It’s no secret thatAgatha All Alongis hands-down the most queer-friendly Marvel show to date.

“I’m obsessed with Mariko [Emmy-winner Anna Sawai] and Anjin-san [Cosmo Jarvis] fromShogun.
I just want to live inside of that sexy relationship.
It’s so fun.
I don’t feel like I am intentionally like ‘this is for the fandoms or shippers.’

As far as Agatha herself, “she is a drag queen,” the showrunner continues.
“She is a performer more than anything else.
She is constantly wearing masks.
She’s constantly putting on identities.
It is my deepest hope that it is embraced as the love letter that it is.”
“I’m so proud,” Hahn agrees in a separate conversation with EW.
They’re a huge part of these movies in this genre’s audience, so it just makes sense.
And also, it makes it that more rich.”
Agatha All Alongrolls out on Disney+ every Wednesday night at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.
