Scheduled to premiere today (18), Agatha Since Always is a Disney+ series that will explore more of the magical side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). As with other productions on the platform, the story was made to work well on its own, but will bring several references to plots and characters from the past.
Fortunately, the story's more focused theme makes it you don't need to watch more than 10 years of movies and series to understand its concepts and characters. To make your “homework” easier, we’ve gathered together which series and films you need to keep in mind to make the most of the new streaming attraction.
What do you need to watch before Agatha Ever After?
To really enjoy the plot of Agatha Since Always, the only previous production that is mandatory is the series WandaVision. Also available on Disney+, the series stands out for revealing the first appearance of Agatha Harkness in the MCU and for establishing her relationship with Wanda Maximoff and Vision.
Without going into any major spoilers, the sorceress played by Kathryn Hahn was responsible for manipulating the duo and making them believe that they had found happiness in a fictional world. For her crimes, she ended up being imprisoned in the town of Westview, from which she will be freed by a mysterious gothic teenager.
In addition to the streaming series, It is also important to have watched Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness to understand the current state of the world of magic in the MCU. The 2022 feature film shows what happened to Wanda after the events of WandaVision and reveals the true scope of the character's powers.

Those who want to delve even deeper into the former Avenger's past can also check out the films listed below. However, they are not essential to understanding Agatha Ever After, which will present its own slice of the Marvel universe and several new characters. Check out the summary selection:
- WandaVision
- Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
- Avengers: Age of Ultron;
- Avengers: Infinity War;
- Avengers: Endgame.
What to expect from the series?
Agatha Ever After is set to pick up right after the events of WandaVision, when its main character was defeated. Trapped in Westview, the character will find herself without access to most of her powers, which will force her to gather a coven of witches to accompany her on the Witch Road.

This magical place promises to offer many challenges and dangers to those who decide to go through it, a mission that can end the life of those who are not strong enough. However, Those who are victorious will be able to find “what they lack” — which, in the protagonist's case, appear to be her powers from the past.
Agatha Forever will give prominence to one of Marvel's oldest characters, created in 1969 by Stan Lee Jack Kirby. Initially linked to the Fantastic Four and displaying the features of an elderly woman, the sorceress gained a new look over the decades, as well as a more complex personality in recent years.
