Agatha All Along Director Refutes Popular Teen Fan Theory

As a seasoned gamer and Marvel enthusiast, I’ve been around the block a few times when it comes to theories and speculations. From the multiverse of possibilities that is the MCU, I’ve learned to keep my expectations in check but still hold onto the tiniest breadcrumbs with bated breath.


As a passionate fan of Agatha All Along, I’ve been caught up in the whirlwind of theories surrounding Joe Locke’s character and his mysterious mouth sigil. However, it seems that the show’s director, Jac Schaeffer, has some intriguing insights to share on this topic. In an interview with Variety, she hinted that our focus might be misplaced. The enigmatic shape of Teen’s mouth sigil resembling a cursive M in the first two episodes has sparked much discussion, but Schaeffer suggests there are other, more significant clues to explore. Laughing at the question about Locke’s true identity on the show, she playfully advised, “This is what I would say: That’s not the first place I’d look.” She continued, “It’s not entirely irrelevant: But there are other places to look.” So, fellow fans, let’s keep our eyes open and delve deeper into the enchanting world of Agatha All Along!

It appears from these remarks that Kathryn Hahn’s character, the witch, plays a significant role in this adventure. One might wonder if we could see more of Wiccan or even Scarlet Witch, but it seems the main focus of “Agatha All Along” is on the witch regaining her power and learning to coexist with others. Any additional elements are merely extra details.

So, while the Teen and Billy Kaplan speculation continues to bubble on social media, Schaeffer is calling for some better sleuthing from the fanbase. A lot of the bait that Marvel Studios has laid out seems pretty conclusive. But, with these witches, there might be a curveball waiting for viewers that feel like Locke is playing Wanda Maximoff’s long-lost son. In fact, the curious focus on Nicholas Scratch in the first two episodes of the series might only heighten this mystery. Variety ended up asking the director about fans reading Locke’s lips and she could only smile and say that’s not the most interesting clue they’ve left so far. At some point, an astute viewer is going to stumble on that hidden breadcrumb and send the fanbase spiraling into Episode 3.

Looking back at the period when WandaVision was airing, there was an abundance of fan theories that fueled the excitement surrounding the show, not to mention the sitcom format and unexpected plot twists! Mephisto was definitely a hot topic on social media during this time. It seems that the enthusiasm from fans during this era has left a lasting impression on Schaeffer. When she recalls the hype around WandaVision, she acknowledges that it wasn’t her intention to confuse some viewers so much with their theories. She understands that every individual will have a unique experience with art, and it won’t always align perfectly with the creators’ intentions. With this in mind, they’ve aimed to create Agatha All Along with a strong emphasis on Agatha Harkness and the magical aspects of Marvel.

Schaeffer admits that it continues to give him pause, ‘It still makes my heart skip.’ He emphasizes his goal is to provide the best viewing experience possible, which makes him anxious when viewers move too quickly. He trusts that humans can make their own decisions about the kind of experience they prefer. However, he finds solace in understanding that the path may be roundabout, and he hopes that this path proves enjoyable for the viewers.

She expresses a touch of sadness when she observes people feeling let down by certain events, but it didn’t significantly influence her work on ‘Agatha.’ It’s something she can’t fully control. It’s a type of fan reaction that’s hard for her to grasp.

I was wondering if you have any thoughts about what’s happening with Teen. Why not take a look at the ongoing pop culture conversation happening over at @ComicBook?
