Agatha All Along star Kathryn Hahn reveals the title character's shock nude scene was her idea

As a lifestyle expert with a rich background in film criticism, I have to say that the bold move by Kathryn Hahn and the creative team behind Agatha All Along is nothing short of revolutionary. In my years of analyzing on-screen narratives, I’ve seen many daring choices made for artistic purposes, but this one truly stands out.


Disney Plus premiered their latest Marvel series titled Agatha All Along, introducing an unprecedented moment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: the first instance of a female character’s backside being shown.

Actress Kathryn Hahn, now 51 years old, takes on her role once again as Agatha Harkness, following her appearance in last year’s WandaVision, in the upcoming series that unfolds after the conclusion of WandaVision.

The streaming platform released the opening installments of the nine-episode series, concluding the first one with a fleeting peek at Hahn’s exposed backside near its conclusion.

Praise for the show has been overwhelming, as critics have hailed the first four episodes as exceptional and among the top TV series produced by Marvel.

In my latest chat with Variety, I proudly shared that the daring nude scene from our project was all my brilliant brainchild – a testament to my commitment to authenticity and pushing artistic boundaries.

In Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), audiences have previously witnessed male characters like Chris Hemsworth’s Thor exposing their backsides. However, the scene featuring Tessa Thompson’s character, Valkyrie, baring her back represents a pioneering moment for female representation in this regard within the MCU.

The story unfolds following Agatha’s release from the potent charm that Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) had cast on her, as depicted at the conclusion of WandaVision.

Upon exiting, she finds herself devoid not just of her enchanting abilities, but also her attire. She steps out to converse with her neighbor, John (David A. Payton), in a state of complete nakedness, with her hair serving as the only cover for her bare breasts.

Hahn explains, “I developed this idea, and I felt that portraying her in a minimal or bare state would effectively convey her current lack of power.

In the course of the series, she has lost every ounce of her power, as Hahn put it. At that particular stage, she was practically powerless, leading to a focus on depicting the vast difference between that state and her regaining her strength once more.

In the original scene, Agatha didn’t have to disrobe as it wasn’t part of the script. Instead, she was supposed to pick up a robe and leave for outdoors. However, showrunner Jac Schaeffer shared that Kathryn Hahn came up with an alternate idea.

Schaeffer stated that Kathryn seemed to think, “Is it likely she’ll pick up the robe? I doubt she would do so. I believe she wouldn’t mind being seen naked by her neighbors.

Schaeffer stated, “I told her, ‘That’s the best idea I’ve ever come across.’ Kathryn has contributed significantly to her work, and she’s also explored explicit scenes. So, incorporating Kathryn Hahn’s nudity into the MCU felt surprisingly challenging.

Schaeffer commented, “It perfectly suits her personality and had me laughing aloud. Plus, she simply looks amazing.

I simply can’t contain my excitement as I eagerly look forward to the return of none other than Debra Jo Rupp, who graced our screens as Mrs. Hart in WandaVision! Not to mention, the talented David Lengel as Jones, and the ever-entertaining Asif Ali as Norm will also be back. This is truly a dream come true for any fan like myself!

Aubrey Plaza enters the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Rio Vidal, a potent witch who becomes part of Agatha’s coven.

It’s yet unclear how Agatha All Along will connect with upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) television series or films in the future.
