Based on the cohesion between WandaVision and Agatha All Along, plus her winking, Easter-eggs understanding of the comic backgrounds of the characters, Jac Schaeffer should be delegated by Feige as the "showrunner" producer for all of the MCU's magic storylines.

This would be similar to how James Gunn was across some non-GOTG productions as a producer—like Infinity War and Endgame and Thor 4—to ensure cohesion between stories. He had input on editing and writing as well as some elements of production to maintain consistency and appropriateness, especially when one of his characters was used.

Here's how I see this.

1. This means Schaeffer should be a producer with Dustin Daniel Cretton on Shang-Chi 2 and offer narrative input to bring together Wong and Strange with Shang-Chi as needed.
2. Schaeffer should also work on a third Dr. Strange film that weaves together known villains and supporting players associated with Agatha Harkness, Ghost Rider, and Blade.
3. Schaeffer should also immediately be across the Blade film as a producer, looking to integrate Blade into the magical community of characters and shared villains. She should also be part of any subsequent sequels.
4. Schaeffer should also be a producer on the Fantastic Four films to offer input on the continuity with Mephisto and other magical villains that FF face.
5. Schaeffer should be a primary producer on a Ghost Rider TV series as well as a TV series involving Kit Harrington's Black Knight. These don't strike me as tentpole properties but would be well served as television properties who could appear in supporting roles in other films.
6. Schaeffer should offer producer input on Secret Wars films for any magical storylines.
7. Finally, Schaeffer should be the writer behind a standalone Scarlet Witch film that focuses on Wanda's magic and a magical villain, but with an end credits sequence that opens the door for ties to mutant storylines as well.

However, I believe a different producer-level "showrunner" should be selected to lead up the main X-Men mutant film and TV storylines.

One of the main symptoms of the MCU struggling is too many disparate storylines without great oversight. Feige was good at "showrunning" a handful of films, but he can't be across everything to the same exact degree. He needs to appoint trusted mid-level showrunners who can be the authority on a specific type of film.

There are magic/dimensional storylines.

There are space/time storylines.

And there are Earth-based or "friendly, neighborhood" storylines.

There should be a producer for each of those categories who is across those storylines and characters and can provide insight to the writing.

And that's not to say they can't mingle. It's great that Dr. Strange has interaction with Spider-Man. They're in the same city. It makes sense.

But we can't have another situation where a TV show spends 3.5 hours on a storyline that gets regurgitated in some fashion again in a film eight months later. Or another situation where a TV series introduces a character who isn't comic-accurate in any way and also kills off characters or retires characters in a way they shouldn't be.

I also want to give a shout-out to Eric Martin, the head writer for Season 2 of Loki, who did a fantastic job wrangling that show AND the Kang villain, bringing closure to a real pickle of a storyline because of Jonathan Majors. The final two episodes of that show were amazing and Martin should be given more opportunities within Marvel. Don't let that guy go. He could have great answers for what's next for the space/time storylines of MCU.

I see a ton of theory crafting and discussion which is awesome, but one thing I’m sorta curious about that I don’t see discussed…was that dude who creepily told her about the Darkholds all being destroyed (in the “library”) supposed to be someone we recognized? Or some random? Seems like a semi-important moment and maybe I missed it, but either (a) who was that guy or (b) am I the weird one for thinking that shouldn’t have been a throw away rando delivering that line?

Far stretch or not so far stretch? Teen is Agatha's son.

Jen told Teen that he should be careful around Agatha and when he tried to defend her Jen said the Agatha sacrificed her own son for the darkhold. After hearing that Teen looked sad/disappointed/shocked which is understandable. But what if he feels some sort of witchy connection to her and that's why he sought her put for the road instead of a sane witch that's able to use their powers?

Agatha is also interested in Teen (because of his curse) and he is the only one in the "coven" she semi-listens to and hasn't tried to betray. During her hallucination Agatha almost cried upon seeing the dark hold showing her regret in her decision.

What if Agatha gave up her child as her sacrifice instead of killing him, but she's convinced he's dead and doesn't really know what happened to him?

She could've seen him disappear and the dark hold was in his place or he could've been traded to another witch.

Edit: Sorry for the repetition, apparently, this is a common theory on this sub. My feed is currently slow to update, so I haven't seen any other posts with this theory yet.

Hello, suggestions and ideas for plot from here appreciated!

