Its safe to say old and new fans alike have been blown away by her breathtaking performance.
Collider got the chance to do a deep-dive into Episode 7 with LuPone.
Episode 7 is one of my favorite episodes I’ve seen in a very long time.
PATTI LUPONE: I don’t know whether I kept it straight in my head.
I was worried about that.
I wished that I was a better reader, and I told that to Jac Schaeffer, the creator.

It was all there.
I sawWandaVision, and I had a hard time pulling that together, too.
But that’s part of her genius.

One aspect of her genius is that ability to create the puzzle.
I just wasn’t successful in connecting the dots as a reader.
I think I’m being very critical of myself, but you always want to do better.

Well,Ithink it was definitely successful, in my opinion as a viewer.
[Pumps fists] Thank you.
One line that I really loved was when Lilia tells Jen, You’re my sister in the craft.
Agatha Harkness, following the events of “WandaVision,” embarks on a quest to reclaim her lost powers. Teaming up with unlikely allies, including the son of her former enemy, she faces new mystical threats while navigating a complex world of magic and intrigue.
Those barriers, those blocks, and those walls are crumbling to let somebody in again.
I think the power of you’re mysisterin thecraft isshe’s embracing her power as a witchand her witchness.
She sees her power.
All of that stuff is starting to come into play and come into her mind in a clearer way.
Its a fantastic character to play because of the pieces that are there.
How do I, as an actor, play that?
[Makes sobbing noises]
It makes me want to cry every time I think about it!
How many of us can say, I love me.
You know what I mean?
How many of us can say, I’m perfectly happy with who I am?
[Laughs]
A little background cameo!
Just in the background, you see Lilia.
[Laughs]
Just through the window again.Incredible.
I’m just already thinking about mortalitybecause of my age, you know what I mean?
But no, I didn’t.
I’m already thinking of it.
For the younger kids, maybe they were thinking about it.
Maybe Joe was thinking about it, maybe Aubrey was thinking about it, but for me?
[Shrugs]
Fair enough.
I think Lilia accepts the fact that she’s the matriarch.
She could be the wisest because she has the years behind her.
The fact that a mother wants to kill a child?
It’s sort of anatural instinct to protect.
We’re not as bad as she is, so our instinct is to protect.
Agatha All Along Let Patti LuPone Fulfill This Lifelong Dream
Someone needs to.
She’s had a long, long life.
You have had an incredible career, obviously, from the stage to the screen.
[Throws arms up] Fly!
But she didn’t fly high enough!
[Laughs] Im kidding.
No, Im not kidding about that Ive always wanted to fly.
I love the fact that I’m being introduced to more people in the Marvel world.
I think thats great.
Youve been mentioning the stunts and the flying.
Was there one scene that was most fun for you to get to film in this?
The 70s in the recording studio was fun.
I was so lucky that they called.
I had a blast every time I was on the set.
I can’t favor one over the other.
I was just so happy to be among that cast and that crew and those creators.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Probably the Witches Road when we were being chased by the Salem Seven.
I would think probably some of the stuff on the Witches Road.
You know,the Witches Road got us sick.
[Laughs] We had to stop production for them to figure out what was going on.
It was all organic.
It was the most beautiful set I have ever seen in my life.
I cried when I saw it.
I think there’s footage of us walking onto the Witches Road going, Oh my god.
That’s so funny.
I did see the video they released of everyone walking onto it.
It was so powerful.
I started to cry!
I just could not believe what I was seeing.
Kudos to the production designer and all of his artisans who worked alongside him.
Some of the work on the Witches Road was tough.
You know,the mud was chocolate pudding.
Let’s talk about the chocolate pudding that was disgusting!
That’s a lot to have to act with the chocolate pudding, for sure.
What does Lilia listen to?
I think she would probably listen toSicilian folk songs.
That’d be interesting to find.
The wind, the rain, the water.
The other thing that’s so interesting to me is the definition of witch.
What is a witch?
She is an Earth mother.
She is someone who understood that digging into the earth was the healing power and how they healed.
Those women used everything that the universe gave them.
Agatha All Alongis available to stream on Disney+.
