The new MCU show acts as a sequel to WandaVision and Agatha All Along, completing the trilogy and exploring what happened to the Vision (Paul Bettany) who has his namesake's memories but not his lived experiences. Vision is reunited with one of his sons, Tommy Maximoff (Ruaridh Mollica), who also goes by Thomas Shepherd. The series explores how this is possible despite Tommy being a product of the hex in Westview, New Jersey created by Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen), and seemingly ceasing to exist when the hex was brought down. While speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Mollica confirmed that Joe Locke will return in later WandaVision episodes, sharing that "it was amazing [shooting with him]." Locke previously played Tommy's brother, Billy Maximoff/William Kaplan, in Agatha All Along. He discussed working with Locke on the show and in a West End play they did together, explaining that "we actually shot our MCU stuff before we did the play, which was amazing. And so we met for a coffee beforehand to get to know each other and we were just so excited. We became such good friends instantly. And then we did a play on the West End together and had this big secret that slowly started to leak as we were doing it. And it was fun, people would be doing secret MCU fan art at the stage door. It was amazing, my first time connecting with fans and people were excited about it." More to come...
