Agatha: Coven of Chaos follows the fan-favorite character Agatha Harkness, known for torturing Wanda Maximoff in WandaVision and performing the catchy tune “Agatha All Along,” as she interacts with various other witches. The coven in question comprises Aubrey Plaza, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, and Joe Locke as the group’s familiar.

The show also features returning townspeople trapped in The Scarlet Witch’s sitcom world, including Debra Jo Rapp, Emma Caulfield Ford, David Payton, David Lengel, Asif Ali, and Amos Glick.

However, one of the most exciting casting announcements was the addition of Patti Lupone, a Tony Award-winning Broadway icon famous for her roles in Gypsy (2008), Evita (1980), Sweeney Todd (2006), and Company (2022). And despite her lack of knowledge regarding the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she is more than enthusiastic about her character Lilia Calderu.

In an interview with The View promoting Beau is Afraid (2023), Patti LuPone confirmed that she will be playing Lilia Calderu in Coven of Chaos as well as the rest of her coven.

LuPone quickly jumped in about Calderu, gushing, “She’s hot! She’s really hot! Yeah, she’s got a great body, raven hair…”

Despite not knowing anything about the “Marvel world,” LuPone seemed all in on her character. “I play Lilia Calderu, a 450-year-old Sicilian witch whose power is divination and whose trial is tarot.” She continued, “She’s very interesting. I think it’s going to be fantastic.”

When asked about the release date, LuPone seemed as confused as anyone trying to understand the Marvel Studios release calendar, saying, “I think 2024. We’re not done shooting yet; we’re in Atlanta shooting.”
