Agatha All Along's Mephisto namedrop might've been more important than we thought: "That is larger than me and this show"

Agatha All Along's cast, including Joe Locke's Teen.

In its third episode, new Marvel series Agatha All Along looked to poke fun at all of our wild Mephisto-based theories surrounding WandaVision. According to showrunner Jac Schaeffer, though, that namedrop might wind up being more than just a throwaway gag...

"It was a conversation with [Agatha] executive producer Mary Livanos, [Marvel's head of streaming] Brad [Winderbaum] and [Marvel Studios boss] Kevin [Feige], but it is a mention that is larger than me and this show. It is the larger Marvel-ness of it," Schaeffer told The Hollywood Reporter. "So it is not about me bristling or having any kind of a reaction or agenda, mostly because that type of fevered discourse that is very, very rooted in the comics is not as interesting to me as the current story being told in the series at hand."
