‘Agatha All Along’ Stars Kathryn Hahn, Aubrey Plaza and Joe Locke on How Queer It Is: ‘It Will Be a Gay Explosion by the End of It’
Marc Malkin Senior Editor, Culture and Events The cast and creatives behind “Agatha All Along” are celebrating the Disney+ series’ unprecedented LGBTQ representation. “I would agree with that,” Sasheer Zamata, who plays Jennifer Kale, said when told at Monday’s premiere that “Agatha” has been described as “the gayest project Marvel has ever done. “You’ll see when you watch.
Witches are queer, inherently, just because we are outcasts and set aside for many reasons. This show shows a really good representation of different types of people and that we can all use the power we have within to go forward and be great.” Joe Locke, who plays Teen, explained, “It’s got many layers and gay is one of them.
That’s one of the great things about the show. … Teen is a queer guy on the show, but it’s not the driving force, which I think is really great.
It’s really nice to just have these positive queer characters.” Kathryn Hahn, who stars as Agatha Harkness explained, “What is the most exciting thing about it is is that’s not exactly what it’s about.
