The actor, best known for his role as Charlie Spring in Netflix\u2019s teen drama Heartstopper<\/a>, has been cast in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, according to Variety<\/a>.<\/p>\n The publication notes that the casting has yet to be confirmed by Marvel Studios but Locke has already taken to Instagram to confirm the news.<\/p>\n Posting a screenshot of the Variety story, Locke penned: \u201cWhen I found out I got an email which said \u2018welcome to the marvel universe\u2019 and I screamed [three purple heart emojis]\u201d.<\/p>\n The report also states that WandaVision cast member Emma Caulfield Ford will reprise her role as Dottie from WandaVision.<\/p>\n RadioTimes.com<\/a> has reached out to Disney+ for comment on this story.<\/p> The only other cast member currently confirmed for the series is fan-favourite WandaVision cast member Kathryn Hahn who will reprise her role as the witch Agatha Harkness.<\/p>\n Agatha: Coven of Chaos, which had originally been titled Agatha: House of Harkness, will centre on its eponymous witch but details remain scarce regarding the plot.<\/p>\n Speaking about the series to RadioTimes.com<\/a> previously, Hahn said: \u201cI mean, you\u2019d have to be a deep diving\u2026 comic book aficionado to know Agatha Harkness from the comics. I had never heard of her before. And so the fact that this is happening is just testament to the incredible writing [and] the, you know, weird timing. It\u2019s so bananas.\u201d<\/p>\n She continued: \u201cIt\u2019s going to be such a great, fun dive into [that world]\u2026 It\u2019s so meta that WandaVision was a show about sitcoms, and of course, it\u2019s going to have a spin-off. It just makes total sense, in a very meta way.\u201d<\/p>\n Of course, fans had already been considering Locke as a potential casting for an older Billy Maximoff aka Wiccan in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.<\/p>\n Fans will recall that Billy is one of two sons created from magic by the Scarlet Witch aka Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen. Wanda had obsessed over reuniting with her sons Billy and Tommy in the film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness after previously ending their illusory existence in the WandaVision finale.<\/p>\n Could Agatha provide a magical way for Billy and T0mmy to return?<\/p>\n Of course, Locke could be portraying a different character entirely. Let the speculation begin!<\/p>\n The news of Locke\u2019s casting comes after Deadline<\/a> reported that Paul Bettany would be reprising his role as Billy and Tommy\u2019s android father Vision in the series tentatively titled Vision Quest, which they report is in development at Marvel Studios and follows the character post-WandaVision.<\/p>\n Marvel Studios and Bettany\u2019s reps declined to comment to the publication at the time.<\/p>\n Agatha: Coven of Chaos is coming soon to Disney+ \u2013 sign up to Disney+ for \u00a37.99 a month or \u00a379.90 a year<\/a> now.
