Marvel Teases Agatha Show Title With A C.S. Lewis Twist

Marvel and Disney are gearing up for the Agatha series release later in 2024, and Marvel accidentally – or purposely – just teased a new title for the Marvel show. The official Marvel Studios page posted a tweet with an image that read Agatha: The Lying Witch with Great Wardrobe, a nod to C.S. Lewis’ classic book in his Narnia series, The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe.

And then Marvel deleted it less than five minutes later. Late April Fool’s joke, hasty removal to fix the typo at the end – who can say. The show’s official title is just Agatha, though Marvel and Disney only landed on that as a fourth choice. The Agatha series’ previous names include Coven of Chaos, House of Harkness, which is a nice bit of alliteration, and Darkhold Diaries, which is not.

Marvel hasn’t posted anything acknowledging the mistake, so maybe it was just someone’s idea of a joke mock-up that got posted on accident. Which is a shame, really. I’d watch a show called Lying Witch with [a] Great Wardrobe in a heartbeat.

If you’re new to the Wandaverse, Marvel’s Agatha show is a spinoff miniseries following Agatha Harkness, a villainess who played an important role in Marvel’s popular WandaVision series in 2021. Disney commissioned a nine-episode series about the witch, whose wardrobe may or may not be great, and if copyright filings are anything to go by it’s set to debut in September 2024 or shortly after.
