Wait, why wasn’t Scarlet Witch on Agatha the whole time?

Notice! This article contains spoilers for episodes 8 and 9 of Agatha All Along.

Agatha all the time Episode 9 ended the show without Scarlet Witch’s return being part of the proceedings, leading many to wonder why that was. At the time of Agatha all the time At the end of episode 9, the show wrapped up pretty neatly, with just a few loose threads teasing future MCU stories. While it’s not yet known where these stories will appear in relation to upcoming MCU films or TV shows, Agatha all the time wasn’t afraid to create characters for more appearances in the vast universe that Marvel Studios created.

Although the show left some characters alive, the burning question that arose Agatha all the timeThe ending involves Scarlet Witch. Scarlet Witch’s death in the MCU has arrived Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessalthough many did not believe the film’s depiction of his death. Theories were drawn up that Wanda was still alive or that elements from other MCU projects would result in her rebirth. One of these theorized elements was the MCU’s Witch Road, presented in Agatha all the timebut the show ended without Wanda Maximoff returning.

Why Marvel Fans Expected Scarlet Witch to Appear in Agatha All Along

Agatha always has strong ties to Wanda’s MCU story

Before exploring why Wanda wasn’t a part Ágatha all the time, It’s first worth exploring why the show was theorized to contain its return in the first place. The most obvious reason for this is the strong connections Agatha all the time have to WandaVision. After all, the titular witch from the former was introduced in the latter, and the trailers contained several hints that Wanda’s legacy would be a big part of the show’s story. As Agatha all the time progressed, connections with Wanda were only strengthened after WandaVisionis ending.

Since the revelation that Joe Locke would play Billy Maximoff in Agatha all the time to the themes of death, life and resurrection, theories began to circulate that Wanda’s rebirth was predicted. With Wanda’s son seeking a definitive form of power at the end of The Witches’ Road, these themes have been established and connections to Scarlet Witch sprinkled throughout, audiences naturally got the idea that Wanda would be revived in Agatha all the timeleaving her out of future MCU stories once again.

Scarlet Witch didn’t appear in Agatha the whole time because the story was about Agatha and Billy

Wanda no longer had influence over Billy and Agatha

All that said, Agatha all the time did not feature the return of Scarlet Witch. The reason for this is simple: the show was about Agatha and Billy. Although many expected that the ties Wanda had with these two characters would lead to her revival, the show quickly made it clear that Agatha and Billy had different motivations in mind. Agatha was simply trying to regain the powers Wanda stole from her and had no desire to bring Scarlet Witch back after she died.

As far as Billy was concerned, he was only interested in finding his brother Tommy. Throughout the series, Billy makes his contempt for Wanda clear, insisting that his goal at the end of The Witches’ Road is to find out where Tommy was. Possibly, Billy helps his brother’s lost soul find a body in which he can be reincarnated, teasing the duo towards a future in the MCU that is similarly free of Wanda’s control. At the time of Agatha all the timeIn the end Billy accepted Agatha as his spectral guide, proving that the show is about them and not Wanda.

Scarlet Witch could still return in the MCU

Agatha all along wasn’t the only way Wanda could return

While The Witches’ Road has proven to not be a way for Wanda to return to the MCU, there are still plenty of ways it could happen. Interestingly, the MCU hasn’t been blatantly clear about whether Wanda is actually dead or not. There have been some references that she is, still Agatha all the time the opening of episode 7 seemed to imply that the answer is less certain. Billy asks Agatha if Wanda is really dead, to which she responds “Yes. No. Maybe.”

Then there’s the matter of Billy and Tommy being alive once again in the MCU. It would be a shame for Wanda’s children to have been reincarnated only for her to die before she had a chance to reunite with them, especially since that was the goal that set her on the path to her death. So there are many reasons why the MCU could bring Wanda Maximoff back and many ways the franchise could do so. However, The Witch’s Road in Agatha all the time proved not to be one of them.
