Billy Maximoff Returns: Joe Locke and ‘Agatha All Along’ Creator on Hiding His Identity, ‘Wacky’ Fan Theories and Bringing Back [SPOILER] From ‘WandaVision’
'Agatha All Along' star Joe Locke and creator Jac Schaeffer on Episode 6: bringing Billy Maximoff back from the dead, that bar mitzvah scene and more.
The episode opens three years earlier, as a 13-year-old kid from Eastview, N.J. named William Kaplan (Locke) celebrates his bar mitzvah, on the same day that Wanda Maximoff collapsed her spell controlling the nearby town of Westview at the end of 2021’s “WandaVision.” “But more than that, I’m interested in strong justification for a mystery.” While conceiving how to drive Agatha’s story forward, Schaeffer and her writing team hit upon the fact that, in the Marvel comics, she also had a son, and that a mysterious teenage boy showing up on her doorstep could trigger that instinct inside her. Schaeffer briefly considered casting a younger actor for these scenes, but decided that would undermine the dramatic weight of watching the character the audience had experienced for the previous five episodes deal with inhabiting William’s body.
