Why Joe Locke"s Teen Character Can"t Say His Name In Agatha All Along

WARNING: Spoilers ahead for Agatha All Along Episodes 1 & 2
In its premiere, Agatha All Along introduces Joe Locke"s mystery Marvel character, but there"s something odd about him - he can"t seem to reveal his name or anything about his backstory to Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) or the audience. Since Locke joined the cast of Agatha All Along, there"s been rampant speculation about what character he could be playing, and whether that character might have a connection to Scarlet Witch. However, Marvel has kept mum on the subject, referring to Locke"s character simply as "Teen."
That mystery carries over into the first episodes of Agatha All Along, which see Locke"s Teen try to introduce himself to Agatha, only for the visual effects of a string sewing his mouth shut to appear and his voice to be drowned out. Later on in episode 2, Agatha asks him about himself, but when he begins to tell her, his voice fades out. She snaps her fingers and turns up the radio, deducing that her hearing isn"t affected. It"s that Teen"s identity and details about him are being concealed. So what"s going on?
Joe Locke's Character Is Under A Spell Hiding His Identity Close All indicators point to Locke"s character being under some kind of spell, one that he"s unaware of. When his mouth is covered and his voice is muffled, he doesn"t seem to be aware - he doesn"t react or give any indication he knows Agatha can"t hear him. Further, the appearance of the string sewing his mouth shut and the way his voice turns into white noise while no other sounds are affected indicate magic is being used. These kinds of things don"t happen naturally, even in the MCU. All evidence points to magic, which means it"s some kind of spell.
Why Teen's Identity Is Hidden What"s not revealed in Agatha All Along"s first two episodes is why Locke"s character"s identity is hidden, but that sets up a mystery for the first season to explore. Like WandaVision, Agatha All Along has a mystery box element for viewers to puzzle over, and in this case it"s who Teen really is within the MCU. It"s possible that his identity will be important to the plot of the show later on, or to Agatha and her storyline in the series. However, those impacts and why Teen"s identity has been hidden may not be revealed until after the show unveils his name.
Who Put The Spell On Teen? There Are A Few Possibilities Close The next part of the mystery surrounding Teen"s identity is who put the spell on him to hide his name. It might be safe to assume it wasn"t Agatha, but magic is a tricky thing. It"s possible that Agatha cast the spell on Teen and then wiped her own memory. WandaVision showed Scarlet Witch do something similar when she created the witch hex around Westview. So Agatha might have known who he was at one point, but decided to hide him from herself for some reason yet to be revealed.
Or, the spell on Locke"s character could"ve been cast by another witch, likely someone trying to protect him. Based on what we know of how Agatha is perceived by the larger witch world, she"s dangerous. It stands to reason that if Teen"s identity could compromise him in some way, someone close to him would want to protect him by hiding it. For example, his mother perhaps? (More on that in a moment.)
The only suspect we can seemingly eliminate from the list is Teen himself. Since he doesn"t seem to be aware of the spell, it doesn"t seem likely he was the one to cast it. Of course, he could be faking his unawareness. After all, Agatha spent much of WandaVision pretending she was just another neighbor to Wanda when, in fact, she was aware of the hex the whole time. Perhaps Teen is Agatha"s own nosy neighbor, and he"s protecting himself from her on his own. Whoever was responsible for casting the spell, they"ll no doubt be revealed as Agatha All Along unravels the mystery of Teen"s identity.
Our Take On What Marvel Character Joe Locke Is Actually Playing Teen's True Identity Could Explain Why He Was Spelled And Who Did It Close Since Locke was cast in Agatha All Along, the prevailing theory has been that he"s playing an older version of Scarlet Witch"s son Billy, aka Wiccan in Marvel Comics. There is some evidence to back up this theory, particularly that Locke"s Teen is a magic-wielding character who bears a resemblance to Billy Kaplan"s comics design. Additionally, Wiccan and Teen are both gay, as established in the comics and Agatha All Along episode 2. All signs seem to point to Locke playing Wiccan, but this has yet to be confirmed in Agatha All Along.
Still, it makes sense. And if Teen is Billy, then it stands to reason that Scarlet Witch cast the spell to protect his identity. After all, Agatha met both of Wanda"s sons during WandaVision, so she would recognize his name. Even if his surname was different, as it is in the comics, the same first name would be enough to trigger Agatha"s memories and make her suspicious of him. It would make sense that if Scarlet Witch was Billy"s mother she"d want to protect him from Agatha by hiding his identity from her.
Scarlet Witch died after destroying all copies of the Darkhold across the multiverse in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. At the time, she"d been looking for other versions of her children across the multiverse.
Of course, that opens up a whole host of other questions, including how Billy is alive and in the MCU when he"s not supposed to exist in the main Marvel universe, and when Scarlet Witch could"ve spelled him since she"s dead. Theories have posited Locke"s character is a version of Billy from another universe, and he"s walking the Witches" Road as a way to bring back Scarlet Witch. But so far, Agatha All Along hasn"t revealed that to be the case. So, we"ll have to wait and see who Teen turns out to be and who cast the spell to hide his identity in Agatha All Along.
