One of the exciting reveals from the latest installment of the hit series was the confirmation that Kathryn Hahn’s Agnes was actually Agatha Harkness, a powerful witch from Marvel Comics. The character’s arrival teased a significant shift in the power balance of the MCU, as evidenced by

the character’s treasure trove of artifacts

that are hidden in her secret lair beneath Westview.

The villain’s introduction in “Episode 7” was one of the show’s memorable scenes, considering that it was done to fit the sitcom approach of the series. Admittedly, Agatha’s inclusion

will naturally prompt more questions from viewers

.

Now, an interesting promotional image has emerged, seemingly hinting that the nefarious plans of the villain will be revealed to Wanda sooner than expected.

AGATHA HARKNESS VS. WANDA MAXIMOFF

The latest piece of

WandaVision

merchandise from

Marvel Entertainment

provides a sneak peek of the continued confrontation between Kathryn Hahn’s Agatha Harkness and Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff.

In the image, it shows the two characters inside the underground lair from Westview, with Wanda seemingly defeated while a smiling Agatha stands over her

A MAGICAL CONFRONTATION

Right away, it seems that “Episode 8” of

WandaVision

will finally give an explanation of how Agatha became the root cause of the Westview anomaly. Given the secrecy surrounding the MCU series, it’s possible that the image above was taken from the early moments of the upcoming chapter, mainly due to the fact that Marvel didn’t include a spoiler warning upon its release.

The confrontation between the two characters is hotly anticipated, and it will be interesting to find out how it will all go down. Based on the image above, Wanda’s current stance could mean that Agatha induced her with some kind of spell, or this could hint that the Avenger hasn’t recovered yet from what the villain did to her at the tail-end of “Breaking the Fourth Wall.”

In Marvel Comics, Agatha served as a mentor for Wanda, helping the Scarlet Witch to harness her hex powers. Now, the live-action dynamic doesn’t seem to resemble their comic-book counterparts, but many would agree that another misdirect could happen and lead to another revelation that a different and more powerful entity is behind of the alternate reality shenanigans.

Whatever the case, all will be revealed when “Episode 8" of

WandaVision

drops on Disney+.
