Agatha All Along first reviews praise Marvel’s ‘gayest project to date’

Agatha All Along has received positive first reviews, and been called Marvel’s “gayest project to date”.

The WandaVision spin-off stars Kathryn Hahn as witch Agatha Harkness, alongside Broadway legend Patti LuPone, Heartstopper‘s Joe Locke, Aubrey Plaza and Sasheer Zamata.

Responding to the “gayest project” label, creator Jac Schaeffer told Variety: “I will take that and I will love that and I will tuck that under my pillow at night. This show is about love, found family and theatricality, and [about] the good, fabulous, well-styled kind of nastiness.”

Plaza, who plays Rio Vidal, simply joked: “It better be, ’cause that’s what I signed up for.”

Locke has previously said his character, Teen, is gay, and proves that Marvel isn’t just for straight men.
