is baring all for her latest Marvel project.
The actress, 51, stripped down for the first episode of the new Disney+ series “,” a spinoff of the Marvel series “.” In the first episode, her witch character, Agatha Harkness, awakens from a spell to find herself standing in her home completely naked. She then walks out of the house to talk to a neighbor, and her rear end is shown as she turns around to leave.
In an , Hahn revealed the nude scene was her idea.
“Well, I came up with it,” she said. “I thought it was good to see her as stripped down, literally, as we possibly could, which spoke into her powerlessness at the present moment.”
, though, was apparently skeptical of the choice. In an , executive producer Jac Schaeffer said the idea that Agatha would emerge from the spell naked was in the script, but originally, she would have grabbed a robe before going outside. Hahn, though, felt the character wouldn’t take the time to get a robe and would simply leave the house nude.
“Kathryn was so up for it,” Schaeffer told the outlet. “I love it because it is so firmly based in character. It is not exploitative. It’s not sexual. It is about this witch and what her priorities are.”
Hahn also confirmed to TVLine that she did not use a body double for the scene, in which Agatha’s breasts are not visible. The moment is the first instance of female nudity in history. The franchise has previously had some male nudity, including when Thor’s butt was shown in the 2022 movie “.”
