Actress Patti Lupone recently announced her involvement in the upcoming Disney+ series, Agatha: Coven of Chaos, during an interview on The View. Lupone shared that she will be playing the character of Lilia Calderu, a 450-year-old Sicilian witch with the power of divination and trial of tarot.

Lilia Calderu’s Comic Book Ties To Doctor Strange

In the comics, Lilia Calderu has ties to Doctor Strange and Mordo, who was last seen in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. This suggests that connections to the Sorcerer Supreme will continue in the WandaVision spin-off, just as they did in the original series.

The cast for Agatha: Coven of Chaos includes Kathryn Hahn as Agatha Harkness, Emma Caulfield, Joe Locke, Aubrey Plaza, and Debra Jo Rupp. With so many cast reveals, fans are likely to hear more from Marvel Studios about the series in the coming months.

Patti Lupone’s Astonishing Career

One of Lupone’s earliest breakthrough roles came in 1979, when she starred as Eva Perón in the original Broadway production of the musical “Evita.” Her powerful vocals and commanding stage presence earned her a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical. She went on to reprise the role in the West End production of “Evita” and in a Broadway revival of the show in 2012.

Lupone has also had a successful career in film and television. She starred in the film adaptation of the musical “Les Misérables” in 1998 and had a recurring role on the hit HBO series “Oz.” She also appeared in several episodes of “Frasier” and “30 Rock,” and had a recurring role on the Showtime series “Penny Dreadful.”
