Agatha All Along Featurette Teases New Marvel Monsters
Monsters guard the Witches' Road at every turn.
Agatha All Along is teasing some of the Marvel monsters coming in the Disney+ series. On social media, Marvel Studios posted a new clip of the demons that haunt the Witches' Road. The red one from the trailer gets top billing, but there are multiple threats for Kathryn Hahn's coven to best on their journey. Agatha All Along producer Mary Livanos said, "We really wanted to be authentic to old Hollywood filming techniques."
That kind of tactile feel was looked at as a plus by the brass at Marvel Studios. Horror has become increasingly prevalent in the company's output. Just recently, Marvel Television's head, Brad Winderbaum, told EW that breaking into that genre has happened organically. It's not like there was some edict to go out there and bring ghouls to the screen. But, a lot of the spookier elements of the MCU have drawn rave reviews.
"I think that it goes back to the filmmaker's intent," Winderbaum told EW. "The horror on screen in Agatha is going to be different than the horror on screen in Marvel Zombies, is going to be different than the horror on screen in Blade. It was different than the horror on screen in Moon Knight. It really depends on the vision of the filmmaker on what horror cues you're pulling from. And that's not just unique to horror. It's unique to any genre we're playing with. Obviously, there's many different ways to tell a story."
