Joe Locke, one of the breakout stars of coming-of-age series Heartstopper, has joined the cast of upcoming Marvel series Agatha: Coven of Chaos.
As Variety reports, the show is a spin-off from WandaVision focused on Kathryn Hahn's character, Agatha Harkness, a witch with a palette of magical powers including telepathy and telekinesis.
There's no word yet on what character Locke will be playing, but we do know Hahn's fellow WandaVision cast member Emma Caulfield Ford will be reprising her role as Dottie Jones.
On Instagram, 19-year-old Locke said he "screamed" when he found out he had joined the Marvel Universe.

Agatha: Coven of Chaos is only Locke's second role after Heartstopper, the hit Netflix series in which he and Kit Connor play two British high school boys who fall in love. Another of the show's break-out stars, Yasmin Finney, has been cast in Doctor Who as a character called Rose who will make her debut in 2023.
Heartstopper, which premiered in April, has already been renewed for another two seasons, so all of their careers are definitely taking off.
