Buffy's Emma Caulfield confirms MCU return in WandaVision's Agatha spinoff

Buffy the Vampire Slayer actor Emma Caulfield has revealed that she will be returning to the MCU in the WandaVision spinoff Agatha: Coven of Chaos, which centres around Kathryn Hahn's iteration of Agatha Harkness from the original show.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, the actor talked about navigating her multiple sclerosis diagnosis as well as working on the new show while being mindful of her body's capabilities. She also talked about keeping it a secret for over a decade and how the team behind WandaVision had no idea about her diagnosis.

"I am going back to work! Everyone has been notified that needs to be notified. I can't put myself through what I did with WandaVision again. I can't do that," she said.

"[The WandaVision team] did nothing wrong…. They had no idea what was going on with me. They didn't ask anything of me that was like: 'I need to call my agent!' They're asking me to just sit and chat and do my dialogue. It's not hard.

"[I told them now] knowing that I shouldn't be out in this heat at all. And if I am, I need to be taking way more precautions than I am," she added.

Speaking about her experience working on WandaVision, she said: "Everything was fine. But the heat was unbearable. And I was feeling every inch of that. I got really weak. I just went into survival mode and I remember having to be outside…. It was just unfortunate timing really. But I was very, very uncomfortable and no one knew. I said nothing. And I paid the price for that."
