Kathryn Hahn, who played Agnes/Agatha Harkness in WandaVision, has revealed that she wants to reprise her role.
When asked by The New York Times if she'd be back, Hahn answered: "I have no idea. They keep it really tight." She then commented: "I want to. Now that I have a taste of it, I'm like, ahh. I really, really love it."
Agnes initially seemed like nothing more than a nosy neighbor, but her true identity as the powerful (and wicked) witch Agatha Harkness was eventually unveiled – though a hidden detail teased her true identity from her first appearance. She posed a serious challenge for Wanda, who in the finale's showdown became Scarlet Witch at last.

Hahn talked a bit about filming this sequence while discussing how enjoyable the sitcom aspects of the show were: "It was so fun to be able to let go in those ways. At the end of every episode, we would try to shoot a little extra portion of it for the theme song. So I could play directly to the camera and that would always make us laugh so hard." Hahn added that she knew from the start that Agatha would get a theme song, and that she was happy to sing it.
As for Agatha's fate, turned back into her neighbor persona by Wanda, Hahn commented: "I actually don't think, ultimately, that she minds it. She needed to rest for a hot second. She's been very restless. I think she was very lonely, for a very, very long time. She loves having the companionship – loves the mailman, loves Ralph, loves Dottie. For the moment, I think she's actually OK to just loosen the corset and sit and have a muffin and a latte."
Hahn and her singing skills certainly brought a surprising twist to WandaVision, so we're hoping Agatha will return someday, too – maybe even as a mentor to Wanda, like her comic book counterpart.
