Every Marvel show and film spawns fan theories, but the fervor around WandaVision<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>took things to a new pitch. From speculations about Mephisto<\/a> and Reed Richards to a secret tenth episode, MCU fans were determined to solve the show\u2019s mysteries, for better and worse.<\/p>\n The upcoming\u00a0Agatha All Along\u00a0<\/em>will spawn plenty of theories of its own, but it sounds like the crew has learned from\u00a0WandaVision\u00a0<\/em>and is determined to not let things get so out of control. In an interview with actor Joe Locke (who plays Agatha\u2019s tagalong simply known as \u201cTeen\u201d), the Hollywood Reporter<\/a> noted showrunner Jac Schaeffer took \u201cextra steps\u201d to stop the theorycrafting from getting so chaotic. For Teen, this was encouraged by choosing to mute or visually censor him whenever he mentions anything about his background or identity. Despite thinking all the secrecy was \u201creally frustrating\u201d \u201cat first, Locke eventually came around on the need to keep things close to the chest.<\/p>\n \u201cSecrets are secrets for a reason,\u201d he explained. \u201cIf I was able to talk about it now, it would ruin the whole point of the show, and that is what keeps me being able to keep a secret.\u201d What\u2019s not a secret is how much Locke enjoyed playing the character, not just because it\u2019s Marvel, but also since Teen let him play a more \u201cmysterious and complicated character\u201d than his previous roles. The most exciting thing for him will be seeing how audiences take to Teen and his growth throughout the series. \u201cThe Teen we see in the first four or so episodes is very different to the Teen we see in the last couple of episodes,\u201d he teased. \u201cEven on this press day, people are talking about the character, and I\u2019m like, \u2018Ah, that\u2019s what you think now<\/em>.’\u201d<\/p>\n Agatha All Along\u00a0<\/em>premieres September 18 on Disney+.<\/p>\n Want more io9 news?
