Video transcript

Agatha All along star Katherine Hahn has revealed the Newt scene was actually her idea.

In Episode one, Agatha finds herself naked, a move that Ha pushed for, the actress said.

I thought it was good to see her as stripped down literally as we possibly could, which spoke into her powerlessness at the present moment, Ha added.

She really had nothing at that point.

And so it became about illustrating that gap between that moment and her finding her power again.

According to Variety, Catherine also made history, as this was the first time a woman has shown her bare butt in a Marvel Studios project.

Showrunner Jack Shafer claimed Agatha was actually scripted to grab her robe before running outside.

But Han didn't believe it was something Agatha would actually do, Schafer said.

Catherine was like, Would she grab the robe?

I don't feel like she would grab the robe.

I feel like she would really not care about being naked in front of the neighbours.

I told her that is the greatest idea I've ever heard.

It's so true to her character, and it makes me laugh out loud.
