5 Roles That Aubrey Plaza Could Play in the Mcu

Aubrey Plaza has become the latest high-profile name to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, following in the footsteps of fellow Parks and Rec alum Kathryn Hahn. Set to star in Agatha: Coven of Chaos, very little is truly known around the role Plaza will play.

With context clues of the series involving witchcraft, magic shenanigans, potential multiverse implications, and Plaza being known for a dry sense of humor and gothic roles, here are our best picks for her in the MCU.

Talisman

Marvel’s lack of Canadian inclusion could be addressed in Coven of Chaos if Plaza is chosen to play Talisman. One of the traditional members of the Canadian superhero group Alpha Flight, Talisman is imbued with power magical abilities from a mystical skull found in an archaeology dig. Often seen as a superhero, it would go against the reports of Plaza playing an antagonist.

Magik

Illyana Rasputin’s alter ego of Magik feels like an interesting potential character for the MCU to introduce, with the character a traditional member of the New Mutants. The leader of the demonic underworld of Limbo, she’s an adept sorcerer who has trained under both Professor X for her mutant teleportation abilities, and with Doctor Strange. Choosing Magik would feel like another strong way to usher in the era of mutants into the universe, especially with the character versatile in groups she’s joined.

Anya Taylor-Joy played Magik in the ill-fated The New Mutants movie, but considering the film’s lack of success, you can’t imagine it’ll cause headaches for mainstream audiences.
