In the golden era of cinema, attention loving witch Agatha Harkness moves to Hollywoodland for her latest play. She wants the power of Tiamut, the Celestial being buried in the core of the Earth, but she needs Hollywood’s production values. While starring in a picture directed by Howard Stark, Agatha plans to use a magic ritual to access Tiamut and take its power for herself.

But even with the stolen power of many of the Eternals, Agatha’s ritual fails. She has one last chance, as she invites Bollywood’s hottest star, Kingo, to co-star with her in the picture. Agatha knows he’s the final Eternal and will use the opportunity to steal his power and complete her ritual.

After a Hollywood vs Bollywood movie showdown, Kingo reveals he knows what Agatha wants but is convinced to help her when Agatha says she’s doing it to save the world.

They convince Howard and his put-upon assistant Edwin Jarvis to restage the finale of the picture at the Griffith Observatory. Agatha succeeds in taking the power of Tiamut, but her actions draw the attention of the Prime Celestial, Arishem. He comes to earth from across the galaxy to confront Agatha but with her enormous power the now celestial Witch absorbs his power and kills him too.

Agatha reveals her true intention was to take all of the power for herself. But Kingo convinces her that the true way to change the world is to make movies and gain the adoration she seeks from her adoring public. Agatha relents and attends the premiere of their completed picture “Cosmic Queen”.

But as the Watcher closes out his tale three more Celestials are on their approach to locate Agatha Harkness. Who doesn’t like cliff-hangers?
