Kathryn Hahn Pitched Her Own ‘Agatha All Along’ Nude Scene: ‘It Was Good to See Her as Stripped Down’

As an ardent admirer of Kathryn Hahn‘s remarkable artistry and her fearless approach to acting, I must say that her performance in “Agatha All Along” is nothing short of breathtaking. The scene where Agatha emerges from the spell wearing no clothes, a testament to her powerlessness at the moment, is a poignant illustration of vulnerability and resilience.


Caution: Plot Reveals: This narrative delves into the key events unfolding in the initial installment of “Agatha All Along,” now available for streaming on Disney+.

Turns out, it was Agatha all along.

During the debut of “Agatha All Along” on Wednesday, viewers were treated to an abundance of actress Kathryn Hahn’s screen time. In a playful twist for Marvel, this series marked a unique moment in their history as Hahn became the first woman to bare her backside in a Marvel Studios production. While Marvel has previously shown male rear ends, such as the Hulk in “Thor: Ragnarok” and Thor in “Thor: Love and Thunder,” Hahn’s character broke new ground for female representation.

As a movie enthusiast, I shared with EbMaster my idea behind the scene. I believed portraying her in a minimalist, almost bare state, symbolized her vulnerability and lack of control in the current situation.

The storyline focuses on Agatha Harkness following an enigmatic teenage character named Joe Locke, who aids in releasing her from the enchantment by Scarlet Witch at the end of “WandaVision.” In order for Agatha to re-enter the real world, she must shed all her personas from “WandaVision” – this involves her appearing without any clothes after breaking free from the spell, with just her hair creatively covering her chest.

At this stage in the series, Hahn explains, she’s lost all her authority. In essence, she was powerless then, which made the storyline focus on depicting the contrast between that helplessness and her eventual regaining of power.

As per showrunner Jac Schaeffer, during the filming of Agatha’s decision to flee her home in the nude, actress Kathryn Hahn deviated from the script. Instead of picking up a robe before dashing outside as originally planned, Hahn decided to improvise based on what she thought Agatha would do spontaneously at that specific moment.

Kathryn expressed doubt, saying something like ‘I wonder if she’d take the robe? I don’t think she would. I believe she wouldn’t mind being naked in front of neighbors.’ Schaeffer remarked. He then added, ‘That’s the best idea I’ve ever come across.’ Kathryn has a history of doing daring scenes, and so it felt rebellious to incorporate Kathryn Hahn’s nudity into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In the relevant sequence, cameras were tactfully positioned to conceal any unwanted parts of Hahn’s body from view, with her hair providing additional discretion. Agatha engages in a chat with her neighbor, John (portrayed by David A. Payton), only to be startled when she discovers that she’s been confined by Wanda. The camera switches between the actors as John tries to enlighten her about her nakedness and comically urges her to dress appropriately.

Eventually, she goes back inside, puts on her robe and begins to brainstorm her escape.

Schaeffer remarks, ‘It truly reflects her personality, and it’s hysterical!’ He adds, ‘Moreover, she looks simply stunning.’
