AGATHA: COVEN OF CHAOS Rumored To Include MCU Debuts Of Some Massively Popular Young Avengers

A new casting call for Agatha: Coven of Chaos reveals that at least two Young Avengers may be coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and they're one of the most popular couples in all of comicdom...

Kathryn Hahn first played Agatha Harkness in WandaVision, and after failing to steal the Scarlet Witch's powers, she was trapped in Westview with no memories of her past. Or so it seemed. 

The villain will return in Disney+'s Agatha: Coven of Chaos (previously titled Agatha: House of Harkness), and it sounds like this project will be an important next chapter for the wider MCU. In casting details shared by Murphy's Multiverse, it's said that the show is looking to cast an actor, aged 17-20, to play a gay lead character. 

Described as "witty," "astute," and a "bit of a fanboy." The belief is this could be Billy Kaplan, a.k.a. Wiccan, a.k.a. Billy Maximoff in the MCU. In the comics, Billy - who grew up with another family unaware that he was the Scarlet Witch's son - was such a fan of Thor that he styled himself after the God of Thunder and his fellow Asgardians when he became Wiccan.

Common sense says Tommy (who was also brought up by a different family after his soul was freed to inhabit another child) will also appear, taking on the moniker of Speed. That's yet to be confirmed. 

Most interesting, however, is the fact that Marvel Studios is looking to cast another actor aged 18-20 to play a gay male. Described as having a "kind soul" with a "great sense of humour," he's supposedly totally in love with his boyfriend and has an athletic build. That sounds an awful lot like Teddy Altman, a half-human, half-Kree teenager known as Hulkling. 

That may be three Young Avengers we see in Agatha: Coven of Chaos, and their long-overdue Earth-616 introductions mean the stage could be set for everything from Scarlet Witch to The Children's Crusade and Young Avengers

We'll have to wait and see how things pan out. This is definitely exciting, though, and the logical next step for Marvel Studios as they lay the groundwork for a new era of superheroes.

So that's mean we already have Kate, America, Cassie, Billy, Tommy Teddy and possibly Kid Loki and Eli. That's quite a roster, but one I don't expect to see soon. Unless it will be a show, but after Thunderbolts being a movie too I doubt that

Well I guess the hope that this show could lean into the new horror side of the MCU is dashed.

I'm sure they will have to include more big names - like in She-Hulk and the rumored Mephisto cameo in IronHeart - in order to get more people to tune in.

The Young Avengers and their members are not enough of a draw on their own. Secret Invasion is really the only 2023 MCU property that looks exciting as of right now.

Cautiously hopeful list - Ant Man 3, GOTG 3, Loki S2, X-Men 97

Interesting. Never really thought they could go the route of having Billy and Tommy inhabit the bodies of other kids. Would be an interesting way of tying Agatha to Wanda and possibly create an en route for Wanda to appear. Also could align with a timeline for the actual actors to age up but it sounds like they'll want them played by even older actors. Saw an insider say that if people loved WWBN they'll love this, so it sounds like they are going to get deeper into the weirdness of Agatha we only briefly saw in WandaVision

Are they really going to give us both Hulkling and Skaar? Maybe Twitter was wrong about Skaar replacing Hulkling. I hope so.

@EMagnusPhoenix - never understood the appeal of these 2. I tried getting into the comic and then the show and neither hooked me.

Erm Hulkling is not half human half kree he is half kree half skrull. Where did you think he got his shapeshifting from ?

@TUD -
Once it's adapted, nobody will watch it. People beg for representation but don't actually support it financially when it occurs so it flops and then the franchise either goes down in flames or returns to its roots.

@Scarilian - Yeah, just like what happened with Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and Shang-Chi.

Oh, wait....

Well if this is true then that kinda kills my idea from a previous post where I said that I thought the Marvel could be setting up Skaar as a replacement for Hulkling because this (Hulkling's) background was too complicated for the GA. BUT, considering the that his relationship with Billy in the comics is a pretty big deal I guess that I can see why they would want to introduce Teddy and have them be a couple, as Skaar clearly wouldn't fill that role. And I suppose that by the time they introduce Teddy the GA is pretty well acquainted with Skrulls, the Kree, etc., so it wouldn't be too much of a reach. I'll bet, though, that they just call him "Teddy" and not "Hulkling" to avoid confusion.
