The WandaVision spin-off Agatha: Coven of Chaos has intrigued many. Not only is Kathryn Hahn returning as Agatha Harkness but joining her is a stellar cast. The show is heavily speculated to explore the origins of its titular character. It’s also rumored that Agatha Harkness will help teach one of Wanda’s sons about his powers.
As a result, MCU fans are already theorizing which actor is playing which character. But there’s more intrigue about the villain. There are plenty of theories about who the possible antagonist could be. Now, a film insider has given an eyebrow-raising hint about it.

The film insider doesn’t outright say the name of the villain but fans have assumed it’s Mephisto. After all, in the comics, Mephisto (or the devil) is the one connected to the Scarlet Witch and Harkness and has the power to shapeshift. There’s also speculation that Sacha Baron Cohen will play the villain. However, as per @CanWeGetToast Cohen is first supposed to appear in another MCU show- Ironheart. Here’s the tweet:

So we could get introduced to Mephisto in another show and then see a form of the demon in Agatha: Coven of Chaos. Fans think that Aubrey Plaza could play the form of the villain in the show instead of portraying Morgan la Fay. But all of this is pure theorization and there has been no official confirmation about any of it.
Who Is Mephisto And What Role Will He Play In Agatha: Coven Of Chaos?
Mephisto first showed up in the pages of Marvel comics in Silver Surfer #3 (1968). The character was created by John Buschema and Stan Lee. As the name says, he is inspired by the infamous Mephistopheles from Faustian legend. The character rules over the Mephisto realm and has many names like Beelzebub, Satan, Lucifer, etc.
Essentially, he’s a stand-in for the devil. As per lore, he came into existence during the beginning of time and can alter memories, shapeshift, as well as manipulate reality. It will be interesting to see how the character is incorporated in Agatha: Coven of Chaos. Till now, fans know that Kathryn Hahn’s Harkness killed her coven.
All because her sisters wanted to kill her when they came to know that she was using dark magic to carry out forbidden activities. So as the title of the show says, Hahn’s witch might be looking to form her coven again and this time she might try to take on the Scarlet Witch with their help. Mephisto might help her in the mission. It remains to be seen if Mephisto is even the main villain and how he gets adapted if he indeed is.