There's not a hint of gold in this arm in any of the scenes from the trailer, so I'm wondering if they are keeping with the gag bit at the end of the Guardians holiday special. Even without the gold, it LOOKS a lot like the Wakandan one. So - did he get another one from Wakanda? Did one of the Guardians apologetically return it with some "enhancements?" Did he hear Peter was on Earth and pay him a visit? Or did he find the feature that lets him change the appearance of the arm to coordinate with his outfits?

!At the end of this episode we see what's happened to one of the coven and Agatha's reply is "Who?".!<

!My first reaction to this was to laugh, because I thought it was all about the name she knew her by, Mrs Hart. I took this statement to mean "I don't know who Sharon is!".!<

However, what if there's another reason...

What if when a witch succumbs to the road, the witch is removed from existence. Not immediately but a slow erasure of everything relating to the witch from the minds of the coven who still live. What if that's the price of failure? You lose everything including your history.

Further to that, when a witch is erased there should be no coming back but what if Teen went on the road previously, also succumbed, therefore erased but...was brought back somehow. Darkhold/Wanda? Due to the erasure, their story, their background, their history...their name cannot be uttered. Never known. That's the sigil. Whatever or whoever looks after the road would now allow anyone to come back AND still be known.

And that's why Agatha doesn't recognise him. She's been on the road and, we're led to believe, succeeded and Teen was along for the ride.

Question: Has Agatha ever talked about the coven she walked the road with, previously? Names? What their skills were? Or was it just "They died"?

As we all have seen the concept of anchor being in Deadpool and The Wolverine, I wondered that who can be the anchor being of real timeline and I think it can be Steve Rogers as he was always get prevented from death, he wan an ordinary sick boy who was converted into an super soilder and now the power he have is next level but you don't think that why he was always get secured, why he was preserved in ice for more tha 70 years.Is that TVA behind all this and they don't want to let captain die?May be I am Wrong but just think, is that all doesn't make sense?

In Iron Man 2, Ivan Vanko has the number 6219 on his prison clothes, and is then swapped out by another prisoner with the same number pretending to be him. There is a close up to explain the ruse to the public.

Later at the presentation all the Navy drones have the number 961 in the same place on their chest, and the camera zooms in to show this, a throwback to the prison scene that hints the drones are secretly controlled by Ivan.

Sorry about my earlier post everyone, some of you may have seen it, where I said I enjoyed the show. It was at the time when I had watched the first episodes and the show was still somewhat tolerable. When I got to the final episode it really fell apart, I know some of you didn't even like the first episodes...

I have to say the acting was at times good and the show had really great potential. To have these kinds of epic settings, an intergalactic war between two alien races, a secret infiltration of our society, aliens with the power to steal the powers and identity of anyone, the man who put the Avengers together and his backstory never before told on-screen. Last, but not least, a budget of 211M, the show should have delivered so much more. But it didn't, it was lacklustre, such story potential wasted, such good actors(well known actors) wasted, so much money wasted.

The last MCU projects have all been awful, thought this would be an exception. It even had Samuel L. Jackson credited as producer, I thought maybe he would bring something to the table. I was wrong.

Here's some of the inconsistencies through the show, comment below if I missed something. Also possible SPOILERS ahead.

When Talos and Fury were trying to stop the attack on the UN -plane, they needed the code word for it. For Talos to be able pass as the General, abort the attack. Why didn't Talos just read the Generals memories, like we saw other Skrulls do to their victims?

Sometimes, or a lot of times, when we see Skrulls change their appearance we see their clothes change with them. As if the clothes are just part of their natural abilities and appearance. Then on other occasions when we see Skrulls getting killed, after they die they change to their original form, but somehow their clothes stay the same...

What did you hate most about the show? Would you do something differently, what would it be? Say one thing you thought was good on the show, or was there any?

What exactly was the trial? First, they, for some reason, needed to solve a riddle that lead to nowhere because the wine was right there in front of them.

Then they drank it and a 30 minutes timer started, but towards what? Because they didn't all drink at the same time and the water came after they allegedly succeeded. So was the trial "drink the wine and make a potion"?

The oven door opened after the timer was done and before the water ran, and Sharon died anyway, probably before they entered the oven. So it just makes you think did they all actually need to take the potion.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating, I'm not one of those who were against this show from the moment it was announced and I'm very excited for the rest of it, but it just feels like they didn't think it through

Do you think we will see Man-Thing again and if so, will he be in the Nexus of All Realities (NoAR)? It’s possible we saw him and Jack in WWbN at the swamp/NoAR at the end of the film, but where else?

