:0:1

WARNING: This article includes SPOILERS from Agatha All Along episode 3.The Agatha All Along showrunner opens up about the Marvel Cinematic Universe TV show name-dropping Mephisto.
In an interview with Total Film, Agatha All Along creator Jac Schaeffer was asked about the MCU finally establishing that Mephisto exists in the franchise. Schaeffer made it clear that it was a nod to the many theories that sparked during her first MCU show, WandaVision, as she shared the following:

That was a nod, definitely, yes. [...] So the fan theories themselves don"t inform like the actual plotting that I do or that Marvel does either. It"s really more, I like to think about what is the thing people are engaging on? Like, what is the thing that"s sort of lighting them up? And is it the thing that"s lighting me up? That"s where I feel that I"m successful and my team is successful, when we can find that sweet spot of we are excited about it, it"s making our brains tingle, and making us want to dress up, but it’s also having that effect on fans.

Schaeffer also spoke with Entertainment Weekly and teased what the MCU may have in store for Mephisto, following his Easter egg in Agatha All Along. While stressing that Mephisto has an involvement with Agatha in the lore, Schaeffer added the following:

With these shows, so often there is something that is at once a joke and a wink and a nod, and actually has something legitimate underneath. As we all know, Mephisto is a character who"s very wrapped into Agatha"s storyline. I mean, people have to watch, but we"re always playing with the audience in that way.
