Marvel fans know that Joe Locke's character in the latest spin-off is more than a teenager. As seen in the first two episodes of Agatha All Along, Teen is finding it hard to reveal his identity and is mostly seen around the titular witch.
Following the speculation around Teen, there are several theories suggesting who's this mysterious, yet engaging character. The most popular theory suggests that Teen might be Billy Maximoff, Wanda's son from WandaVision. Whenever this character tries to open up about his identity, something unusual happens to him.
This might be due to the spell on Teen, stopping him from revealing that his mother is none other than Agatha's enemy Wanda Maximoff. However, another theory suggests that Teen is actually Nicholas Scrath, the powerful sorcerer we known from the Marvel comics.
Who is the goth Teen in Kathryn Hahn's Agatha All Along?
One of the biggest questions about Agatha All Along is the identity of Locke's spooky Teen. Even a powerful witch like Agatha Harkness is unable to break the spell to discover if he's someone she can trust. His identity is like a big secret for Marvel fans curious about the character and Agatha's journey.
In WandaVision, Elizabeth Olsen's spell transformed the neighborhood into a sitcom, and the same has happened to Agatha as she's currently a cop, trying to regain her dark powers. Several easter eggs in Agatha All Along suggested that the spin-off is connecting the dots with the MCU.
So, Teen might emerge as an important character in the superhero world, especially when Marvel is active in introducing young Avengers like Kamala Khan and Kate Bishop. But before that, fans need to know the real name of Teen to speculate his significance.
In the first episode, Teen was about to disclose his identity, but a magical power or spell blocked his lips. Since Agatha herself is trapped in a sitcom and needs people to help her gain power, she cannot uncover the truth.
This hints at Teen's connection with Olsen's Wanda Maximoff and later he might reveal being Billy Maximoff. In the comics, Billy is connected to both Agatha and Wanda, as her mother learned magic from the witch. Agatha was also involved in the creation of Billy and his twin through the chaos magic.
What did Joe Locke say about his role as Teen in Agatha All Along?
Joe Locke didn't reveal the actual name or secrets about Teen in Agatha All Along, but the actor hinted at his character's growing powers and strong connection with Agatha Harkness.
Locke explained that Teen was initially intrigued with the witch's influence and knowledge about magic, but gradually fans will notice shift in their dynamics.
While speaking to Blavity, the Heartstopper star mentioned:
"We started out with, with Teen wanting Agatha to take him on the road. And Agatha really being the one with all the power in the relationship."
He continued:
"Their relationship evolves and changes and it really goes [into] so many different forms. Definitely, there are some shifts in that relationship as the series goes on."
So does that mean Teen is Agatha's son Nicholas Scratch? As described in the comics, he's not so close to his mother but possess great magical abilities. His introduction to the spin-off series might feature Agatha Harkness's complex relations with her family including her son.
However, nothing has been confirmed about Teen's identity yet, and fans can continue speculating until Agatha All Along reveals his true intentions. The series follows the events after WandaVision and has welcomed another exciting character Rio Vidal played by Aubrey Plaza.
