Two-time Tony-winning Broadway legend Patti LuPone is the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in the Disney+ series, “Agatha: Coven of Chaos”.
Interestingly, LuPone has admitted that she was not familiar with the MCU before joining the series, in which Kathryn Hahn will reprise her villainous “WandaVision” role.
Despite her limited knowledge of the MCU, LuPone has been having a blast playing Lilia Calderu, another witch alongside Hahn’s Agatha Harkness.
The star-studded cast includes Aubrey Plaza, Emma Caulfield Ford, Joe Locke, Ali Ahn, Maria Dizzia, Sasheer Zamata, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, and Okwui Okpokwasili, among others.
LuPone has praised the show’s talented crew, design, and creator Jac Schaeffer.
In a recent appearance on The View, LuPone shared some insight into her character, Lilia Calderu, in the MCU series.
She described her character as “hot” with a great body and hair, and expressed surprise at the presence of witches in the Marvel universe.
The show is currently in production and is expected to be released sometime in 2024.

In the film, LuPone plays alongside Joaquin Phoenix, portraying his character’s overbearing mother in this comedic exploration of Jewish anxiety.
