The rumors are true, and fans are going to be more stoked than ever for the upcoming WandaVision spinoff series Agatha: Coven of Chaos. Obviously, the show will bring back Kathryn Hahn as Agatha Harkness, and Emma Caulfield Ford has also confirmed she’ll be reprising her WandaVision role as Dottie. Just recently, it was also reported that Joe Locke had joined the series, suggesting that the cast is currently taking shape.

The Illuminerdi has since reported that Parks and Recreation and Emily the Criminal star Aubrey Plaza has landed a role in the series as well. The news was soon after corroborated by Deadline. No details are shared about the role she’d be playing, but this marks Plaza’s debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, something many fans have been calling for dating back several years.

Aubrey Plaza Recently Addressed the Possibility of Joining the MCU

Plaza lent some credence to the rumors of her MCU casting when recently asked about the possibility of coming into the superhero universe. In an interview with The Movie Dweeb, Plaza was told how there were many people wanting to see her in the MCU. She was asked directly if she would ever be joining the MCU, and using a tone that suggests she’s holding back on some information, Plaza said:

“Yes… sure… why not? What, no, I don’t even know what you’re talking about.”

Plaza pointed out that she was in Legion, which was based on Marvel Comics characters but not technically part of the MCU. She made it clear that she wouldn’t turn down the chance to come into that world, though she couldn’t confirm that it would happen. As it turns out, Plaza apparently was holding back on what she knew after all.

“I just take what I can get, you know. I don’t discriminate against being in the MCU.”

The Illuminerdi’s report about Aubrey’s casting also suggests that Agatha: Coven of Chaos will start with a brief shoot in December followed by a full shoot lasting from January through the early summer months of 2023. As of now, a premiere date hasn’t been set at Disney+ for the series.

This article was updated to add Deadline’s corroboration of The Illuminerdi’s report.
