. If Norman Osborn and his associates now own Avengers Tower, it could be a sign that the MCU plans to incorporate the Dark Reign storyline in future projects. If he is introduced in Thunderbolts, fans can expect to see more of Osborn in films such as Spider-Man 4 and Armor Wars.

Why It Took So Long to Reveal Avengers Tower's New Owner

It’s been an exciting wait for fans to finally get the answer to the Avengers Tower mystery. However, it’s taken the MCU way too long to wrap up this storyline. Avengers Tower was sold back in the Phase 3 film Spider-Man: Homecoming, with almost no new clues about its new owner in the past seven years. By the time Thunderbolts hits theaters, it will have been almost eight years since this mystery was introduced, making it one of the longest and most frustrating waits for MCU fans. However, it’s likely that the MCU never intended to wait this long to reveal the new owner of Avengers Tower.

With the numerous delays to upcoming MCU movies, it’s possible that the franchise intended to address the sale of Avengers Tower earlier in the Multiverse Saga. The release schedule for Marvel has been constantly changing in the last few years, making it difficult to pinpoint when a new project will be released. It’s also possible that the identity of Avengers Tower’s new owner has changed. Some theories suggested that Mr. Gryphon, a variant of Kang the Conqueror, would be revealed as the building’s new owner. However, this may have changed when the MCU decided to move away from the Kang storyline. Other theories proposed that the Fantastic Four might convert Avengers Tower into the Baxter Building.

However, the MCU may have moved away from this possibility during one of the many story changes that took place before production began on The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Val owning Avengers Tower may have been a very late addition to Thunderbolts, but it could have significant implications for the team’s future in the MCU.

Who Is Mephisto In Agatha All Along? MCU Reveal Explained

Mephisto was officially revealed in the MCU in “Agatha All Along” Episode 3 after years of speculation about his debut. In the world of Marvel Comics, Mephisto essentially serves as the devil and has long been rumored to join the on-screen franchise in some form. This speculation dates back to the days of “Wandavision” when Mephisto became a popular name for speculating about who might have been behind Wanda’s spell-binding plight.

Mephisto Finally Gets His MCU Reveal

Who Is Mephisto In Agatha All Along? MCU Reveal Explained

In Episode 3 of “Agatha All Along,” a Marvel Comics character, Mephisto, was revealed to exist in the MCU. The character was mentioned in a conversation between Sasheer Zamata’s Jennifer Kale and Joe Locke’s mysterious Teen. Zamata’s character, a centuries-old witch, warned the young boy about the selfish and ruthless actions of Agatha (Kathryn Hahn). Kale told the Teen to “watch your back with Agatha,” revealing to both Locke’s character and the audience that the series’ villainous witch “traded her own child for the Book of the Damned” (also known as The Darkhold).

“No one really knows what happened to him,” she continued. This is when she finally namedrops The Lord of Evil for the first time in the MCU, suggesting, “They say he might be… an agent of Mephisto.”
“No one really knows what happened to him. They say he might be dead. Others say he might be a demon or an agent of Mephisto. But hey, that is what happens when you have Agatha Harkness as your mom, right? I doubt she would recognize her own son if he showed up at her doorstep.”

The conversation ends there without any further explanation from Kale, but it opens up a whole Pandora’s box of demonic possibilities for both the series and the MCU at large.

After years of speculation about when Mephisto would officially join the MCU, fans may finally have their answer. Although the character has yet to take on any sort of corporeal form in the franchise, his name has been mentioned, meaning he is officially on the board.

The context in which his name came up is interesting. This conversation between Jennifer Kale and the yet-to-be-named Teen is a personal moment between the two and almost gives the impression that Kale may be insinuating that the Teen himself could be the long-lost son of Agatha’s.After years of speculation about when Mephisto would officially join the MCU, fans may finally have their answer.

I think it would be interesting if Joe Locke’s character in the series turned out to be either an agent of Mephisto or Mephisto himself. This idea is especially intriguing considering the build-up of Joe Locke’s character in “Agatha All Along,” which led fans to believe he could be Wanda Maximoff’s son Billy. It would be a surprising twist to have the character initially assumed to be Wanda’s son, only to reveal that he is actually Agatha’s.

There have even been theories suggesting that the “M” that occasionally binds Tesn’s mouth could be connected to Mephisto. This could be a coincidence, but it may also be a hint of a potential devilish turn for the character. Whether Tesn is related to Mephisto or not, it seems like Agatha is setting itself up for a proper introduction to the iconic Marvel villain. It was previously reported that Mephisto would have a significant part in the upcoming Ironheart series. So, Agatha’s potential involvement with the character could serve as some nice narrative table-setting for that future streaming story. Agatha All Along continues to debut new episodes on Disney+ every Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET.

Marvel Got Pitched Chris Evans-Starring Disney+ Show by MCU Actor

Marvel Studios has been pitched a Steve Rogers-led Disney+ series by one of their own actors multiple times. When people think of Chris Evans, they usually remember his portrayal of Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For nine consecutive years, Evans, with the help of some excellent screenwriting, brought great humanity, sensitivity, and unwavering determination to the character of Steve Rogers. Steve Rogers remains a favorite for MCU fans, and many would like to see the character again, despite his definitive departure in Avengers: Endgame.

Ross Marquand Wants a Captain America Series

Marvel Got Pitched Chris Evans-Starring Disney+ Show by MCU Actor

On Friday, September 20, at Edmonton Expo in Alberta, Canada, actor Ross Marquand participated in a panel discussion about his roles in the MCU. Marquand voiced Ultron in What If…? and appeared in live-action as the Stonekeeper (an even creepier incarnation of the villainous Red Skull) in Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame.

