In 2020, the MCU’s first foray into the world of Disney+ was “WandaVision,” a spin-off detailing what happened to Wanda Maximoff after the events of “Avengers: Endgame.” The standout character of the series wound up being Kathryn Hahn as the villain Agatha Harkness. In 2021, Marvel announced that the diabolical witch would be receiving her own series, “Agatha Harkness: Coven of Chaos.”
Expected to be a big part of Phase 5 on the small screen, the discourse surrounding the series since its announcement has mostly focused on the casting, and understandably so. Joe Locke, Aubrey Plaza, Ali Ahn, Maria Dizzia, and Sasheer Zamata have all been confirmed as joining the series, while Emma Caulfield Ford will reprise her “WandaVision” role as Dottie. Though no character names beyond Dottie have been publicly noted yet, presumably one of these actors will wind up playing the series villain. While none of the roster of known “Coven of Chaos” cast members make obvious sense as a comics-accurate version of Harkness’ son Nicholas Scratch — it wouldn’t be the first time Marvel on Disney+ threw us a curve ball. After all, that’s how we got Agatha on “WandaVision.”

A powerful sorcerer in the comics, his name is a play on “Old Scratch” — an age-old nickname for the devil. Though in the comics he’s a wise older man, the series could always show his emergence from her mother’s coven as a wicked warlock. Locke might actually make a fit for that version of Scratch.