Or…

Spoliers for Agatha All Along

!Have we just seen more of the NoAR in Agatha All Along episode 3. Sharon’s arms get sucked into a swamp-like environment or tar-filled pit with green all over. They also stumble into that house that ends up caving in from the rushing water. But then they end up back in that swampy area again. Idk, could just be The Witches Road overall, but it’s giving me a feeling that the road is a path to or even through The NoAR!<

So after rewatching Endgame I was left with a nagging continuity question. Where did Old Steve Rogers get the shield that he passed on to Sam Wilson? His original shield was destroyed in his fight with Thanos just before the combined heroes returned from the Snap were assembled for the final battle. At the end of the film when Cap departed to return the Stones he did not have the shield at all. He had the case with the Stones in one hand and Mjolnir in the other. Nothing was on his back.

So he must've gotten it in the past. Did he deprive an alternate Cap of his shield? Where did it come from?

the title is somewhat ironic, i personally don't think the MCU "fell off" as much as people online would make you think. i'm more in the camp of Nicepool when it comes to my opinion on the MCU (RIP). i will admit, however, that i'm somewhat biased, and the fact that the worst project from the MCU (Secret Invasion) was quite recent had me nervous.

but from my experience, i believe that Marvel is starting to earn back the goodwill of casual viewers. i base this on how my parents have acted towards Marvel's current and upcoming slate recently.

my mom, who isn't a superhero fan, wanted to watch Agatha All Along. she enjoyed the two premiere episodes, and wants to see the third one that's out now. this is the first time she's ever expressed interest in wanting to see a Marvel project.

secondly, my dad has done something similar. he, like many people, stopped watching after Endgame, and i think he's only seen Deadpool & Wolverine and some episodes of Moon Knight since. he's not a big fan of the multiverse (my brother and i dragged him to see D&W). recently, he said that he wanted to see Thunderbolts* when it comes out after seeing the trailer that dropped. not only that, but we wants to catch up on the projects that the characters in that film have been in. the last time he did that was for Infinity War.

i was surprised in both of these instances, and i'm confident that their sentiment is similar to a lot of the general public who stopped keeping up with the MCU. and after seeing Agatha All Along's high viewer-count for the premiere, this seems like Marvel is in the early phases of a comeback. it seems like they've also figured out some things they stumbled with in Phases 4 and 5 (hiring actual showrunners, using physical sets, etc), and while the reshoots for Cap 4 and DD: Born Again might worry some people, i think those were a result of Marvel changing things up and i hope they are for the best.

A major plot point in both versions of Sevret Wsrs is Doctor Doom gets the powers of the Beyonder and becomes a God, and it’s safe to assume the movie will be doing the same. Doomsday will probably just give us regular Doom, and then he gets the godly powers in Secret Wars.

The Beyonder himself hasn’t been introduced, and it might seem like a bit too much to try and introduce him alongside Doom, so how do you think it will be handled?

Who will Doom actually steal power from? I’d say some possibilities are:

1. Loki: He is the one holding the multiverse together, so it could work to have Doom find a way to steal the powers and take his place.

2. Galactus: He is being introduced in Fantastic Four and there are some rumours that they will make Galactus a singular being across the multiverse. So maybe they will just combine him and the Beyonder into one character so that Doom can take his powers.

3. They just introduce the Beyonder himself. It might be a bit too many characters, but it can probably still work.

Any other options you would say?

Scott Lang moved 5 years into the future while in the Quantum Realm. (Acknowledged in-universe as a jump forward, not time dilation.) Tony Stark reversed engineered time travel from Scott’s experiences. With this method, you could only go into the past of a parallel universe. Going forward … do you definitely go forward in your original universe … or a “close enough” universe? So, Scott from Earth-666A might have ended up in Earth-666 and the Endgame movie, while the Scott from Earth-666 ended up elsewhere (Earth-666A, Earth-666B, etc.) and had a different experiences. If he was ever rescued. Did Doctor Strange’s choices determine which Scott was pulled into Earth-666? The “wrong” Scott Lang might have caused some of the 14,000,604 failing options.

