“It wasn’t really a for-real conversation, and to speak plainly, it’s a larger conversation of casting, logistics, availability, and budget,” she told THR. “Also, to me, on a creative level, it didn’t feel fair to the character of Agatha. This is her story, and the idea of bringing Wanda back felt like it would upend that in a way.”
“I love Wanda desperately, and I feel she is a part of the show in that the repercussions of her actions ripple throughout this chapter,” Jac continued. “Of course, we also have her son, and we positioned him to have big feelings about Wanda and to not be lined up to immediately embrace her. So I’m interested to see where that thread goes in the MCU.”
If you missed it, Jac has also recently commented on the possibility of a second season and the rumored Scarlet Witch movie!
