Halloween isn’t over just yet. Aubrey Plaza has joined the cast of Agatha: Coven Of Chaos, the WandaVision spinoff centered on the powerful witch played by Kathryn Hahn, per Variety.
While pretty much anyone who knows anything about Plaza would love to see her play a witch, further details are being kept under wraps. The Parks & Recreation actor has previously appeared in the wider Marvel world and was part of the cast of Legion, FX’s X-Men series that was made before Disney acquired Fox and the right to use mutants in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds are set to reprise their roles as Wolverine and Deadpool and Patrick Stewart’s Professor X appeared in Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness, it is unclear where other previously-established characters might stand in the primary timeline.
Agatha Harkness was introduced in WandaVision as a nosy neighbor in Wanda Maximoff’s sitcom world before being revealed as a centuries-old witch who could absorb others’ magic. While she was established as an antagonist, the character is not necessarily a villain in the comics and has been an ally to heroes like the Fantastic Four.
Though little is known about Agatha: Coven Of Chaos so far, Emma Caulfield Ford shared that she would also be reprising her role from WandaVision last month. Variety also recently reported that Heartstopper’s Joe Locke had signed on to the series, and fans have been speculating that he plays an aged-up version of Wanda’s son Billy, another elite magic user.
Plaza has been on a hot streak this year. Along with appearing in the films Emily The Criminal and Spin Me Round, she voiced the mother of the antichrist in FXX’s animated series Little Demon. She can currently be seen as part of the new ensemble of The White Lotus.

Oh yo an actual reason to watch this one
Damn, no actor is safe from the MCU
You make it sound like someone’s putting a gun to their head and demanding they take these parts.
That’s the joke dummy
I make it sound like I’m disappointed to see Plaza join these things.
Yeah, Aubrey Plaza in a Marvel project? That’s unpossible.
Yeah, joining a franchise that has starred Robert Redford, Angela Bassett, Michelle Pfeiffer, Michael Douglas, Chadwick Boseman, and Robert Downey Jr is a real step down for the star of Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates.
Have you considered not everybody likes Marvel? They make plenty of money but are 90% trash. And I’m not surprised she’s doing it, her agent would be an idiot if they tried to get her to not do a project that’s guaranteed to have viewers.
but are 90% trashThat sounds very scientific, and not made up at all.
Has Adele signed off on this?
No, but Adolph has, and he has 3 of the 4 letters in Adele, so there’s that.
This is cause for celebration
I have to admit I missed her work on P&R originally and this was my first real exposure to her. I look forward to anything she does at this point.
I don’t care how little sense it makes or how unlikely it would be but I hope she’s playing her Legion character in this!
We are getting closer… Pratt and Plaza are in. Adam Scott got roped into that Madame Web travesty, unfortunately.
Make Rashida the Sue Storm we need (and keep Krasinski to recreate the BETTER relationship from ‘The Office.’ That’s right. I fucking said it.)
Lowe and Poehler would be hilarious as the leads of Damage Control once Feige stops fucking around with making it a fascist paramilitary group and goes back to its comic roots. And Nick Offerman as the grumpy construction foreman from that series is perfect.
Jim O’Heir and Retta can get roles as civilians. Or hell, make Jim O’Heir the Thing and put Retta in Black Panther 3.
My God, she is aging like a Stradivarius violin. The older she gets, the sweeter the music.
Well that’s just perfect casting.

I’d love it if she played Claire Wheeler in this series.