Why are the episodes for season 1 all there except episode 4 it skips it completely. I tried looking on the app on my phone,roku and kindle it's all the same. website refers me to download app for streaming

In my mind, there are only a few options assuming there is a young avengers film. this is what I imagine the lineup to be Captain Marvel Captain America Doctor Strange Spider-Man(if Sony plays nice) War machine Ant-man Wasp Thor(maybe) Hulk(maybe) She-hulk(maybe) Drawing blanks on anyone else

Is anyone able to find episode 3 of moon knight on their Disney+? We’re going back through Marvel shows my fiancé has missed and we were going to start this but noticed no episode 3 on the list. I have my content rating on the highest setting, TV-MA and I’m able to watch the rest. It’s been a while since I watched it but was there maybe something too graphic or something that made them remove the whole episode?

It's not really a deep fan theory, but I think the reason it has the asterisk is that it's a place holder and will most likely be revealed in the captain America: brave new world after credits scene. (Now keep in mind I haven't kept up with all the news so if I didn't know something some actor or director said and point that out and call me dumb.)

I have seen people think it's gonna be something like a subtitle like World War hulk or dark avengers, but I don't think that's very likely for either.

For World War hulk I don't think they've done the work to make something like that happen, unless they're planning on building a narrative with hulk and Skarr and they just doesn't feel like something that the MCU would do and it also feels like a waist of the skarr character (love the MCU version or not)

If it was dark avengers I don't think they would hide that from the initial reveal trailer. It would have been like endgame where people were cheering "omg we got the name" and in this case it would be "omg, dark avengers!?"

It has to be something that would spoil brave new world or the thunderbolts itself(or less likey Agatha all along though I don't think that ones the culprit cause that's more of the mystical side of things. It could, I just don't see it as likely.)

I have a couple of theories as to what that might be: (potential spoilers if I'm right)

1. Red hulk dies- so this one I'm basing on a couple of things. There doesn't seem to be any hints to thunderbolt Ross in the thunderbolts trailer which I find kinda weird cause it has his name on it. They showed him off in the Captain America trailer we know he's part of the universe. Unless the reason the thunderbolts are formed is to find out who killed Ross. Cause someone killing the president is kinda a big deal and I'd think it'd cause the government to go after who ever was responsible. I also don't see Harrison Ford commiting to a ton of marvel movies. he pretty famously didn't want to do a bunch of Star wars movies and I don't think a change of universes is gonna change him not wanting to be in a bunch of movies in a franchise.

If it was the falcon who killed red hulk Ross then it make sense as to why bucky is after the thunderbolts in the trailer. It would also make sense as to why he might join with them later. Personally I think this one makes the most sense.

2. A big character appears- I'm not stepped in enough Marvel lore to know who it could be. Maybe someone like Norman Osborne or Reed Richards or some other big name character they don't wanna give away in the title. Someone that people have wanted for years, and just haven't been able to put in the MCU for some reason or another.

3. Asterisk plot significance- now I could be completely wrong and the asterisk could be some spy thing I'm not familiar with or could have some plot significance like the whole sentry thing they hint at in the movie could be something like "project asterisk" and like the government or shield made sentry to fight the avengers if they went rogue and now he's escaped and is out and is fighting the B team cause there's no more avengers (or at least not in the same way.)

4. Something else- I'm just kinda covering bases with this one, but they could do something new and do more world building like they've done a lot in these phases. It's completely possible I'm way off base.

So am I dumb or am I on to something?

The other coven members represent different crafts and elements...

Air/divination witch Water/potions witch Fire/protection witch Earth/...earth witch

So what does that make Agatha? Is she supposed to be something like spirit/life/heart and her only power/specially is stealing the powers/life-force of other witches??

If the destruction of Asgard was a class 7 apocalypse, how was a simple storm at a supermarket a class 10 apocalypse? I've only watched up to S1E6 so pls no spoil

Although the Wiccan theories make sense, I'm wondering if Marvel is using that as bait to reveal that it is Nicholas Scratch. He is Agatha's son in the comics and for me, not sure about anyone else, you can kind of see a resemblance of his comic book counterpart, albeit he is older.

If they do go this route, I think this can play out in several different ways:

1. Marvel will spin his story to make it where a deal was made with Mephisto to hide him from Baron Mardo/Dormammu, which would be the big surprise reveal that catches everyone off guard.

2. Still revealed as Nicholas but will be revealed he got his powers from the Dark Demension, which would create the link back to Doctor Strange and possibly a Clea cameo.

3. A mix of the first two theories.

Wiccan does make sense since this story hits more of his origin story, so still a valid theory. But we know marvel does throw curve balls as well and pivots.
