For many who’ve watched the primary episode of the “WandaVision” spinoff “Agatha All Along,” you’ll know there’s an sudden second across the midway mark that may make you marvel for those who’re watching it on Disney+ or HBO (sorry, Max). Episode 1 begins with Kathryn Hahn‘s Agatha Harkness trapped in a true-crime version of life similar to “Mare of Easttown,” a result of the spell Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) put on her at the end of “WandaVision.” Thankfully, Rio (Aubrey Plaza) invades the spell to remind her of who she is, pushing her to strip through all the characters she’s performed in her try and steal Wanda’s chaos magic, till lastly, she’s fully nude.
“Well, I came up with it,” Hahn stated in a current interview with Selection. “I thought it was good to see her as stripped down, literally, as we possibly could, which spoke into her powerlessness at the present moment.”
For these involved with full nudity in a present geared largely in direction of children, Hahn’s breasts are lined by her hair, and her butt is just seen in a short shot. Nonetheless, seeing her parade across the neighborhood within the buff actually makes an affect, particularly contemplating it marks the primary time a girl has bared any a part of their physique within the MCU, however Hahn knew it will be vital to Agatha’s narrative.
“She’s been stripped of all of her power at this point in the series,” stated Hahn. “I mean, she really had nothing at that point, and so it became about illustrating that gap between that moment and her finding her power again.”
Initially the scene was written by collection creator Jac Schaeffer to have Agatha seize a gown earlier than she walked outdoors, however Hahn knew the second may pack a much bigger punch.
“Kathryn was like, ‘Would she grab the robe? I don’t feel like she would grab the robe. I feel like she would really not care about being naked in front of the neighbors,’” Schaeffer stated. “I told her, ‘That is the greatest idea I’ve ever heard.’ Kathryn has done so much work, and she’s done a lot of nudity and other things, and so it also felt very subversive to get Kathryn Hahn’s nudity into the MCU.”
