Agatha All Along’s Aubrey Plaza Rumored to Return as Lady Death

Aubrey Plaza may be returning to the MCU as Death, according to a new rumor. The Agatha All Along star originally portrayed the mysterious Rio Vidal, later revealed as the embodiment of Death. A recent update hints at her possible comeback and offers a glimpse into Marvel’s plans for the powerful cosmic entity.

Why Aubrey Plaza’s Lady Death could return in MCU

The report originates from Lizzie Hill’s April 2025 Q&A on The Cosmic Circus, where she stated, “We’ve heard she’ll be back,” when asked about Plaza’s character Rio Vidal and her potential return after the Disney+ series finale.

Plaza debuted in Agatha All Along as Rio Vidal and later revealed herself as the embodiment of Death. The series ended with her character’s death, but speculation about her survival and return has continued.

Despite her on-screen demise, Marvel reportedly plans to bring the character back, although it hasn’t officially confirmed anything. Rumors from September 2024 first suggested Marvel was considering Plaza’s return, with insider Daniel Richtman stating that she “will appear in more Marvel projects” (via Patreon).

While the report didn’t specify which titles she may join or whether her appearances would remain limited to Disney+, Plaza’s earlier comments calling her role “really pivotal” support the idea that Rio Vidal could have a larger impact on the MCU moving forward (via GQ).

In Agatha All Along, Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) led a coven on a mystical journey along the Witches Road. Teen (Joe Locke), later revealed as Billy Maximoff, confronted and defeated Death in a climactic battle. The finale ended with Agatha surrendering her physical form and becoming a spectral guide, setting up a potential sequel focused on Billy’s search for his twin brother, Tommy.

Hill’s comment supports ongoing speculation that Plaza could return in a follow-up series involving Agatha and Billy. Marvel Studios has also started filming Vision Quest, a series centered on Vision. Since Billy and Tommy are Vision’s sons in MCU canon, a crossover or Death’s reappearance in this storyline remains possible.

Plaza’s return has not been confirmed by Marvel Studios.
