As she reprises her role as the witch everyone loves to hate, Kathryn Hahn says it "makes total sense" she's continuing the story.
The "Agatha All Along" star, who first introduced Agatha Harkness to the world in the hit 2021 Marvel series "WandaVision," said the rich complexity of her character excites her.
"It's so juicy. You can see her as a simple bad witch, but she's not. No one is bad," Hahn said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. "There's always something that they're covering up that they put all these levels on top of, so the fun was trying to keep the mask on with all these meteors of truth banging at that core."
The Marvel Television series, which premieres Wednesday on Disney+, picks up after "WandaVision" as Agatha forms a makeshift coven to travel down the mythical Witches' Road on a quest to regain her powers. Although Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch captured Agatha's magic in "WandaVision," Hahn said she has felt empowered by the role.
A symbol that has become a crucial part of her character is the Neopagan triple goddess - the maiden, mother and crone as depicted on a brooch Agatha wears in both shows. Hahn says those symbols of transformation in the female life cycle have been reflected in her own life.
