It finally happened. After years of speculation and theorizing, Mephisto is now canon in Marvel’s Cinematic Universe. While the demonic entity hasn’t shown his face just yet, he does earn a surprising namedrop in Agatha All Along, Marvel’s latest Disney+ series. In a conversation with Agatha’s mysterious Teen (Joe Locke), Jennifer Kale (Sasheer Zamata) reveals that Mephisto is, in fact, kicking around somewhere in the MCU.
As Agatha is a spin-off of WandaVision, the series that kicked Mephisto theories into high gear in 2021, this Easter egg feels like a full-circle moment. With writer-director Jac Schaeffer at the center of both shows, one might assume this was part of the plan all along. In truth, though, Schaeffer has never been all that interested in the Mephisto discourse, as it tends to distract from the emotional threads of the story being told.
