Marvel has just released a mid-season trailer for Agatha All Along, and it is prepping fans for a huge payoff in the final episodes, one that will focus the most on Billy Maximoff. That jaw-dropping moment where it is revealed that Joe Locke's former Teen character is Billy Maximoff, son of Wanda Maximoff, had fans eagerly awaiting the next hook.
It gives more insight into Billy's power and the emerging role of Wiccan, and it sets up so much for the high-stakes remainder of the Disney+ series. With the trailer released soon after Episode 5, there is a hint that there will be more magical mayhem as Billy develops his powers.
Things begin to blow up between the witches after Agatha Harkness is thrown into the mud in a dramatic show of the new strength, which Billy starts to build. Billy now wears a crown similar to his mother's Scarlet Witch and appears to be the entry point to the darker mysteries of the Witches' Road.
Billy Maximoff's role as Wiccan becomes central to Agatha All Along
One of the greatest inferences drawn from Agatha All Along's midseason trailer is confirmation on Billy Maximoff, is now Wiccan. That becomes a pivotal point for the Marvel Cinematic Universe and has led to so many possibilities in the future for both Agatha All Along and the larger narrative of the MCU.
The trailer also shows Billy experiencing flashbacks from the time of Wanda's Hex, almost like a nod to his origin story from WandaVision, immediately tying him to the magical legacy of his mother. That transformation of Billy into Wiccan has implications for the future of the MCU; with the soon-to-rise Young Avengers.
As Joe Locke said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, now it's clear, that he is now:
"The most powerful person on the Road."
This development raises all-important questions in the dynamic between Billy and the remaining witches in Agatha's coven, especially as he is no longer just a "pet", but a force to be reckoned with. And a midseason trailer promises a darker turn in the series; that could mean conflict, not only with Agatha, but with other key figures coming Billy's way.
But, there's also another mystery witch: Aubrey Plaza's Rio Vidal, who likely features prominently in the remaining episodes, especially now that fan theories have begun arguing that she might be the MCU's Lady Death. With these added, the final four episodes hold high-octane magic battles and emotional stakes.
Scarlet Witch’s potential return to Agatha All Along and its future implications
Fans have been speculating ever since Agatha All Along about whether Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlet Witch, could return. A new trailer implies the possibility that Billy experiences the Hex from an outside vantage point, which would further entrench his story into a family history.
Screen Rant points out that Wanda could be a huge plot point for the rest of the episodes of Agatha All Along, for she has returned.
Also, it has a trailer that previews what lies at the end of the infamous Witches' Road, one of the huge mysteries that has kept the audience on the edge since the beginning of this series. The Witches' Road has a great mystery to tell because of Billy's real purpose, with questions hanging around his intentions as Wiccan.
As Marvel expands upon the Multiverse Saga, magic and the supernatural will increase their role with Agatha All Along playing a crucial part in this progression. In an article on ComicBook.com, the series comes at just the right moment to prove relevance within the MCU, and Billy's journey could be key for this purpose.
In the last four episodes of Agatha All Along, stakes are going higher than ever for Billy, Agatha, and the coven witches. With Scarlet Witch returning and asking about Billy's possible plans, this series promises a sparkling conclusion.
