Our first look at Agatha All Along, courtesy of Empire Magazine:

As you’ll see above in our exclusive first-look image, Agatha All Along will see Harkness joined by “a disparate, mixed bag of witches” – including Patti LuPone’s Lilia, Sasheer Zamata’s Jennifer, Debra Jo Rupp’s Sharon, and Ali Ahn’s Alice. “What they have in common is that they’re covenless witches,” Schaeffer tells Empire. “Witches are defined by deception, treachery, villainy and selfishness. What do you do when you have a group of witches who [demonstrate] those notions and you need them to work together?” A whole bunch of chaos magic, you’d expect.​
While details about the show are largely being held under a magical seal, it’s been reported that ‘Agatha All Along’ songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez have penned fresh ditties – and the show, according to its creator, will riff on all kinds of witchy lore. “[Where] WandaVision played with the form of classic TV sitcoms, [here] we do a lot of playing with what the assumptions about witches are,” Schaeffer explains. “Like, what are the shorthand visuals for witches?” But, expect, too, to find some of the emotion that permeated WandaVision. “We certainly didn’t want a one-dimensional nasty witch,” says Schaeffer. “We will have moments where we see Agatha’s true heart.” Maybe it won’t be entirely pitch-black after all.​

Curiously, both the photograph and the excerpt reveal that Debra Jo Rupp's Sharon is also a witch, something I hadn't seen suggested before. Considering we already knew other Westview residents were returning, I hadn't considered this possibility because I figured Sharon was just along for the ride along with the other residents. But now she looks more integral to the plot.

Notably absent from the photograph is Aubrey Plaza's Rio Vidal. I need more Aubrey Plaza in this photo!

The show debuts in September so hopefully we get a trailer soon but we probably won't get one until Comic Con in early August.
 
SDCC banners for the Fantastic Four. Also apparently confirming the
Future Foundation
will play a part in the movie.

I like the retro Marvel logo design they're using for it.
Would they be far enough into production for us to get a first teaser during SDCC?
 
It sounds more like the storylines that began in S1 are what are ending, not that they won't ever do more "What If?" in the future.
 
I've absolutely loved What If...? so far. Stinks it's ending, but I can't wait to see how they wrap it up.
 
Damn, that sucks but I am glad the show is ending on a conclusive high note.

I hold out onto hope that Jeffrey Wright will appear in live action as Uatu at some point..
 
I honestly never thought that they used What If to its true potential. Stuff could get so weird in the comics, the MCU show always felt tame and a bit boring.
 
Everyone’s opinion will differ, but I personally would’ve preferred more standalone stories and less of an arc

With most of the MCU--yes. The Cap side worked well with arcs that were not about the "Biggest ever" / "everyone is involved" situations in the universe, which I appreciated.
 
I think I read somewhere that the first day of filming is the Monday after SDCC.
Oh, I thought they started filming back when they announced the cast.
I'm disappointed to hear about What If...? ending, I've been really enjoying it.
