Uatu the Watcher first appeared in 1963's "Fantastic Four" #13, and he immediately interferes with Reed Richards and company on the moon when Red Ghost and his Super-Apes attack them. So from the get-go, we know the Watcher isn't someone who plays by the rules no matter what laws his alien race abides by. Jeffrey Wright commented on this very story when catching up with ComicBook.com and hinted how his on-screen character might follow the same sort of path.
"We'll see where he goes," Wright said of the Watcher abiding by the rules. "We'll see how dispassionate he is about all of this. But I mean the first time we see him on the moon in Fantastic Four, he finds himself in the middle of this cold war, east versus west, proxy battle. And he kicks some ass, he's awesome, man. I mean, he's not to be toyed with, The Watcher. Don't get it twisted, I'm observing until I'm not, at least in that instance. So yeah. There's some fun stuff to be had with him. We'll see where it goes."
We will see, indeed, and it looks like the Watcher isn't going to be able to help himself when it comes to interfering. In Episode 1, he steers clear of Captain Carter's (Hayley Atwell) story as she becomes the world's first super-soldier and first Avenger. Some future episodes will likely see darker and more dangerous stories that come about from different choices, thus almost forcing the Watcher to get involved. If it means more of Wright, we are totally on board with the Watcher's meddling.
