As a die-hard MCU fan who has grown up with Wanda and her family, I must admit that the latest twist in Agatha All Along has left me both excited and confused! The revelation that Billy Maximoff’s soul survived in William Kaplan, and Tommy possibly being in Thomas Shepherd’s body, opens up a whole new can of cosmic superhero drama.
Warning! This article contains spoilers for Episode 6 of Agatha All Along.
Key Takeaways
- Billy Maximoff’s soul survived in William Kaplan and he wants to be reunited with Tommy Maximoff.
- Tommy Maximoff’s soul may have been transferred into Thomas Shepherd’s body.
- Billy may find his brother Tommy at the end of the Witches’ Road, potentially setting up a Young Avengers team-up in the MCU.
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s been disclosed that Billy Maximoff makes his comeback, portrayed as a teenager by Joe Locke. However, Billy was merely one of Wanda’s twins presented in WandaVision. So, the question remains: where does Tommy Maximoff fit into the MCU storyline?
In the show WandaVision, Wanda Maximoff crafted an idyllic existence using strong sorcery, even bringing back Vision and bearing two kids, Billy and Tommy. However, at the end of WandaVision, Wanda found out that her reality bubble was forcing Westview’s residents against their will. To break the hex, she let it go, but it looked like Billy and Tommy vanished. In the sixth episode of Agatha All Along, we discovered that Billy’s spirit lived on by moving into William Kaplan’s teenage body, known as “Teen” in the series. This leads us to wonder if Tommy Maximoff might have survived too.
What Does Billy Maximoff Want From the Witches Road?
Following the unveiling of his genuine self, it was Billy Maximoff who freed Agatha Harkness from Wanda’s enchantment within Westview, handing her the task of accompanying him on the fabled Witches’ Path. This path is rumored to grant those who traverse it their deepest desires, and Agatha is the sole known survivor of this journey, which is why Billy sought her. Throughout most of “Agatha All Along“, Billy’s true identity was concealed by a spell cast by Lilia Calderu, keeping his real name hidden from the witches. This secret was finally shattered in Episode 6, allowing Billy to disclose his abilities and persona.
Despite Billy no longer having trust in Agatha, they both decide to move forward together to reach their destination and fulfill their aspirations. However, one may wonder about Billy’s intentions for this journey. Is he planning to bring back his mother or restore his father? Is it about regaining control over his own body? Not at all. In Episode 6, it is revealed that Billy desires something else entirely – reuniting with his lost twin, Tommy Maximoff. Although he acknowledges the demise of his mother Wanda and the dismantling of his father Vision, he remains uncertain about the fate of his brother, yearning for reunion more than any other ambition.
Where is Tommy Maximoff in the MCU?
| Full name | Thomas “Tommy” Shepherd |
| Codename | Speed |
| Creators | Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung |
| First Appearance | Young Avengers #10 (March 2006) |
| Powers | Supersonic speed, molecular acceleration, superhuman strength and agility |
In the hit series WandaVision, Tommy Maximoff was presented as one of Wanda’s swiftly developing children. Throughout most of the show, he was portrayed as a young boy, skillfully acted by Jett Klyne, who inherited his uncle Pietro’s (Quicksilver) super-speed abilities. In the comics and the series, Tommy is depicted in a similar manner and eventually progresses to become the Young Avenger known as Speed. Considering the close resemblance between Billy’s storyline in Agatha All Along and his comic book counterpart, it appears plausible that Marvel may follow a similar narrative path for Tommy Maximoff.
In the comic books, Thomas Shepherd becomes host to Tommy Maximoff’s spirit. Growing up in Springfield, New Jersey with separated parents, Tommy spent a significant portion of his youth in juvenile detention facilities. A tragic incident involving his powers led to the destruction of his school and a lengthy imprisonment in a maximum-security facility designed for superhuman criminals. However, his brother Wiccan, along with the Young Avengers, managed to locate him using the Avengers’ Emergency Locator System, which was instrumental in assembling their team. After they successfully rescued Tommy from prison, he and Billy (his twin) reconnected and discovered their familial bond.
Are the Young Avengers Coming?
Regarding Tommy Maximoff’s current location in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it remains a mystery. However, based on Billy’s circumstances, there’s a strong possibility that Tommy’s soul has been moved into another teenager’s body, possibly Thomas Shepherd. If the storyline of ‘Agatha All Along’ continues as expected, Billy might uncover Tommy’s whereabouts towards the end. And if comic book patterns hold true, he may need to rescue his twin from a prison-like confinement.
In light of Agatha All Along’s compact storyline, it appears unlikely that every aspect of Billy and Tommy’s journey will unfold in the remaining three episodes of the series. Yet, this doesn’t prevent the twins from making an appearance in future Marvel ventures. In fact, the conclusion of Agatha All Along could potentially set the stage for a Young Avengers collaboration. Characters such as Kate Bishop, Kamala Khan, Cassie Lang, and Riri Williams have already been introduced within the MCU. Notably, Kate Bishop and Kamala Khan were teased to be forming a new team in the post-credits scene of The Marvels, a team that seems destined to evolve into the Young Avengers.
In Marvel comics, it’s Billy who calls for the Young Avengers’ aid to save his twin. This could be their inaugural mission when they finally appear on-screen in the MCU. As for Tommy Maximoff’s actor, no announcement has been made yet, but there’s speculation that we might learn this secret at the conclusion of Agatha All Along.
Agatha All Along Episodes 1-6 are available to watch on Disney+.
