Joe Locke

WE WON!!!!!!! I didn't think this would actually happen! I'm so over the moon right now!

Although I think Joe would make a great teenaged Billy, it seems weird to me that he would be in Agatha Harkness. VisionQuest would make more sense. Unless Wanda is going to be involved somehow.

It was already reported that the Agatha series will adapt parts of the Children's Crusade storyline, which centers around Wanda's twins.

Ah, I hadn’t heard that. Still odd though, as I don’t recall Agatha being central to the Children’s Crusade, alhouh I haven’t read it in awhile so I could have sketchy recollections lol

 

[lericcson420]

he's been fancast as Wiccan for months. I didn't expect it to be possible.

But yeah it's been leaked that Billy will be in the Agatha show. Joe also fits the casting call. So we're essentially at a 1+1=2 situation lol.

 

[Jason GayLight]

Hell yeah, now let's see if/when they cast Teddy as well

 

[Shadowball]

He's probably playing Nick Scratch or something

 

[FletcherThorne665]

Ugh he never goes shirtless hopefully we will get some in heartstopper season 2 and as wiccan

 

[Ayrios]

tbh, Kit would be perfect

 

[newcru]

Kit would be perfect as Hulking, but to be fair I would be surprised if they cast both Joe and Kit as another couple.

 

[wiccanthemage]

I can't believe this is actually happening!! He is PERFECT for the role!

Being a comic book fan and insane marvel fan I’m not here for this. Hopefully he’s Agatha’s son and not Wanda’s.

 

[zuma54]

Well, with all the plot leaks, casting leaks and everything else... I would say he's 95% gonna be Billy/Wiccan. Unless we get Ralph Bohner'ed again, and considering how that went I don't think they would do it again.

 

[Shadowball]

I think they are proud of the Ralph Boener twist and would love to do it again.

I am curious who you would have prefered. Even my favorite was not cast- but if Locke is wiccan- it may be the better choice. I guess this opens the door for a totally new thread... but I am wondering why you seem to not want him to be Wiccan?

I thought someone like Joshua Bassett fits the role, and already has ties with Disney. But if it's Joe, I'll be more than happy.
Also, Kit Connor as Hulkling would be great as well

One thing I'm seeing a lot is that people would prefer a Jewish actor to play Billy, since he's canonically Jewish.

 

[newcru]

I mean, he’s Jewish in faith and gypsy by blood.

And they hired a black actor to play Wonder Man, so clearly they aren’t too bothered with strictly transferring from page to screen

In the comics, he's ethnically Jewish two ways: His spirtual grandfather, Magneto, is ethnically Jewish, so his spirtual mother, the Scarlet Witch, is too. She just didnt know that until adulthood. Her mother is ethnically Roma and that is the community she was raised in.

BUT: The Kaplans aren't Billy's, like, adopted family. They are his biological family. William Maximoff wasn't taken physically from Wanda and adopted out. Rather, his body and soul were seperated from each other and the body destroyed. His soul was reincarnated into Billy.

That’s what I get for quitting comics about 8 years ago. All the details get fuzzy lol

News today says Wanda will be in it in some capacity.
