It was for Agatha, which filmed in Georgia and she didn't want to come to America.

Margolyes noted how she rejected Marvel's offer of signing on for a four-month production schedule in Georgia. Margolyes did not name the project, but it was likely Agatha, the WandaVision spinoff series, as she said it involved "witches." That series was filmed in Georgia for about four months in 2023.
"They contacted me and said, ‘We’re doing a story about witches.’ I thought, ‘Oh god, not witches again, because I’ve done that with Harry Potter.’ I don't like America and I didn’t want to be in Georgia for four months," Margolyes said. "So I just said, 'Well, I want a million pounds (A$1.9 million)' and they said, 'You can have half a million,' and I said, 'No, I don't want to do it,' so it just stopped."
