During a Marvel TV panel that had non-stop surprises — A third season of X-Men '97! Daredevil in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man! Krystin Ritter, Wonder Man's Yahya Abdul-Matteen II and Sir Ben Kingsley, and VisionQuest's Paul Bettany as unannounced guests! New trailers for everything!—there was one other enormous easter egg.

At the very end of the VisionQuest trailer, which seemed a fascinating combination of WandaVision’s genre-shifting and Tom King and Gabriel Hernández Walta’s brilliant 2015 Vision comic book, Vision watches a young man in CCTV footage who is identified as Tommy Shepherd. As we watch he says, “I have a family, and a father.”

The trailer then cuts to Ultron actor James Spader, here looking like the actor rather than the character and seeming to serve as a kind of fatherly adviser to Vision. “Mazel tov,” he says to Vision. “It’s a boy.”

Ever since Joe Locke was first cast for the WandaVision sequel Agatha All Along, comic book fans have wondered whether Marvel was about to introduce the adult versions of the twin boys Billy and Tommy that Wanda magicked into and then out of existence in WandaVision. In the comics, the twins were retconned back into existence as teenagers in Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung’s 2005 series Young Avengers, and Billy has become a fan-favorite character, massively powerful magically and romantically partnered with the Skrull/Kree teenager Teddy “Hulkling” Altman, who is currently the leader of the Skrull/Kree Empire.

Agatha All Along eventually confirmed that Locke was indeed Billy after a fashion, his soul having entered the body of teenager Billy Kaplan shortly after Kaplan was killed in a car accident. That series ends with Billy and Agatha deciding to go in search of Tommy. Given that Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum confirmed during the panel that VisionQuest as the end of the Wanda and Vision trilogy, it sure seems like that series is where they (and we) are likely to find him.

By a strange coincidence, the actor playing Tommy Shepherd, Ruaridh Mollica, is currently starring in the play Clarkston on the West End with none other than Joe Locke. Anyone lucky enough to see the play, which runs through November 22 (and includes seats for the audience on the stage!) may very well be getting a close-up look at the MCU’s next big thing.
