'Agatha All Along' star Patti LuPone wants to fight Ryan Reynolds in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Broadway legend Patti LuPone is now part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, thanks to a scene-stealing role as Lilia Calderu, a 450-year-old Sicilian witch in Agatha – All the time.

And while she tells diversity she still knows “nothing” about the MCU in general, she has thrown down the gauntlet with one of its newest superstars, Ryan Reynolds.

Not Reynolds' vulgar, fourth-wall-breaking character, mind you, but apparently the likable actor from Vancouver who helped save the MCU from its recent box office slump with Deadpool and Wolverine.

She hasn't seen any avenger movies and admitted that she didn't want to, before adding, “Maybe I should say I want to because I want to be in the Marvel Universe.”

She explained that she wants to play either a “good witch or a villain” on the big screen, and then challenged Reynolds himself. “Is Deadpool, are they Marvel?” she asked. Upon hearing that this was indeed the case, she added, “I would fight Ryan Reynolds. I have no idea what Deadpool is, but I would just fight Ryan Reynolds.”

Incidentally, LuPone told the trade she was watching WandaVision three times to prepare for her role in the spin-off, which premieres on Disney+ on Wednesday, adding: “I finally got a little bit of it.”

Marvel Studios is owned by Disney, the parent company of ABC News.