Amidst his time on stage, Marquand revealed that he had put forth a proposal for a Disney+ series to Marvel (via @AgentsFandom on X/Twitter). The envisioned series would delve into Steve Rogers’ intricate journey as he embarks on a mission to restore the six Infinity Stones, placing them back in their respective places across the many divergent timelines encountered in Avengers: Endgame.

Marquand has previously mentioned his pitch for a Captain America-focused story. He is likely eager to see it made because there would probably be a role for him in it. When Hugo Weaving, the original Red Skull actor, didn’t return for the last two Avengers movies, Ross Marquand took on the role. This suggests that if Marquand’s proposed series were to be produced, Marvel would likely cast him as the Stonekeeper once again.

Could Chris Evans Really Return as Cap?

Since Steve Rogers’ story ended in 2019, there have been requests for Chris Evans to return as the original Captain America. In fact, Deadpool & Wolverine toyed with this idea when Evans made a surprise cameo. Wade Wilson initially mistook him for Cap, only for the movie to reveal that he was actually playing the Human Torch.
It’s uncertain whether Evans will return to play Captain America again, as it depends on the story. Evans has stated that he cares a lot about the character and its legacy. To convince him to return, Marvel Studios would probably need to have a compelling storyline in place. Bringing back Steve also presents a challenge, as the MCU now has a new Captain America in Sam Wilson, who will be featured in “Captain America: Brave New World,” set to be released in 2025.

Bringing Chris Evans back too soon could risk grounding Sam’s flight before it even takes off, as Steve’s return would inevitably eclipse Wilson’s own journey.
No matter what unfolds, fans can take comfort in knowing that Steve Rogers’ Captain America had one of the most complete and well-crafted story arcs in the entire MCU so far.

And for those who still feel unsatisfied, there’s always the possibility that a different universe’s version of Rogers might appear further down the line. After all, Marvel is deep into its Multiverse Saga right now.

Thunderbolts’ Bob True Identity Revealed: Marvel’s Sentry Explained

In a recent teaser for Thunderbolts*, several fan-favorite characters from the MCU made appearances, leaving fans curious about the mysterious character named Bob. Bob was seen in a room with some of the film’s main characters, sparking speculation about his role in the story. Thunderbolts, which is set to be a sequel to Black Widow, has been highly anticipated by fans since it was announced at Disney’s D23 expo in 2022. The film will focus on a team of Marvel antiheroes, and there have been rumors about Sentry making his debut in the movie, with his apparent appearance in the teaser adding fuel to the speculation.

Who Is Bob in the Thunderbolts* Trailer?

Thunderbolts' Bob True Identity Revealed: Marvel's Sentry Explained

In the new Thunderbolts teaser, several significant in-universe revelations were unveiled, with one particularly standing out – the introduction of a new character. The teaser shows Yelena, John Walker, Ghost, and Taskmaster being sent to an undisclosed location. After demonstrating their skills in a scuffle, they realize that there is someone else in the room with them – a man in hospital scrubs who introduces himself as Bob. Although Bob’s role in the trailer is minor, he is portrayed by Lewis Pullman from Top Gun: Maverick.

In the trailer, Yelena hints that there may be more to Bob than meets the eye by commenting that “everyone [there] has done bad things.” Another scene in the trailer shows Bob standing outside surrounded by law enforcement or the military.

The state of his attire is crucial to observe—riddled with bullet holes, tattered in various manners—yet remarkably, he remains entirely unscathed. Far more telling is the moment that follows, when enforcement agents or military personnel seemingly unleash a hail of bullets upon Bob, and, to the observer’s astonishment, not a single shot leaves so much as a trace on him.

Though Bob’s presence in the trailer is fleeting, his significance is far-reaching. His role, while subtle in the few glimpses provided, hints at his forthcoming ascent as one of the most formidable figures within the MCU’s expansive universe.
The name “Bob” serves as an unassuming moniker for Robert Reynolds, a being capable of morphing into the unstoppable force known as Sentry—an entity bearing resemblance to the archetype of Superman. His strength, drawn from a serum that mirrors the effects of the super soldier formula, elevates him to an awe-inspiring status, foreshadowing the impact his character will undoubtedly have.

There have been rumors that Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ character Val will use a serum on Bob to create Sentry. In the comics, when Bob transforms into Sentry, he becomes a nearly unstoppable force, but he is not evil. However, he does have an alter ego called the Void, which embodies evil and is separate from his Sentry personality. It’s possible that Bob was sent to the same location as the other characters because of his actions as the Void, or because, if the rumors are true, Val created him to oppose the Thunderbolts.

How Sentry's Thunderbolts* Character Connects to the Comics

In the Thunderbolts trailer, Bob appears confused and disoriented, not knowing where he is or how he got there. He is also puzzled by the others’ claim that someone sent them. This could be attributed to Bob’s mental state when he transforms into Sentry or the Void, as depicted in the comics.

In the source material, the character initially didn’t realize that he was both a powerful hero and a devastating villain due to his split personality. At various points, he had his memories wiped to keep the Void at bay. Additionally, with the help of Doctor Strange and Reed Richards, he had the entire world forget who he was, similar to Peter Parker’s actions in Spider-Man: No Way Home. However, his memories eventually began returning, leading to Sentry and the Void being at war with each other. This cycle of the Void being defeated and coming back continued until Sentry was eventually thrown into the sun, resulting in the death of both him and the Void.

In the upcoming Thunderbolts movie, it’s possible that Bob’s confusion in the trailer hints at a storyline where his memories are wiped, similar to the comics. This could lead to his inability to control his alternate personalities, Sentry and the Void, being displayed in the film. If this turns out to be true, it would lend more credibility to past rumors about a Sentry solo project being in development. Thunderbolts is set to be released in theaters on May 2, 2025.
