Kathryn Hahn knows all work and no play makes Agatha Harkness a very dull witch as the actress looks to launch a sexual renaissance in the MCU!

Kathryn Hahn’s Agatha Harkness is not our average nosy neighbor nor does she know how to play by the rules. The ancient purple witch who takes pleasure in raining down chaos on her unwitting rivals constantly teeters on the fence between being extremely likable, unbelievably annoying, and sensually empowering.

Meanwhile, comic books and sexuality have been intertwined with each other since the advent of time. Superior, enigmatic, and suggestively spandex-ed action heroes kicking ass and taking names, all while looking dramatically poised and graceful – the comic book panels are almost writing themselves.

Characters like Daredevil, Bruce Wayne, and Tony Stark have always been somewhat liberal with their playboy identities in the Marvel lore as compared to the prudish naïvete of characters like Captain America and Superman.

But, Kathryn Hahn is here to right all the wrongs that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has committed by keeping their timeline strictly PG-13. As Disney+ launches their latest CBM misadventure with Agatha All Along, the fans are about to witness a new dawn in the era of live-action comic book storytelling.

Kathryn Hahn Brings Sensuality Into the MCU

While Kathryn Hahn‘s debut in WandaVision was a thing of beauty, the actress gets free range in her solo enterprise in her very first Disney+ series, Agatha: House of Harkness. I mean, Agatha: Coven of Chaos. No wait, it’s Agatha: Darkhold Diaries. Or, according to Feige, it has been Agatha All Along.

As the witchy anti-hero unravels her new plans after waking up from the nightmarish confines of her mentally-induced sitcom in the made-up town of Westview, fans are left to wonder whether she intends to do more harm than good, especially in a world devoid of Elizabeth Olsen‘s Scarlet Witch and her infamous Darkhold. But contrary to what fans might think, all Hahn wants to do is have a little bit of fun.

In an interview with The New Yorker, the actress addresses her character’s sexual identity, saying:

Agatha has a s*x life—I definitely feel like it’s in there. She talks about her hubby, Ralph, and she says, “There’s no taming this tiger.” But I would argue that we don’t need a cutaway to, like, Agatha in bed, in “WandaVision.” I don’t think that would add to the nuance or the forward motion.

Marvel has adhered to its Disney-sanctioned PG-13 identity for far too long. With the R-rated success of Deadpool & Wolverine and looking at the astounding progress that DC has made with its recent projects like Joker and The Batman, a radical shift toward a more mature and R-rated approach is a much-needed change to ensure the long-term survival of the CBM genre.

Marvel Stumbles Along in Its Post-Endgame Haze

In the aftermath of Avengers: Endgame, the slow drawl of Phases Four and Five have spanned across five years in real-time – equivalent to the Blip in MCU’s in-universe chronology. In that time, the oversaturation of comic book content and the diverse, uncontrolled experimentation with different genres has left Marvel a scattered mess adrift in the high sea without an anchor.

In the glory days, the six original Avengers and Thanos provided that anchor for the audience and the MCU timeline. No matter how much a character digressed from their path, every project in the Infinity Saga had an important role to play in the larger picture of the Marvel lore. Jonathan Majors‘ Kang the Conqueror proved to be the anchor for Marvel’s post-Endgame featurette until he was eventually let go by Feige due to his high-profile controversy.

Now, Marvel looks to fill the void with a caricature of different superheroes, ranging from the supernatural to the magical. As stalled projects like Blade and Midnight Sons keep the fans in a perpetual state of anxious misery, other projects like Agatha All Along and Fantastic Four work overtime to relieve the fandom’s collectively pent-up frustrations.

The best one can hope for in Marvel’s post-Endgame haze is for the power of nostalgia to do its trick and make the fans scurry back into the theaters to watch the second coming of Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom while the Russo Brothers work their magic on the epic finale to the Multiverse Saga.

Agatha All Along is currently streaming on Disney+. New episodes arrive weekly followed by a two-episode grand finale on The Devil’s Night.
