We now have confirmation that actress/comedian Sasheer Zamata will play sorceress Jennifer Kale in Agatha: Coven of Chaos, while there are conflicting reports about Miles Gutierrez-Riley's role...

We found out that SNL alum Sasheer Zamata (Home Economics, Moongirl and Devil Dinosaur) had joined the cast of Agatha: Coven of Chaos last year, but no details on her character were provided at the time. Now, her role has been revealed, and we have confirmation that Zamata will be playing an established Marvel Comics magic-wielder.

Zamata will make her MCU debut in the Disney+ series as powerful sorceress Jennifer Kale.

"I definitely did do as much [comic book] research as I could," she tells Mashable in an interview conducted before the SAG-AFTRA strike. "But the way we formed this character is very different from what I think people expect."

In the comics, Kale has history with a number of characters, including the likes of Man-Thing (with whom she shares a psychic connection) and Howard the Duck. How she'll be introduced in the upcoming WandaVision spin-off remains to be seen, but there's a chance she will be reimagined as a member of Agatha's coven.

In the same article, it's mentioned that Miles Gutierrez-Riley will be playing Hulkling, but this has been refuted by insider @MyTimeToShine, who believes he will actually be playing a new character named Eddie.

Coven of Chaos will focus on powerful witch Agatha Harkness, who almost managed to defeat the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) in the season finale of WandaVision before being bested and trapped in Westview in her "nosy neighbour Agnes" persona.

Though Olsen is not expected to appear, there's speculation that Wanda might have something to do with Harkness' release and/or reformation following the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Jac Schaeffer, who is under a joint overall deal with Marvel and 20th Television, will serve as writer and executive producer and will also helm multiple episodes along with Gandja Monteiro (Wednesday; The Chi) and Rachel Goldberg (Cloak & Dagger; Mayans M.C.)

🤭😅🤣🤭 I shouldn't laugh but 😅🤣

LOL, of course.
mountainman - 8/14/2023, 1:01 PM
It’s tough to say which show sounds less interesting - this, Echo, or IronHeart.
MotherGooseUPus - 8/14/2023, 1:10 PM
@mountainman - all will be bad but in order of being the biggest dumpster fire
ironheart
echo
agatha

but regardless i have very little faith or interest in any of these
tmp3 - 8/14/2023, 1:29 PM
@MotherGooseUPus - echo will almost certainly be the worst - they're literally dumping that shit ASAP lol
dracula - 8/14/2023, 1:33 PM
@mountainman - this
MotherGooseUPus - 8/14/2023, 1:33 PM
@tmp3 - probably true, but i'm hoping for the one saving grace is a kingpin and DD cameo. kind of like the only good episode of she-hulk had DD in it... and the best bobba-fett episode had mando in it

they will all surely be dogshit so it doesnt really matter haha
tmp3 - 8/14/2023, 1:37 PM
@MotherGooseUPus - Those 3 projects sound like the nightmare universe scenario of our 2023 hype list lmfao. OT but do you have any movies you're hyped for in 2024? Looks a little dry rn, so I guess for me it's just Nosferatu/Mickey17/Furiosa rn but hopefully more projects are unveiled soon-ish
mountainman - 8/14/2023, 2:26 PM
@MotherGooseUPus - It seems like they have no faith in Echo based on the whole season drop. I bet they will market the hell out of the Daredevil and Kingpin cameos to drum up interest.

You’re probably right that Agatha has the most potential to be interesting, but I just don’t care.

Patiently hoping that this stuff can get good again. Maybe Loki season 2 can give us something interesting.
MotherGooseUPus - 8/14/2023, 2:40 PM
@tmp3 - haha seriously, the stuff of nightmare fuel, which is not good.

