Agatha: Coven of Chaos is starting to look like a full-on WandaVision reunion, only without Wanda, as another member of the original show’s cast is set to return for the new Disney Plus series.
Randall Park will be reprising his role as Jimmy Woo, the FBI agent who helped Monica Rambeau and Darcy Lewis take down S.W.O.R.D. operative Tyler Hayward at the end of WandaVision. Although Park’s character actually debuted earlier in the MCU — as he kept an eye on Scott Lang/Ant-Man while he was under house arrest in Ant-Man and the Wasp — he’s also shown having lunch with Scott near the beginning of Quantumania.
Details regarding his character’s relevance to the plot have yet to be given, although it’s likely that his connection to Agatha, S.W.O.R.D., and the events at Westview means they have no choice in bringing him back; it just makes sense, and that’s the only excuse we need. He’ll likely play a vital supporting role again, similar to WandaVision.
While some speculated Coven of Chaos would be a prequel, it seems that may not be the case if Park is returning — there wouldn’t be much reason for him to show up in the story before the events at Westview.
I thought this show was an Agatha Harkness origin story?

Regardless of what the plot may be, fans were just happy to see the return of a familiar face as they expressed their excitement online.

Other fans wanted to see Jimmy Woo get his own team and a solo series with Agents of Atlas, or just anything, as long as he’s the lead.
We’re waiting for the headline “Randall Park will return as Jimmy Woo as the star of Agents of Atlas on Disney*”

We need more Jimmy woo, he needs a spin-off, the show could show us what he was doing in between movies.

Filming for Coven of Chaos is already well underway, so we could be seeing the show hit Disney Plus as early as the end of this year. Now that we know Jimmy Woo is returning, we have all the more reason to be excited.
