‘I see the vision!’: Marvel fans rejoice as the latest member of the MCU’s favorite family may have finally been found

After Agatha All Along, the hype for Disney Plus’ Vision TV series suddenly skyrocketed, and it’s doing so again after Scottish-Italian actor Ruaridh Mollica was announced to have ed the show in an intriguing role. Officially, the 25-year-old is being pegged to play a character called Tucker… But Marvel fans have been down this (witches’) road before, and they think they know what’s what.

Welcome to the MCU, Tucker — or should we say… Tommy Maximoff?

Vision causes hype to speed up by possibly, maybe, probably casting Scarlet Witch’s other son

Previously in the MCU: In the Agatha All Along finale, Joe Locke’s Billy Maximoff/Kaplan/Wiccan managed to resurrect the soul of his twin brother, Tommy, into the body of some poor kid who died during a swimming pool prank gone wrong. At the end of the episode, Wiccan and Ghost Agatha set off in search of Tommy, a plot-thread that promises to be picked up in fellow WandaVision spinoff Vision.

So that’s why the news that Marvel has just cast a promi-and-coming star — fresh off his breakout role in indie darling Sebastian — as a character called “Tucker” is causing fans to request elaboration.

Is that you, Tommy?

You knew someone had to say it.

So, just to prepare you early, in case we’re about to hear a lot from him in the MCU in the years to come, it’s pronounced “Roo-Ray Mollica.” You’re welcome.

But is Mollica really Tommy reborn? Is Billy about to do his best Mufasa impression and declare “My brothaaa!” Well, it is possible he’s really just some kid called Tucker, but so far Vision has only cast the most significant of cast-, so that would be surprising. At present, the curiously eclectic cast includes Paul Bettany (back as White Vision), James Spader (voicing Ultron once more), and Faran Tahir (reprising Raza — you know, the terrorist from Iron Man). Todd Stashwick is also on board in an undisclosed role. As Tommy Shepherd’s father, perhaps?

If Mollica really is our new Tommy then it looks like fans have caught just as quickly as they did when his supposed new superhero sibling, Joe Locke, was first cast in Agatha All Along. At least, if we’re right, Tommy has an actual fake name this time. It was mighty hard for Marvel to convince us Locke wasn’t Billy when his character was literally only known as Teen. We’ve got plenty of time to speculate on Speed’s spontaneous respawning, as Vision isn’t scheduled to get here until 2026.
