In the most recent trailer of “Agatha All Along,” a mysterious person was shown in a curious shot. With the season halfway through, things are looking grim for Agatha Harkness and her coven. They seem to have a sinking feeling about what’s to come. A new trailer might provide answers for the upcoming episodes, but it also raises more questions.
Who Was That Trench-Coated Man?
Marvel released a mid-season trailer for Agatha All Along on Monday, October 14. The trailer is packed with intriguing and spoiler-filled details. One of the most significant mysteries teased in the trailer is a single shot at the 51-second mark of a mysterious person. The person is seen from the back, wearing what appears to be a trench coat and a hat.
Now, the identity of this individual is completely unknown, but that hasn’t stopped fans from speculating and coming up with theories about who it could be. Some are wondering if it could be Mephisto, who is essentially Marvel’s version of Satan. He has a sinister appearance with crimson red skin. Mephisto was mentioned in the third episode of “Agatha All Along,” when Jen Kale revealed that Agatha once gave her own son to Mephisto.
If you recognize the name, it’s probably because during the release of WandaVision in 2021, fans kept connecting many of the show’s major events to Mephisto. However, Mephisto ultimately didn’t appear in WandaVision, which left many fans disappointed.
Could the MCU be planning to finally satisfy all those Mephisto enthusiasts from three-and-a-half years ago? Well, there are rumors that Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen is set to play the character in certain Marvel projects. However, it’s not confirmed whether Agatha All Along is one of them.
There is another theory suggesting that the person in the trench coat is Vision, specifically the rebuilt White Vision from the later episodes of WandaVision. He was last seen flying off to an unknown location, possibly on a journey to discover himself (or a Vision Quest). Considering the original Vision’s connection to Billy Maximoff, and the fact that Billy has been confirmed to be the true identity of Teen (Joe Locke) through Agatha’s marketing, it is possible that Vision has been drawn back to Westview due to his son’s emerging supernatural powers.
Other guesses, which can be quickly ruled out, include Michael Chiklis’ Ben Grimm from the 2005 Fantastic Four movie, who once wore a trench coat and fedora (surely, a Reed Richards-level stretch), and the shadowy “Stranger” character from the closing scenes of 2014’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Not even the Multiverse Saga could make those suggestions fly.
Whoever this mysterious player may be, they already feel akin to WandaVision’s infamous Beekeeper from its second episode. Hopefully, a more narratively satisfying answer is provided for the face behind Mr. (or Mrs.) Trench Coat.
Marvel Television’s Agatha All Along releases new episodes on Wednesdays, with the next one coming on Wednesday, October 16.
