Next up on the roster is Joe Locke, the rising star of Netflix, who has been receiving heaps of praise from fans for his portrayal of one of Marvel's most iconic characters in his new series, Agatha All Along. The spin-off of the popular Disney+ show, WandaVision, also features a star-studded cast including Patti LuPone, Kathryn Hahn, and Aubrey Plaza. It's safe to say that the series has been a massive hit, with the first week of streaming alone raking in a whopping 9.3 million views.
As the series reaches its halfway point, fans were in for a major surprise as the identity of Joe's character, Teen, was revealed in a jaw-dropping twist that has already made Marvel history. The pivotal moment occurred in the fifth episode, "Darkest Hour / Wake Thy Power," where Teen finally unleashes his full powers in a showdown with the cunning Agatha. In a touching moment, Agatha remarks, "You're so much like your mother," referring to Wanda Maximoff, before Teen uses his abilities to defeat her. The scene ends with a stunning shot of Teen, adorned with a comic book crown, as Billie Eilish's "You Should See Me In a Crown" plays in the background.
However, this epic reveal didn't come without its challenges for Joe, who had to keep the secret of his character's true identity for two years. But it was all worth it as the scene confirmed a long-standing fan theory and left viewers in awe. Social media was buzzing with excitement as fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on Joe's performance. Many praised Joe for his portrayal of Wiccan, with one fan even calling it "one of the coolest MCU reveals." Others couldn't help but admire Joe's acting skills, with one fan gushing, "THE LOOK IN HIS EYES, GIVE JOE LOCKE HIS F**KING FLOWERS."
It's clear that Joe's performance as Wiccan has left a lasting impression on viewers, with many eagerly anticipating where his character's journey will take him next. In an Instagram post before the episode aired, the 21-year-old actor teased a major reveal, leaving fans on the edge of their seats. And while Joe has yet to spill all the details about his role, he did open up about what drew him to the character in a recent interview. "Teen's such a mysterious character," he shared. "There's a lot more to explore and solve, which is always exciting for an actor."
But Joe's role as Wiccan is not just exciting for fans, it's also significant for the LGBTQ+ community as the character is one of Marvel's best-known canon gay characters. This further added to the excitement and anticipation for his reveal. And with fan theories speculating that Joe's Heartstopper co-star Kit Connor could join the Marvel universe as Wiccan's love interest, Hulking, Joe couldn't help but gush about the possibility. "I'd love it if Kit was in the MCU," he shared. "I love working with him, but I'm pretty sure that's just a baseless rumor."
While Wiccan's identity has now been officially revealed, there is still so much more to discover about his character and his journey. With four episodes left in the season, fans can't wait to see where the series will take him. Agatha All Along drops a new episode every Thursday, and the first five episodes are available to stream now. So buckle up and get ready for more jaw-dropping twists and turns in this Marvel masterpiece.
