Agatha all the time explained why Wanda Maximoff was unable to locate her son Billy after the events of WandaVisionbut he offered no comparable explanation for his other son. Billy’s twin brother Tommy also appeared in the Marvel film WandaVisionbut did not return to the MCU timeline. As both are expected to play a role in the future of the MCU as members of the Young Avengers, this mystery will need to be addressed by Marvel soon.
In Agatha all the time In episode 6, the identity of Joe Locke’s character Teen was finally confirmed as Billy Caplan, aka Billy Maximoff. The character was last seen as a child in WandaVisionalongside his brother Tommy. Both were conjured by Wanda’s magic, only to disappear when her spell collapsed. Their fates have been one of the biggest questions surrounding Wanda’s story arc. With confirmation that Billy survived, many are now wondering when and how Tommy will return to the MCU.
Billy’s secrecy meant that Scarlet Witch would not have been able to find Billy
The Reason Wanda Couldn’t Locate Billy Afterwards WandaVision it was due to a sigil that was placed on William Caplan, the host body of Billy’s reincarnated soul. According to Agatha all the time, Billy’s sigil was embodied before his spirit was transferred to William Caplan. This protective symbol left Billy hidden from Wanda’s magical senses the moment the hexagon in Westview collapsed, and Billy Maximoff ceased to exist in this form.
This explains why Wanda, despite being one of the most powerful magic users in the multiverse, was unable to find her son Billy. The secrecy effectively masked Billy’s presence, making him impossible for Wanda to track himeven as she searched the multiverse during her rampage in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Billy was always there, but hidden under a powerful spell. This revelation is directly linked to the mystery surrounding Billy’s reincarnation and his role in the MCU, but it still leaves the question of Tommy’s fate unanswered.
WandaVision post-credits confirmed that Tommy also survived… But where is he?
In WandaVisionIn the post-credits scene, Wanda was seen hearing her sons, Billy and Tommy, calling her, seemingly from another universe or dimension. This moment began his violent search for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessas she searched all realities for her children. The fact that both boys are calling for their mother implied that Tommy, like Billy, also survived after the hexagon’s collapse. However, although Billy reappeared in Agatha all the timeTommy has yet to return to the MCU, leaving his fate a mystery.
If Tommy’s soul was also transferred into a new body, like Billy’s was, then it’s possible he also had a sigil placed on him, which would explain why Wanda couldn’t find him either. This would mean that Tommy is hiding somewhere, possibly waiting for the right moment to reappear. This sets up an exciting future narrative, which could reunite the brothers after Agatha all the time.
