Agatha reunites several familiar faces from WandaVision. Here’s a guide to the cast of characters featured in the Phase 5 series.
Focusing on the titular Phase 4 villain, Marvel Studios’ Agatha will be reuniting several actors from WandaVision, as well as introducing exciting new characters to the MCU’s Phase 5. WandaVision kicked off the MCU’s Multiverse Saga as Marvel Studios’ first Disney+ series, and the project’s success led to the development of two spinoffs: Agatha and Vision Quest. Originally titled Agatha: House of Harkness, then later Agatha: Coven of Chaos, the upcoming series will develop the eponymous witch’s storyline that started in WandaVision, and expand the mythos of witches and sorcery in the MCU timeline.
While a second season of WandaVision won’t be produced by Marvel Studios, the series’ storyline has already been continuing in subsequent MCU projects, most notably Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and several of WandaVision’s other characters will see some major developments in upcoming MCU releases. Vision Quest is expected to follow White Vision on his new journey, while Agatha will focus on the Salem witch Agatha Harkness, as well as marking the return of a number of residents of Westview, New Jersey. Here’s a breakdown of Agatha’ cast and characters.
The Agatha Harkness show has gone through several name changes, including Agatha: House Of Harkness, Agatha: Coven of Chaos, and Agatha: Darkhold Diaries, before seemingly finally settling on the simple title of Agatha.
Kathryn Hahn as Agatha Harkness
Kathryn Hahn debuted as Agatha Harkness in WandaVision, originally depicted as Wanda Maximoff and Vision’s nosy neighbor who eventually revealed herself to be a powerful witch. Hahn started her acting career as grief counselor Lily Lebowski in Crossing Jordan before going on to star in dozens of comedy projects, many of which earned her critical acclaim.
With appearances in Parks and Recreation, Transparent, Glass Onion, and Bad Moms, to name a few, Hahn’s experience in both comedy and drama made her perfect for a role in the MCU, leading to her bringing Marvel Comics sorceress Agatha Harkness to life in WandaVision, a role that she’ll reprise in the Agatha show.
Agatha Harkness is a friend and mentor to the Scarlet Witch in Marvel Comics, and while she was depicted as a villain in WandaVision, she has already been shown to be providing useful tips and tricks to enhance Wanda Maximoff’s sorcery. After attempting to steal the Scarlet Witch’s chaos magic for herself, Agatha was placed under a spell that left her trapped in her “Agnes” persona, though it seems this spell will quickly be broken in Phase 5’s Agatha. Hahn will be joined by several MCU newcomers in Agatha, seemingly forming a new coven of witches in the MCU.
Debra Jo Rupp as Sharon Davis
Known for her role of Kitty Forman in That ’70s Show and That ’90s Show, Debra Jo Rupp debuted in the MCU’s WandaVision as Sharon Davis, a resident of Westview who became trapped in the Scarlet Witch’s Hex. Rupp was introduced as Mrs. Hart, the wife of Vision’s boss in WandaVision’s 1950s-themed premiere episode, and she eventually confronted Wanda Maximoff as herself in the season finale.
Rupp’s experience in sitcoms such as Kate & Allie, Family Matters, and Friends made her a perfect fit for WandaVision. Her return in Agatha also appears to prove that the upcoming series will still be set in Westview.
Emma Caulfield Ford as Sarah Proctor
Sarah Proctor was the focus of several prominent theories, including those that revealed her as Thor villain Enchantress, the witch Arcanna, or even the demon Mephisto. The extent of Emma Caulfield Ford’s role in Agatha is currently unclear.
Patti LuPone as Lilia Calderu
Broadway legend Patti LuPone was confirmed to be joining Agatha’ cast in December 2022, revealed to be portraying the witch Lilia Calderu. LuPone’s stage career has seen her earn three Tony Awards for roles in Evita, Gypsy, and 2022’s Company, and she’s received many more nominations.
On screen, she has starred in projects including Beau Is Afraid, American Horror Story, Hollywood, and Pose. Her character in Agatha, Lilia Calderu has been noted to be a 450-year-old witch and a member of Agatha Harkness’ original coven whose skill is divination, and she’s potentially adapted from Marvel Comics’ Calderu, who is the keeper of the Book of Cagliostro.
Sasheer Zamata as Jennifer Kale
Sasheer Zamata starred as a tenure cast member on Saturday Night Live from 2014 to 2017 and has also starred in a variety of other projects, including Woke, Home Economics, I Feel Pretty, and Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.Zamata was cast in Agatha in November 2022, and revealed that she would be portraying Jennifer Kale, a notable witch in Marvel Comics with connections to Man-Thing, Ghost Rider, and Doctor Strange. In Marvel Comics, Kale is a member of “The Witches” along with Topaz and Satana, so it’s possible this team could be forming in Phase 5’s Agatha.
