Did Patti LuPone Just Reveal Her ‘Coven of Chaos’ Character on ‘The View’?

Patti LuPone dropped major details about her Agatha: Coven of Chaos character.

The stage and screen actor made an appearance during Tuesday’s (April 18) broadcast of The View to talk about her recent projects. 

First, LuPone discussed her role in Ari Aster’s new movie Beau is Afraid, also starring Joaquin Phoenix.

She was then asked about her upcoming Marvel debut in the Disney+ series Agatha: Coven of Chaos, which is a spin-off of WandaVision – and she did not hold back on the deets.

LuPone said, “Well it’s a coven of witches, and I play Lilia Calderu, who apparently is in the Marvel world.”

She added, “I researched her and she’s hot! She’s really hot! She’s got a great body, raven hair.” The actor went on to say that she “didn’t know anything” about the franchise and was shocked to find out that there were witches in “the Marvel world.” 

The series stars Kathryn Hahn as the eponymous character, alongside Ali Ahn, Aubrey Plaza, Joe Locke and Emma Caulfield Ford – the latter is reprising her role of Dottie from the predeccessor. 

LuPone described her character as a “450-year-old Sicilian witch whose power is divination and whose trial is tarot.” She said that she’s currently shooting the series in Atlanta and thinks “it’s going to be fantastic.”

Decider reached out to Disney for comment.

Little is known about the anticipated series, however it is set to premiere this winter or in early 2024 and features WandaVision creator Jac Schaeffer as the writer and executive producer. An early synopsis for the series read, “Agatha Harkness is one of Earth’s most powerful witches, and lives for centuries, her aging slowed thanks to magical means. She becomes the governess to the First Family’s son Franklin Richards and tutor to Wanda Maximoff, AKA Scarlet Witch.”

The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
