Recent rumors have suggested that Agatha All Along‘s Rio Vidal is actually a different character in hiding. While some fans believe Aubrey Plaza’s character could be Blackheart, others have conjured outlandish theories suggesting she might even be Lady Death. Plaza’s Rio Vidal, a.k.a the Green Witch, is an old nemesis of Agatha Harkness. Moreover, she is a new character who has zero connections to comics. But has her real identity been revealed already? Here are the details.
Is Aubrey Plaza’s Rio Vidal actually Lady Death in Agatha All Along?
Marvel Studios haven’t officially confirmed Aubrey Plaza’s Rio Vidal as Lady Death.
Recent leaks and rumors have suggested that Aubrey Plaza’s Green Witch, Rio Vidal could either be Marvel’s version Blackheart, an agent of Mephisto, or perhaps even Lady Death. However, it is to be noted that this is pure conjecture based on recent hints, Marvel Studios has yet to give a word on it.
Previously, in an interview, Plaza expressed her gratitude for getting to play an MCU character. However, she also teased that there is her character’s surprising reveal which will send fans into a frenzy. Marvel Studios recently dropped a teaser hinting at Death’s reveal in upcoming episodes. In the teaser, the coven witches try to summon a spirit via the Ouija board. Agatha utters, “There’s someone here with us” and then she eventually spells D-E-A-T-H. With Plaza’s cues and the latest teaser, the upcoming episodes will likely give a verdict on Rio Vidal’s character.
Per Marvel Comics, Lady Death is a physical embodiment of Death, created by Mike Friedrich and Jim Starlin. She was first introduced in Captain Marvel #26 comics. As a cosmic being, she wields complete power over death, allowing her to kill or resurrect anybody. Other abilities also include telekinesis, immortality, shape-shifting, healing, teleportation, and more. With Rio Vidal’s abilities being familiar to Lady Death, there is a possibility of her playing the character. The audience should still wait for an official confirmation.