Joe Locke’s MCU Role Was Announced In 2022
Joe Locke began his TV career with a starring role as Charlie Spring in Netflix’s coming-of-age drama Heartstopper, and was announced to be joining the cast of Agatha in November 2022. Although Locke’s role hasn’t yet been confirmed, there is a great deal of speculation that’ll he be portraying Marvel Comics’ Billy Kaplan, the reincarnated son of the Scarlet Witch and the young hero known as Wiccan. As a prominent LGBT+ character in Marvel Comics, Kaplan’s introduction in Agatha would be a great step forward for representation in the MCU.
Aubrey Plaza’s MCU Role Was Announced In November 2022
Best known for her role of April Ludgate in Parks and Recreation, Aubrey Plaza has been cast in an undisclosed role in Agatha, following several dramatic and comedic roles in recent years. With roles in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Legion, The White Lotus,Ingrid Goes West, and Black Bear, Plaza has had an incredibly varied career.
Though her role in the MCU show hasn’t been confirmed, there is speculation she could portray prominent Marvel Comics witch Morgan le Fay, or potentially even an original character created for the Phase 5 series. Given her acting credits, it’s likely that Plaza will have a major role in Agatha.
Agatha Supporting Characters
Asif Ali as Abilash Tandon: Actor and comedian Asif Ali, known for roles in Don’t Worry Darling, Space Force, and The Mandalorian, debuted in WandaVision as Abilash Tandon. His character in the Scarlet Witch’s sitcom-style world was Norm, Vision’s friend and colleague. Ali is among several returning actors from WandaVision appearing in Agatha.
David Lengel as Harold Proctor: David Lengel, known for roles in Jungle Cruise, Coming 2 America, and Henry Danger, appeared in WandaVision as Harold Proctor, Sarah Proctor’s husband. Inside the Hex, the couple remained together, though now as Phil and Dottie Jones. With Emma Caulfield Ford returning in a potentially-larger role in Agatha, it’s possible Lengel could also see an expanded role.
Amos Glick as Dennis: Amos Glick, who portrayed a waiter in Agents of SHIELD season 7, episode 1, “The New Deal,” also appeared as Dennis, a friendly mailman, in WandaVision. Dennis’ real identity prior to the Scarlet Witch taking over Westview isn’t known, but he is known to have been a pizza delivery man. Glick is among several returning actors from WandaVision appearing in Agatha.
Brian Brightman as Sheriff Miller: Brian Brightman only appeared briefly in WandaVision as the Sheriff of Eastview, New Jersey, who denied the existence of Westview altogether after the Scarlet Witch constructed the Hex. Brightman is known for his roles in No Vacancy, Alabama Snake, The Hate U Give, and Frank vs. God. Brightman is among several returning actors from WandaVision appearing in Agatha.
Kate Forbes as Evanora Harkness: Kate Forbes debuted in WandaVision as Evanora Harkness, Agatha’s mother and the leader of her original coven in 1693. It’s unclear whether she’ll return in Agatha in flashbacks or in the present day, as her character was seemingly killed by Harkness in WandaVision. Forbes is best known for roles in The Longest Ride and A Dark Place.
Ali Ahn: Known for her roles in Orange is the New Black, The Diplomat, Supernatural, and Little Demon, Ali Ahn has been cast in Agatha. Though her role isn’t yet known, Ahn is expected to be portraying another witch in Agatha Harkness’ coven. Ahn is in a relationship with William Jackson Harper, who debuted as Quaz in Phase 5’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
Maria Dizzia: Maria Dizzia is best known for recurring roles in Orange is the New Black, 13 Reasons Why, and The Staircase, while on film she has appeared in Funny Pages, Vox Lux, and Captain Phillips, to name a few. Dizzia’s role in Agatha hasn’t yet been revealed, but, like Ali Ahn, she is expected to be portraying a witch and member of Agatha Harkness’ coven.
Miles Gutierrez-Riley: With a recent starring role in The Wilds, Miles Gutierrez-Riley is a coveted new talent, and has been cast in Agatha in an as-yet-undisclosed role. Speculation suggests he may be portraying Teddy Altman, a.k.a. Hulkling, Billy Kaplan’s partner, though this hasn’t been confirmed. Agatha will mark Gutierrez-Riley’s MCU debut.
Okwui Okpokwasili: Artist, performer, and choreographer Okwui Okpokwasili has been cast in an unknown role in Agatha. Okpokwasili has previously appeared in projects including I Am Legend, Remote, Bronx Gothic, and Madeline’s Madeline. She has received several awards for her work, and is even a MacArthur Fellow, making her a brilliant asset to the cast of the Agatha show and the MCU as a whole.
