Warning! This article contains spoilers for Episode 6 of Agatha All Along.

Summary

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.

Agatha All Along has revealed the return of Billy Maximoff in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, who is now played in his teenage years by Joe Locke. But Billy was just one of Wanda's twins introduced in WandaVision, so where is Tommy Maximoff in the MCU?

The events of WandaVision saw Wanda Maximoff use powerful magic to create her perfect fantasy life, which included resurrecting Vision from the dead and creating two children for them, Billy and Tommy. In the finale of WandaVision, Wanda came to learn that her hex was controlling the residents of Westview against their will, so she put an end to it, which also caused her twins to disappear - or, so it seemed. Agatha All Along Episode 6 revealed that Billy Maximoff's soul survived by transferring into the teenage body of William Kaplan, or "Teen" as he's been referred to throughout the series. Does this mean Tommy Maximoff also survived?

What Does Billy Maximoff Want From the Witches Road?

After learning his true identity, it's Billy Maximoff who breaks Agatha Harkness out of Wanda's spell in Westview and entrusts her to take him on the legendary Witches' Road. The road is said to be able to grant those who walk it whatever they most desire, and Agatha is the only known survivor of the road, hence Billy seeks her out. For the majority of Agatha All Along, Billy's identity had been kept secret by a sigil cast by Lilia Calderu, which prevented him from revealing his real name to the witches. This was finally broken in Episode 6 and allowed Billy to reveal his powers and identity.

While Billy no longer trusts Agatha, the two agree to continue down the road so that they may reach the end and achieve their desires. But what are Billy's intentions for the road? Does he want to resurrect his mother or rebuild his father? Does he want his own body? No. Billy reveals to Agatha in Episode 6 that he simply wants to be reunited with his lost twin, Tommy Maximoff. While he knows that his mother Wanda is dead and his father, Vision, has been dismantled, he doesn't know the fate of his brother, and so desires to reconnect with him more than anything else.

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

Tommy Maximoff was introduced as one of Wanda's fast-growing children in WandaVision. For the majority of the series, he was portrayed as a young boy (played by Jett Klyne) who had inherited the super-speed powers of his uncle, Pietro (aka Quicksilver). Tommy is depicted similarly in the comics and eventually goes on to become the Young Avenger known as Speed. Given that Billy's backstory in Agatha All Along was adapted so similarly to that of his history in the comics, it seems logical to assume that Marvel may do a similar thing with Tommy Maximoff.

In the comics, Tommy Maximoff's soul is transferred into the body of Thomas Shepherd. Living in Springfield, New Jersey as the son of divorced parents, Tommy found himself in and out of juvenile prisons for much of his adolescence. At one point in the comics, Tommy accidentally used his powers to destroy his high school, which resulted in him being convicted and locked up in a high-security prison for super-powered humans. While locked up, his brother, Wiccan, and the other Young Avengers were able to track him down using the Avengers Fail-Safe program, which helped Iron Lad locate and gather the members of their team. After breaking Tommy out of prison, he and Billy realize they are twins and reconnect.

As for where Tommy Maximoff is in the MCU right now, it's unclear. However, it seems likely that, similar to Billy, Tommy's soul would have been transferred into the body of another teenager, most likely Thomas Shepherd. The way Agatha All Along is headed, it seems like Billy may discover the location of his brother at the end of the road and, if it is anything like the comics, he may have to break his twin out of prison.

Given the limited nature of Agatha All Along, it doesn't seem feasible that everything between Billy and Tommy will be achieved in the remaining three episodes of the series. However, that doesn't rule out the twins from appearing in future Marvel projects, and perhaps the ending of Agatha All Along could continue to pave the way for a Young Avengers team-up. Some of the other members of the team, including Kate Bishop, Kamala Khan, Cassie Lang, and Riri Williams have already been introduced in other MCU projects. Kate Bishop and Kamala Khan even met in the post-credits tease for The Marvels, where it was suggested they would be forming a new team that will likely go on to become the Young Avengers.

Billy needs the Young Avengers' help in Marvel comics to rescue his twin, so this could be the team's first mission when they eventually make their debut on-screen in the MCU. A new actor has not been announced in the role of Tommy Maximoff, but perhaps this is a reveal that will occur at the end of Agatha All Along.
