Warning: SPOILERS for WandaVision episode 5.
WandaVision episode 5’s cast expands as the Marvel Studios series unravels more mysteries and utilizes key Marvel characters. The first Marvel Cinematic Universe show for Disney+ is now officially past the midseason point for season 1. Five episodes of WandaVision have been released and each adds a few more questions and answers to what is really going on with Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany).
After largely focusing on what is happening outside of Westview in episode 4, WandaVision episode 5 spends time in and out of the warped city. Inside Westview, Wanda and Vision are figuring out how to raise their twin boys Billy and Tommy and seeing them grow up extremely quickly. Wanda attempts to keep the altered reality in line but Vision continues to question what she’s allowing to happen. Outside of Westview, the characters in SWORD further analyze what could be going on and that eventually leads to a confrontation with Wanda in the real world.
With the different points of view in WandaVision episode 5, the cast featured involves most of the main characters the series has used in the past. But, the show’s ending also packs the return of someone who has been highly rumored and speculated about. Here’s a complete guide to the cast of WandaVision episode 5 and which actors are involved.

WandaVision episode 5 once again stars Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch. The episode’s debut officially means Olsen has been in more episodes of MCU TV shows than in movies. Wanda’s story is focused on trying to be the best mom for her twins, Billy and Tommy, but she also must keep SWORD from interfering with the life she’s created. She also steps out of Westview for the first time in the episode. Viewers will recognize Olsen from her past MCU appearances, but she’s also known for roles in Godzilla and Wind River.
Paul Bettany returns as Vision in WandaVision episode 5 too. The episode provides more background on what happened to Vision’s body after Avengers: Infinity War and before the show began. But, Vision also spends time searching for answers and growing suspicious of Wanda. Bettany has appeared in multiple MCU films prior to WandaVision, and viewers might also recognize him from his work in A Knight’s Tale or Solo: A Star Wars Story.
WandaVision episode 5 ends with a massive Marvel reveal and the return of Wanda’s dead brother Pietro Maximoff. However, the show reveals that Evan Peters is playing Quicksilver after previously playing the speedster in Fox’s X-Men movies. This is so far expected to be a multiverse recast instead of bringing Aaron Taylor-Johnson back after Avengers: Age of Ultron. Evan Peters can be seen as Quicksilver in X-Men: Days of Future Past, X-Men: Apocalypse, Dark Phoenix, and even a cameo in Deadpool 2. Peters is also known for his roles in Kick-Ass and American Horror Story.
Kathryn Hahn is back as Agnes in WandaVision episode 5, and she acts stranger than usual. Agnes stops by unannounced to help with the kids and asks to start the scene from the top after thinking Vision messed up. It is later revealed that Billy and Tommy’s new dog Sparky mysteriously died at her house. Hahn plays up the 1980s tone for this episode. She has an extensive comedic background through Step Brothers, the Bad Moms franchise, and much more.
After playing a central role in episode 4, Teyonah Parris reprises her role as Monica Rambeau in WandaVision episode 5. She’s now safely removed from Westview and is back to working with SWORD to determine what is going on. There is even a tease that Monica’s powers are starting to manifest. Parris is still new to the MCU, even if a young Monica Rambeau appeared in Captain Marvel. The actress is best known for roles in If Beale Street Could Talk and Chi-Raq.
FBI agent Jimmy Woo is back in WandaVision episode 5. Randall Park made his MCU debut in Ant-Man and the Wasp and didn’t return until WandaVision episode 4. He’s still highly involved in the investigation of what is happening in Westview but is starting to butt heads with SWORD’s director. Park’s biggest role of his career is as one of the stars of ABC’s Fresh Off the Boat. He’s also recently starred in Netflix’s romantic comedy Always Be My Maybe and DC’s Aquaman.
Kat Dennings returns as Doctor Darcy Lewis in WandaVision episode 5. She was responsible for finding the broadcast frequency of Wanda’s altered reality in the last episode. Here, Darcy attempts to help Monica find a way to get something back inside Westview. Dennings previously appeared in Thor and Thor: The Dark World in the MCU. Beyond the shared universe, viewers might recognize Dennings for her work in 2 Broke Girls or Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist.
Billy Maximoff is present throughout WandaVision episode 5, and the show uses multiple actors to play him. Billy is seen as both five and ten years old during the episode, but he does not yet have his magical powers. Baylen Bielitz plays Billy when he is five years old and Julian Hilliard takes over when he becomes ten. Bielitz has no confirmed acting credits on IMDb, but Hilliard has previously appeared in The Haunting of Hill House as young Luke and will be in The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.
Tommy Maximoff also grows up rather quickly during WandaVision episode 5 and is shown to be five and ten years old at different points. Tommy is not shown to have superspeed powers yet. Gavin Borders plays the five year old version of Tommy, but Jett Klyne plays him as a ten year old. Borders had a small role in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood in 2019.
