AGATHA: COVEN OF CHAOS Star Aubrey Plaza Calls Show "The Most Elevated Marvel Material"

Though a few details (some of which came from cast members themselves) have leaked out over the past few weeks, there's still a lot of mystery surrounding Marvel Studios' upcoming WandaVision spin-off, Agatha: Coven of Chaos, and Aubrey Plaza's character has arguably prompted the most speculation.

The Legion alum was asked about her imminent MCU debut during a recent interview with THR, and while she was hesitant to speak about her character, she was full of praise for the Disney+ show, hailing it as "the most elevated Marvel Material."

"'Coven of Chaos' was so fun. I wanted very much to work with Kathryn Hahn, I think she's so great. And without saying anything really, I had a blast. I loved my character in that as well, and I think it's the most elevated Marvel material that's out there. So, it was cool to jump into that world with those people specifically."

Plaza is believed to be playing the show's main antagonist, and we've heard she is (or was) a member of Agatha Harkness' coven. One pretty outlandish rumor is claiming that she will portray a version of Lady Death.

If Plaza is playing a villain, she'll have plenty of backup. Salem's Seven are also expected to make their debut in Coven of Chaos, with Okwui Okpokwasili (The Interpreter) leading the team (most likely as Vertigo).

In the comics, these guys were the children of Nicholas Scratch (making them Agatha's grandchildren). They were magically-powered humans who had the ability to transform into animal hybrid/demonic creatures.

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.)

@Midnaslament - If only this were a backdoor sequel to Legion. That show changed me forever...

@UncleHarm1 - I would watch if this was connected to Legion, I loved that show. Not watching a show about Agatha though, I have negative interest in that.

@WarMonkey - I am certainly stumped as to why Agatha, but I like Kathryn Hahn and Aubrey Plaza. Like all the Disney+ shows I'll wait until the whole thing is out and torrent it, put it on a hard drive and forget to watch it for 6 months. I hear Andor is good.

I won't lie, she's sold me on it. One ticket sold.
Oh it's TV? Well then I guess it doesn't matter, either way they're [frick]ed.

That is a particular kind of praise considering she starred in Noah Hawley's Legion years ago.

I expect Josh to be just as harsh on this as he was on the flash, since this is on a similar level to "best comic book movie ever".

This is such garbage, I have zero interest 🙄. This is like batgirl, should never have been made and should be canceled. Secret invasion is the least watched 👀 show right now, I haven't watched it yet and this, I will not, it will tank. No one knows the characters, so many better stories in marvel, like Echo, should never have been made. Marvel needs to pay attention to the fans and the comic source material. If not, it will become the dcu.

@cubichy - "This is like batgirl, should never have been made"

Why? Because you don't like the character? Millions do. No one gives a [frick] what you want.

@BigPhilbowski - dude,not my first rodeo...I know and get it. My overall point is that the majority of mcu fans do not like or support this story line and should never have been made cause it will tank. It's called reading 📚 comprehension, they teach it in elementary school. Anyway, that's why dcu tanked and MCU is going in same direction, crappy storied with unknown characters. No one read about Agatha or care about her. It's a tertiary character, you may have to Google the word.

@cubichy - Yes, who would want a sequel to the first and, arguably, best MCU D+ show?

@DocSpock - I liked WandaVision but yeah don't need a Agatha Disney Plus show.

I wanna believe her but Marvel has been on such a decline post-Endgame that it’s kind of too depressing to even get excited about anything since the odds of it actually reaching the levels of Phase 3 is minimal at best.

Would love to be wrong though!

Meh. Just interested for Plaza. Parks and Recreation made me a fan.