Depends what happens with Dune2, but if Dune2 stays in 2023, right the only movie i want to see in 2024 is "Godzilla x Kong" and pending on what i hear/see, Furiosa could climb onto my list (Fury road was sooooooooo damn good). But yea, 2024 looks very bleak at the moment
MotherGooseUPus - 8/14/2023, 2:50 PM
@mountainman - Loki S2 is the ONLY thing i'm looking forward to from the MCU in 2023 and 2024... now that is sad
Urubrodi - 8/14/2023, 1:01 PM
Whatever at this point

I'm sure that if I gave a damn about these characters, there might be a decent chance that I wouldn't be very enthusiastic about these castings, but I don't, and they're part of a show that I'm not particularly looking forward to, so whatever.
TheyDont - 8/14/2023, 1:50 PM
@Fares - Ha, same here. The casting looks shit, but at this point I just don't care.
DocSpock - 8/14/2023, 1:08 PM


Could this sh!t get any more stupid or worse at this point?

My penis can only get so NOT erect.

CapA - 8/14/2023, 1:11 PM
The side-by-side is brutal. You don't race swap Spider-Man, you create Miles Morales.
dragon316 - 8/14/2023, 1:22 PM
@CapA - marvel did race swap valkery and kang no one gave crap
Matador - 8/14/2023, 1:32 PM
@dragon316 - Technically they killed off white valkery so they made us accept lesbian king valkery and Kang that's for the jury to decide.
CapA - 8/14/2023, 1:37 PM
@dragon316 - It's the stupid/lazy pattern that's problematic. Examples of race-swapped characters people gave a crap about are numerous : Ariel, Wonderman, Heimdall, Starfire, Electro, Batgirl, MJ, etc.
Mugens - 8/14/2023, 2:11 PM
@Matador - Exactly. It was Brunhilda, the "white" Valkyrie that took the proverbial bullet for the current King who was her sister in the Valkyrie corps. One of the few things I noticed right away during that flashback scene.
ClintThaHamster - 8/14/2023, 3:14 PM
@CapA - People definitely pretended to care about Heimdall, it's true.
marvel72 - 8/14/2023, 5:19 PM
@dragon316 - Oh they did, I would say no one gave a shit about Hiemdall but that was early days of Marvel before it went full woke.
MotherGooseUPus - 8/14/2023, 1:12 PM
Arnod - 8/14/2023, 1:15 PM
Okay, I will say what everyone is thinking.

Why did you turn her black? what is the point. Answwer me that. It is pointless, and stupid. What a slap in the face
Cyclonus - 8/14/2023, 1:25 PM
@Arnod - Exactly. I'm black and I couldn't do nothing but laugh when I saw that. This is getting silly and pointless now.
NegativeNerd - 8/14/2023, 1:52 PM
@Arnod - because they don't want a white-ass cast. You probably never even cared or heard of Jennifer Kale, so it's your fake outrage for me lol.
NegativeNerd - 8/14/2023, 1:52 PM
@Cyclonus - lmao you're not black
Cyclonus - 8/14/2023, 1:25 PM
Phase 5 is starting to look like a joke now
Matador - 8/14/2023, 1:35 PM
@Cyclonus - Rent is due where's my energon?
IronMan616 - 8/14/2023, 1:26 PM
LMAO. Wow Marvel really has turned to shit huh. What a time to be alive, I remember when Marvel movie news was always exciting and met with glee, now, it's depressing and all anyone can do is laugh.
IronMan616 - 8/14/2023, 1:28 PM



The resemblance is uncanny!! Bravo Marvel.
TheyDont - 8/14/2023, 1:52 PM
@IronMan616 - They simply chose the best talent.
Urubrodi - 8/14/2023, 2:21 PM
@TheyDont - Right because there are no blonde young actresses right there that could pull off the complexity of this character.
TheyDont - 8/14/2023, 3:00 PM
@Urubrodi - A blonde actress? Don't make me laugh. That's not how casting works.
IronMan616 - 8/14/2023, 4:10 PM
@TheyDont - Best talent? Suuuuure. Keep telling yourself that.
