Sorry Marvel fans, Agatha All Along’s showrunner just shut down a major Thanos theory

Aubrey Plaza’s Rio Vidal was unmasked as Death in Agatha All Along episode 7, but showrunner and creator Jac Schaeffer has already addressed a big Thanos-shaped question posed by Marvel fans.

For the unaware, Marvel’s comics frequently depict Thanos as being enamored or obsessed with the personification of Death – even going as far as snapping away half the universe with the Infinity Gauntlet in a twisted bid to impress her.

While Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame sidestepped that aspect of the Mad Titan’s motivations, the arrival of Death in the MCU has led to many – understandably – thinking that Thanos won’t be far behind.

However, as Schaeffer unequivocally told Inverse, Thanos won’t be showing up in Agatha All Along.

"Thanos is not in my show, so I can't speak to any Thanos connections. Thanos stans out there, I have no answers for you."

  • White Vision in WandaVision VisionQuest showrunner is already teasing a possible season 2: "You could very much see these characters again"

Despite that, Schaeffer says that the final two episodes of Agatha’s standalone series – streaming from October 30 – will reveal more about Death.

"There will be a little bit more illuminating about our version of Death, but what I will say is we generally leave some of it to interpretation in this show. But you'll get a little bit more understanding of how she operates in the last two episodes."

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
