“There is a lot of pageantry we’re already competing with. Like Beatrice and Benedick, the heroes of Restoration comedy are critical of social norms and contemptuous of the artificialities of wooing. In 1934, Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert brought Beatrice and Benedick onto the big screen. That’s one of the great things about the show.
Whether the work is a Restoration comedy (The Way of the World by William Congreve), a Georgian novel (Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice) or a 20th century Hollywood film (too many to count), the fascination with these archetypal characters has spanned centuries. It’s really nice to just have these positive queer characters."
Meanwhile, Ali Ahn, who plays Alice, put it a little more simply.
Aside from Locke, Agatha All Along boasts an almost entirely female-identifying cast. Warring and wooing, Beatrice and Benedick’s presence is felt across the ages.

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, June 25, officially threw its support behind proposed legislation that would establish a California LGBTQ+ Commission.
Assembly Bill 3031 would create a commission “that represents California’s diverse LGBTQ+ community and shines a light on the unique challenges that LGBTQ+ people face,” according to a motion by Supervisors Lindsey Horvath and Hilda Solis.
The proposed commission would advise the state Legislature and governor on policy matters, collect data, review and assess programs, and provide recommendations that respond to the needs of the LGBTQ+ community, according to the motion.
The motion calls California a “national leader” in the fight for LGBTQ+ civil rights, having passed laws that protect gender-affirming care, expanded inclusive education and anti-discrimination protections that include sexual orientation and gender identity.
In June last year, the board adopted a motion by Supervisors Solis and Janice Hahn to create an LGBTQ+ Commission in Los Angeles County, which recently held its first meeting.
Similar efforts have been made by local governments like city of West Hollywood’s Lesbian and Gay Advisory Board, which was reconstituted as the LGBTQ+ Commission in 2022.
Both of these things are practically unheard of for an MCU property, and that's notable for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, it's encouraging that a franchise so associated with typically masculine power fantasies (MCU heroes are frequently kings, super-soldiers, and CEOs) is putting its money and creative heft behind such a femme-coded series.
In June alone, 490 such bills have been proposed, according to the motion.
