Jac Schaeffer’s Agatha All Along is currently the latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s storyline featuring none other than Kathryn Hahn as the lead role. Since the previous phase concluded, Marvel has been struggling to retain its fanbase with lackluster movies and television shows. In hopes of bringing themselves back into relevance, the MCU has tapped into other storylines as well.

The entire plot of Agatha isn’t known yet, but it might have some connections to the Scarlett Witch storyline as the writers introduced a character that goes by “Teen,” played by Joe Locke.
Could Joe Locke’s Teen character from Agatha All Along be Billy Maximoff, Wanda’s son?
Having released only two episodes, there isn’t much left to work with besides that, Agatha is three years removed from her escape from the Hex, a reality-altering bubble created by Wanda Maximoff to cope with Vision’s death.
In Agatha All Along, Kathryn Hahn’s character gets approached by Joe Locke’s teen character. While she tries to gather up knowledge about his identity, Teen’s voice fades out or his mouth gets sewed up. Evidently, it is a spell that’s been cast on him, but he isn’t aware of it either.

There are a few indications that have led people to believe that Teen is Billy. Teen is a magic-wielding character who is also gay, which perfectly aligns with how Billy is portrayed in the comics.
However, it is unclear how Joe Locke’s character ended up in Agatha All Along or why he’s there. In WandaVision, Scarlett Witch had to say her goodbyes to her children, Billy and Tommy while the Hex collapsed. This set the precedent for the events that took place during Doctor Strange: The Multiverse of Madness.
Teen from Agatha All Along could be Billy Maximoff from an alternate timeline
In the Multiverse of Madness, Wanda (played by Elizabeth Olsen) sets off on a journey to find her children in other universes. By the end of the movie, Wanda sacrifices herself to destroy the Darkhold which she uses to gain power to visit other timelines.

Teen (or Billy) could get through the Witches’ Road with the help of Agatha and the coven, somehow bringing Wanda back to life at the end of the series.
Marvel has a unique way of introducing its characters often resorting to suspense-filled scenes or endings. It is likely that Joe Locke’s character is Wanda’s lost son.
But there are still way too many questions that need to be answered soon, hopefully within the next few episodes of the brand-new spinoff series.
As for Agatha Harkness herself, this season could set the precedent for upcoming spinoffs or storylines of the main Marvel universe. Considering how Wanda has played an important role in previous Marvel movies, the MCU might not easily let go of her.
Agatha All Along will have its next episode released on September 25, 2024 (Wednesday). The series will have a new episode released every Wednesday until October 30, 2024.
Agatha All Along can be streamed on Disney+.
