There is not a lot of undressing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but in the first episode of Agatha All Along the main protagonist took off her clothes and for a couple of minutes we watched Kathryn Hahn naked walk out of a house, argue with her neighbor, and walk back into the house showing her bottom.

Showrunner Jac Schaeffer explained in an interview with The GATE the reasons for this choice, which is unusual for the Marvel superhero world.

“That sequence in Episode 1 where she sort of strips down… It’s the peeling back of the layers of Agatha. And so to sort externalize that and also have it be so fun because it’s all the looks you recognize from ‘WandaVision,’ but that is very much what Katherine [Hahn] and I and Marvel wanted to do with the show is peed back the layers of Agatha. And so, in the pilot you see that physicalized and then over the course of the show, you get that emotionally.”

In an interview with ExtraTV, actress Kathryn Hahn explained that stripping down was her idea.

“I pitched it. [laughs] I don’t know what that says about me. I thought if we’re going to start to get to the bottom of this person, let’s start with brass tacks.”
