Kathryn Hahn and Joe Locke together is combo I didn’t know I needed this badly Thanks Marvel😭

[@user-xz9vk2el1d]

I love the love they've got for each other. Such a cute already iconic duo

[@easilyoffended7772]

And I was in this audience

[@CCRRJJ]

Honestly, I can see Kathryn Hahn playing a character in Heartstopper. In another universe, she could've been Charlie or Nic's mom.

[@user-qs9zm2wo1t]

Joe's career trajectory continues to blow my mind. Coming from the tiny IoM with no professional acting experiences but a raw shining talent, insane work ethic and a will and wish to fulfill, debuting on stage and screen in the same year, nominated and awarded for both .... from Netflix to Marvel, from off West End to Broadway... aged 20 now. I'm so happy to see his star rise high and higher! Joe, we are so proud of you.

[@Sonnettt]

There are soo many actors that get unrecognized, but when they do, they will shine 💁

I know. There was a comment earlier that said he was Irish, which is why I said Isle of Man. I guess they deleted it. He's both Manx and British, but I'm sure he'd say he's Manx, given they're a somewhat autonomous region. But definitely not Irish, ad that's a completely sovereign country. Sorry for any confusion. 😀

Keeping secrets is never easy, especially in this day and age. Looking forward to seeing Kathryn and Joe together when Agatha premieres in September!

I still remember posting "Agatha of Westview" to his IG stories on his 1st day of filming, with him being so excited, and then deleting it. Then I thought he got told off but maybe it was part of the marketing strategy...👀

Literally never clicked into a video faster Joe Locke looks sO gOOd in Agatha All Along💙😭 My only wish now is for Marvel to cast Kit Connor as Hukling too so they can be lovers on the big screen once again💚🍁

[@user-qs9zm2wo1t]

Let's for now just appreciate Joe as our mysterious goth-emo teen and everything that may happen in the future, may happen or not.

[@ladykiller1978]

Nah let Joe have this thing for himself. That’s HIS accomplishment. I love Kit but not everything has to be about him, he has his own projects and I don’t see people wanting Joe to be involved in them

[@MattheusSantos-sf3zb]

Would a dream be the Teddy's kit and face 😮‍💨🤌

[@josephvanderhoff26]

Same here I agree but I think he’s supposed to have a boyfriend in the show possibly hulking. They had casting calls for characters that fit Wiccan and hulking characters a couple of years ago ❤
