Agatha Harkness is a character that has some significant comics moments. But, she can also be regarded as a bit of a blank slate for newcomers. One of the big moments that everyone can point toward is her taking care of Franklin Richards. She actually debuts in Fantastic Four #94 back in 1969! As a governess, she protected him from intruders and helped identify his powers as emerging. ( This is all old-school comics shenanigans and kind of delightful. Some light hints at her having powers in the alternate reality of the new movie would be hysterical.) So, there's some light text to draw from there.
"Each one of those was building on what had happened before as well, so that's really what we're doing. We're taking everything that's existed about Wanda in the past and osmosing it and thinking about it, but making something new, original, now ," the director added. "Something created in this moment, responding to this moment and that's what's exciting about it."
Retro Vibes From Fantastic Four: First Steps Would Only Help
But, having her pop-up in next year's summer extravaganza would allow the star to shine in a similar way to WandaVision . Namely, with the comedy of a family dynamic. Hahn has some absolutely killer line reads as Agatha Harkness in the Disney+ show. Her bouncing off of Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bacharach and Joseph Quinn would be a delight.
"I've learned so much from working on It's Always Sunny over the years," Shakman explained to ComicBook. "Those guys bring a unique combination of playfulness and precision, and I think you have to have both of those things in everything you make. You have to still be a kid in the sandbox playing and inventing, but you also have to be rigorous about what you're doing and comedy is even more rigorous than anything else. The precision of making something funny is often way harder than making something really complicated with special effects work. So, playfulness and precision."
