(Spoilers from Marvel Studios and Disney+’s WandaVision will be found below.)
With the first two episodes of WandaVision now streaming on Disney+, Marvel fans are already hard at work combing through the show for Easter eggs and clues as to what’s really happening with the series’ bizarre sitcom setting. So far, WandaVision has only slightly tipped its hat to outside forces with the presence of SWORD, which in the comics is a more space-based version of SHIELD, but it may have a different purview in the MCU. However, Twitter user “shrish” noted a key piece of dialogue between Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda and Kathryn Hahn’s Agnes in Episode 2, which may hint at a classic Marvel villain lurking behind the scenes.
In the brief exchange, Dottie (Buffy‘s Emma Caulfied Ford) tells another character that, “The devil’s in the details, Bev,” which prompts Agnes to quip to Wanda, “That’s not the only place he is.” As shrish suggests, this could be a clever reference to Mephisto, who’s essentially Marvel’s version of Satan and might be Agnes’ unseen husband, “Ralph.” There are also theories that Agnes is secretly Agatha Harkness, an ancient sorceress tied to the Scarlet Witch’s past who’d be right at home pairing up with Mephisto.
