Marvel Is Already Telling You The Next Big MCU Death Is Coming

:0:1

Marvel may have already revealed the next big death in the MCU in Agatha All Along. Agatha Harkness" solo series opened with two episodes that concluded with Agatha and her cobbled-together coven venturing down the Witches" Road, setting the main narrative thread in motion. Meanwhile, many questions loom over such details as Agatha"s relationship with Rio Vidal, the fate of the Scarlet Witch, and the identity of Joe Locke"s Teen, whose attempts to elaborate on himself have been seemingly blocked by a spell.
The end of Agatha All Along episode 2 saw the coven open the door to the Witches" Road just as the Salem Seven descended on Agatha"s Westview residence. Each of the coven"s members has an express reason to tread the Witches" Road, which will grant successful travelers their greatest desire, save for Sharon Davis, whose presence was shoehorned by Agatha in her attempt to avoid Rio Vidal. To enter the road, the coven had to chant a song that has now become a central talking point for the show for one important reason.
The Ballad Of The Witches Road Explains Agatha's Plot Things Do Not Look Good For One Coven Member Close The songwriters for the Agatha All Along ballad, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, divulged ahead of the show"s release that "The Ballad of the Witches" Road" is a road map for what is to come in the series. This has already begun to unfurl as the first four lines describe the assembled Agatha All Along coven:

"Seekest thou the road
To all that"s foul and fair
Gather sisters fire
Water, earth and air"

In this instance, the alchemist Jennifer Kale is associated with water, the blood witch Alice Wu-Gulliver is fire, and diviner Lilia Calderu is associated with air. While the element of earth should probably connect with the green witch Rio Vidal, Sharon Davis" green thumb was ostensibly sufficient in granting them access to the Witches" Road nonetheless. The remaining lyrics are as follows:

Darkest hour, wake thy power
Earthly and divine
Burn and brew with coven true
And glory shall be thine
[Chorus]
Down, down, down the road
Down the witches" road
Down, down, down the road
Down the witches" road
Down, down, down the road
Down the witches" road
Circle sewn with fate
Unlock thy hidden gate
[Verse 2]
Marching ever forward
"Neath the wooded shrine
I stray not from the path
I hold death"s hand in mine
Primal night, giveth sight
Familiar by thy side
If one bе gone, we carry on
Spirit as our guide
[Chorus]
Down, down, down thе road
Down the witches" road (Down the witches" road)
Down, down, down the road (Down the witches" road)
Down the witches" road (Down the witches" road)
Down, down, down the road (Down the witches" road)
Down the witches" road (Down the witches" road)
Blood and tears and bone
Maiden, Mother, Crone
[Verse 3]
The road is wild and wicked
Winding through the wood
Where all that"s wrong is right
And all that"s bad is good
Through many miles of tricks and trials
We"ll wander high and low
Tame your fears, a door appears
The time has come to go
[Chorus]
Down, down, down the road (Down, down, down, down)
Down the witches" road (Down the witches" road)
Down, down, down the road (Down the witches" road)
Down the witches" road (Down the witches" road)
Down, down, down the road (Down the witches" road)
Down the witches" road (Down the witches" road)
Follow me, my friend
To glory at the end

Subsequent lines to the song are now a huge focal point as they seem to detail what will happen next. This will ostensibly culminate in "glory at the end," though not without a significant number of stumbling blocks. While some lines are open to interpretation, however, a couple are pretty transparent - and it is here that Marvel has shown that death is already en route for one of Agatha"s coven.
One Line In Agatha's New Song Is Very Ominous The Ballad Heralds The Death Of One Member The second verse will be where the coven picks up in Agatha All Along episode 3. While the "Wooded shrine" presumably refers to the forested Witches" Road itself, references to "Primal night," "Death"s hand," and "Familiar" are less clear. Yet it is in the penultimate line of the verse that "The Ballad of the Witches" Road" has revealed in no uncertain terms that one of the coven will die, reading "If one be gone, we carry on." The line suggests that one of them will "Be gone," AKA dead, while the remaining coven persists.
The "Familiar" could be a reference to Teen after Agatha referred to him as such in episode 2, or Agatha"s rabbit, Señor Scratchy.
The fact that the line comes in the second verse means that this death is probably quite imminent within the show. Whether it occurs in episode 3 remains to be seen, but there is at least a big clue hidden this time in the show"s credits. Taken with yet more evidence outside the show, viewers have started to deduce which of the coven is about to face the chopping block.
How Agatha's Credits Hint At Marvel's Next Big Death Debra Jo Rupp Appears With A Particular Kind Of Flower Close As the Agatha All Along credits roll, each of the main cast"s names are accompanied by certain images that are quite telling. While most seem relatively intuitive, such as Kathryn Hahn appearing next to the Wicked Witch of the West, Debra Jo Rupp - who portrays Sharon Davis - appears next to some white lilies. While these arguably represent Davis" green thumb, it"s hard to ignore that white lilies in particular typically symbolize death. Of all the flowers that could have been used, the lilies seem pretty flagrant for this reason.

Another outlier, however, is Joe Locke"s name, which appears next to a "Near Death in Westview" headline. While this feels a little more on-the-nose, Joe Locke"s Teen is unlikely to be marked for death for a few reasons - most notable of which being his centrality to the plot. Setting up the mystery of his identity only to kill him off a couple of episodes later would be nonsensical. With that in mind, Davis seems like a far more likely candidate.
It is also worth noting that Joe Locke"s character was run over by Sharon Davis in Westview, thereby being "Near death" since he was near Davis at the time.
This is a sentiment that viewers are both agreed upon and concerned about.
@VintageEpiphany, for example, pointed out that Davis is conspicuously absent from much of the promotional material. This is especially evident in scenes that include Rio Vidal, whose presence on the Witches" Road in the trailer comes with the absence of Sharon Davis, suggesting that she will replace the Green Witch stand-in.
Users like @gaeulbeen, meanwhile, have been sharing concerns that Sharon is about to meet a sticky end, thanks to her immense likability so far.
A wilder theory shared by @inthashadowz suggests that Sharon Davis is actually Mephisto - a character rumored to be at least mentioned in Agatha All Along. This theory follows from the theory that Sharon is, in fact, a shape-shifted Rio Vidal.
A reply by u/RAMcGonagall via Reddit, meanwhile, simply hopes that Sharon Davis is resurrected if she is killed off at any point as part of one of the coven"s wishes. Whatever happens, things aren"t looking great for Sharon Davis - and perhaps Agatha All Along episode 3 will be where she meets her end.
