MCU fans wonder what ‘Doctor Strange 2’ means for Agatha Harkness

This article contains spoilers for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

Kathryn Hahn’s Agatha Harkness stole the show in WandaVision with her entertaining brand of villainy and toe-tapping theme song. The character was such a hit that she’s getting her very own spinoff: Agatha: House of Harkness, likely due in mid-2023.

Now fans are wondering how the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, specifically Wanda’s fate, will impact Agatha. WandaVision ended with Wanda casting a mind-control spell on her, consigning her to live as ‘Agnes’ the bubbly sitcom personality she’d invented for herself.

r/MarvelStudios is currently debating whether Wanda’s (apparent) death will mean this spell is lifted, or whether the destruction of the Darkhold will push her back towards the light. We can surmise that Agatha: House of Harkness will somehow see her released from Wanda’s spell, though a reply points out that the show underlines that once a spell is cast it can’t be broken.

The first concept. Looks to be based on some sort of modern day Joan of Arc.

More warrior like, rather than the stereotypical 'witch' people think of.

MUCH more modern approach. Seems like she's just a regular woman living in 2022.

Very mystical and similar to Medusa in the hair design. Uses elements from old times, when she's originally from.

If that’s the case, the death of the spell caster won’t affect the spell itself, which also lines up with Doctor Strange’s explanation that his spell to protect the Time Stone in Avengers: Infinity War will be unaffected by Ebony Maw killing him.

Some also theorize that House of Harkness will see Wanda and Agatha reunite. Agatha’s closing words to Wanda in WandaVision were, “You’ve no idea what you have unleashed. You’re gonna need me.” and of all the characters, Agatha will probably be less judge-y about the whole murderous rampage thing.

We may get a hint when Agatha: House of Harkness starts filming in the fall, so watch this space.

In the meantime, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is now in theaters.

Fans already knew ‘Dune’ newcomer Christopher Walken was emperor of the universe

The news that Christopher Walken will star in the role of the emperor in Dune: Part Two came as no surprise to fans.

Eagle-eyed fans saw the casting of Walken in the role of Shaddam Corrino IV, the 81st Padishah Emperor of the Known Universe, as the fulfillment of a prophecy from the video for the Fatboy Slim song “Weapon of Choice“. The twenty-year-old clip was directed by Spike Jonze and features Walken dancing to the song, which contains a predictive quote from Frank Herbert’s Dune, “Walk without rhythm, and it won’t attract the worm.”

Fans have taken to social media to talk about Walken’s casting in the sequel to Denis Villeneuve’s Academy Award-winning science fiction epic Dune, describing it as a full-circle moment.

Getting Christopher Walken to play Emperor Shaddam IV of House Corrino in Dune part 2 is a total closed loop from his part in the Fatboy Slim video Weapon of Choice

The connection between Walken’s casting and his turn in “Weapon of Choice” was a source of delight.

“christopher walken cast in dune 2” is already great enough but followed by “just as fatboy slim prophesied” makes it incredible

News of Walken’s casting even saw one fan call Fatboy Slim a prophet.

Yet another fan saw seemed to think of Walken’s casting as a classic example of manifesting the heart’s desire.

Christopher Walken being in the Dune sequel is awesome because he danced around in Fatboy Slim’s “Weapon of Choice” video and that song is just straight-up Dune references over and over.

— GL (@glenbeatsrobots) May 12, 2022

Another fan simply stated that Walken was already the Emperor of the Known Universe.

Christopher Walken was already Emperor of the Known Universe. I don't know what all the fuss is about.

— Jason Benefield (@jasonbenefield) May 12, 2022

Walken will be joining Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Javier Bardem, Dave Bautista, Josh Brolin, and Rebecca Ferguson for the second installment. Other newcomers to the sequel are Florence Pugh in the role of Princess Irulan and Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha, the nephew of the odious Baron Harkonnen.

Dune: Part Two will start shooting this summer in Budapest.

Watch: Apple TV Plus unveils first teaser for new animated movie ‘Luck’

Apple TV Plus has been on a serious hot streak lately, having put out a whole bunch of incredible shows and scoring the Best Picture Oscar for CODA. Now they’re gunning for Disney’s crown, with the first teaser for the upcoming animated exclusive Luck giving us some serious Pixar vibes.

Then again, this isn’t surprising given that John Lasseter was (controversially) installed as Skydance’s head of animation in 2019.

The story of the film follows the activities of a secret department devoted to doling out good and bad luck. In the trailer, Scottish black cat Bob (voiced by Simon Pegg) gives us a quick tour of the facility, explaining that one of the keys to the department’s success is that no human has ever set foot inside… so you can imagine what’s about to happen.

Eva Noblezada voices Sam, described in the synopsis as “the unluckiest person in the world,” who journeys through the Land of Luck in an attempt to reverse her fortunes. Along the way, she’ll meet The Dragon (Jane Fonda), The Captain (Whoopi Goldberg), and ‘Rootie’ (voiced by John Ratzenberger).

That last bit of casting has to be a shot across Pixar’s bows, as Ratzenberger is indelibly associated with the company and had a role in their first 22 movies (most notably Hamm in the Toy Story series). The idea of a metaphysical concept turning out to be a regimented bureaucracy is also extremely Pixar, as seen in Monsters Inc, Inside Out, Coco, and Soul.

It remains to be seen whether Luck has what it takes to compete against Pixar’s wonders, something we’ll find out when the film releases later this year. More as we hear it.
