Diego Ramos Bechara editor SPOILER WARNING: This story discusses plot developments in the first episode of “Agatha All Along,” currently streaming on Disney+.

Turns out, it was Agatha all along. On Wednesday’s premiere of “Agatha All Along” — Marvel Television’s sequel series to the critically acclaimed “WandaVision” — audiences got to see a lot of star Kathryn Hahn, who made a bit of cheeky Marvel history.

Although Marvel hasn’t shied away from showing male butt cheeks — Hulk in “Thor: Ragnaror,” Thor in “Thor: Love and Thunder” — Hahn is the first woman to show her bare butt in a Marvel Studios project. “Well, I came up with it,” Hahn explains to Variety. “I thought it was good to see her as stripped down, literally, as we possibly could, which spoke into her powerlessness at the present moment.” The series follows the infamous Agatha Harkness after a suspicious goth known as Teen (Joe Locke) helps free her from the spell cast by the Scarlet Witch at the end of “WandaVision” that kept Agatha trapped inside a TV universe (in her own mind) within the town of Westview.

In order for Agatha to come back to reality, she has to strip away all her old personas from “WandaVision” — quite literally, emerging from the spell wearing no clothes at all, with only her hair strategically draped over her chest. “She’s been stripped of all of her power at this point in the series,” Hahn says. “I mean, she really had nothing at that point, and so it became about illustrating that gap between that moment and her finding her power again.” According to showrunner Jac Schaeffer, Hahn went off-script while shooting Agatha’s decision to leave her home while she’s still naked.
