“Heartstopper” star Joe Locke has joined “WandaVision” spinoff “Agatha: Coven of Chaos” for Disney+, TheWrap has confirmed.
The new Marvel Studios series is set to premiere on Disney+ and centers on magician Agatha Harkness, once again played by Katherine Hahn.
It is unclear who Locke will play in the new series, although online speculation has suggested that he may play an older version of Billy, who was one of the children in Wanda’s Westview (he played “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”). I had also spent a lot. Trying to get back to them). In addition to Locke and Hahn, Emma Caulfield Ford is also confirmed to return to the series, with her “WandaVision” character Dottie.
Plot details for the series are still being kept in an adamantium-lined vault, but the title suggests that there will be more witches in this new series. Agatha was originally introduced as a related neighbor of Wanda, who turned out to be an ancient evil dating back to the days of Salem. She also inspired the original series “The Most Insidious Earworm” (listen below).
“WandaVision” lead writer and executive producer Zack Schaefer will also return in the same roles for “Coven of Chaos.” It was recently revealed that Marvel Studios and Disney+ are working on another “WandaVision” spinoff, centered around the Vision character of Paul Bettany.
Locke played a gay teen who falls for a popular classmate in Netflix’s “Heartstopper,” based on a popular web comic and graphic novel. The series was an immediate breakout and Netflix quickly renewed the series for a second and third season.
Variety was the first to report this news.
