Agatha All Along has proffered some notable developments for the MCU but could have secretly introduced another member of the Young Avengers. Agatha All Along centers on Agatha Harkness, the classic witch from Marvel Comics who served as the primary antagonist for Marvel’s WandaVision. Several other characters from WandaVision appear in Agatha All Along, but one fan theory suggests that there may be another, who in turn could signal the arrival of another Young Avenger in the MCU.
The Young Avengers have been anticipated in the MCU since The Multiverse Saga began introducing younger equivalents of the classic Avengers line-up. In Marvel Comics, the Young Avengers are a group of younger heroes inspired by the original Avengers. Several have already been introduced into the MCU timeline, including Kate Bishop in Hawkeye and America Chavez in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. A common Agatha All Along theory suggests another may have reemerged, but if true, then a second might be just around the corner.
Agatha All Along Sets Up Scarlet Witch’s Son’s Return (Or So Everyone Thinks)
Teen’s Identity Remains A Mystery
Since WandaVision, many have speculated about the eventual return of Wanda Maximoff’s sons, Billy and Tommy, who were central to the show’s emotional arc. While they were only children in the series, the comics suggest a much more significant future for Billy, who eventually grows up to become Wiccan, a powerful magic user and a key member of the Young Avengers. Billy was last seen in the MCU in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, as the child of a Scarlet Witch variant, and his return has been broadly expected.
Consequently, a prevailing Agatha All Along theory suggests that Wiccan may have returned to the MCU with the character Teen. Teen’s identity is a mystery in Agatha All Along, with Agatha seemingly unable to hear his real name or details of his history. This fueled speculation regarding his identity, which will evidently be revealed as somebody significant, such as Billy.
It is worth noting here that the MCU is notorious for misdirecting fans. However, if true, this theory could lead to a different significant development. If Teen is indeed Billy, it could signal the arrival of another pivotal hero – someone deeply connected to Wiccan in the comics: Hulkling.
Hulkling’s Link To Billy In Marvel Comics
Hulking And Billy Are Married In Marvel Comics
In Marvel Comics, Billy Kaplan’s love life plays a significant role in his character development. Billy is in a long-term relationship with another Young Avenger: Hulkling. The two characters share one of the most beloved romantic relationships in Marvel Comics, and their bond is a key element of the Young Avengers storyline. In fact, Billy and Hulkling eventually get married in the comics, cementing their partnership as not only superheroes but also life partners.
This connection has led many to speculate that if Billy is in Agatha All Along, then Hulkling, might not be far behind. The MCU has been building toward more significant LGBTQ+ representation after a dismal history. Introducing Billy and Teddy’s relationship would be a major step forward in that regard. The MCU has also been slowly introducing the Young Avengers into the franchise, with several characters dotted throughout the MCU’s previous movies. As Teen’s boyfriend has already been teased, there is a high possibility that he will be Hulkling.
Teen’s Boyfriend Explained
Teen’s Boyfriend Will Appear In Agatha All Along
While Teen is an enigmatic character who has already caught viewers’ attention in the first two episodes of Agatha All Along, it’s the brief glimpse of his phone ringing with the word “boyf” on the screen that has sparked major speculation. Although this may seem like a small detail, it’s an essential clue. Teen’s boyfriend has already been confirmed to appear later in the series and will be played by Miles Gutierrez-Riley.
Miles Gutierrez-Riley’s character has been confirmed as being called Eddie. This greatly bolsters the Hulkling theory, as Hulkling’s real name is Teddy. This similarity is hard to ignore and suggests that Eddie is, in fact, a reimagined version of Hulkling for the MCU. If Teen turns out to be Billy, as many believe, then Eddie being Hulkling would solidify this connection. This would also expand the ever-growing roster of the Young Avengers into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As a result, Agatha All Along could have even more far-reaching consequences than already expected.
