After going through the strikes, multiple name changes, and several release delays, it seems like things are slowly coming back on track for Marvel’s Agatha: Darkhold Diaries. The upcoming Disney+ series went into development back in 2021. However, it took almost a year to create a strong buzz among MCU fans, thanks to its cast members. Among all the acting talents in the series, the name that took everyone by surprise was Aubrey Plaza. And yes, we have managed to dig up her first look from the show.
Aubrey Plaza joined Darkhold Diaries in November 2022. Ever since her addition to Jac Schaeffer’s creation, Marvel fans have come up with numerous theories regarding her character in the show. Not long ago, the studio disclosed that Plaza would portray Rio Vidal, an ill-famed witch in Harkness and Calderu’s coven. She also happens to be Agatha’s ex-lover. Considering her outstanding acting talent and performances, we should expect her to spice things up in the show. In addition, she has developed a strong fanbase, who could watch Darkhold Diaries just because of Plaza.
Check out Plaza’s first look from Agatha: Darkhold Diaries!
This look emerged in the recent series’ featurette dropped by Marvel. Apart from Plaza and Kathryn Hahn, the clip also shows Patti LuPone and Joe Locke.
Aubrey Plaza’s Rio Vidal is not a comic book character. It means we cannot connect her character to any Marvel comic book storyline. Her character was designed especially for Darkhold Diaries. Apart from the info mentioned above, we know that Rio Vidal also goes by the name of the Green Witch.
The oversaturation of MCU’s Disney+ projects and the dilemma of fan fatigue may adversely impact the viewership of Agatha: Darkhold Diaries. Let’s see how the show deals with this scenario. It is expected to premiere in September 2024. Stay tuned for more updates.
