Fans weren't too happy about it, but the WandaVision finale revealed that Evan Peters was actually an aspiring actor called Ralph Bohner. Agatha Harkness used her powers to control Wanda Maximoff and Vision's neighbour, forcing him to pose as the Marvel Cinematic Universe's version of Pietro Maximoff/Quicksilver.
It was a pretty funny, unexpected twist, but one that upset those who were hoping Evans had been plucked from the Multiverse to become the MCU's new resident speedster. That was never the plan for "Ralph," unfortunately, but it sounds like we haven't seen the last of him.
According to a new rumour doing the rounds on social media, Peters will reprise his role as Ralph alongside Kathryn Hahn's Agatha in Disney+'s upcoming spin-off series, Agatha: Coven of Chaos.
We don't have any additional details on the extent of his role, though the way the character's story ended in the WandaVision finale was undeniably rushed. With that in mind, it would be fun to find out just how aware the hapless actor was of his role in manipulating the Scarlet Witch.
It's also hard not to hope that Agatha's magic has somehow brought Pietro back, albeit in a new body. Quicksilver was sorely underutilized after a one-and-done appearance in Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Peters getting another chance in this world after playing the X-Men Universe's Variant would be welcomed.
The show's supporting cast will feature a number of familiar faces from WandaVision, including Emma Caulfield Ford (Sarah Proctor), Debra Jo Rupp (Sharon Davis), David Payton (John Collins), David Lengel (Harold Proctor), Asif Ali (Abilash Tandon), Amos Glick (Dennis), Brian Brightman (Sheriff Miller), and Kate Forbes (Evanora Harkness).
New additions include Aubrey Plaza, Joe Locke, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Okwui Okpokwasili, and Maria Dizzia.
Agatha: Coven of Choas is currently expected to premiere on Disney+ sometime in 2024.
