Audiences were surprised when the finale of Billy Maximoff/Wiccan (Joe Locke) setting out to find Billy's twin, Tommy.

Alternatively, the next few MCU projects have nothing to do with Billy, so there may be nothing to tease. Wiccan may not have filmed any further scenes for the MCU at this time. Moreover, neither Captain America: Brave New World or The Fantastic Four: First Steps are likely to feature Billy or Agatha, despite the latter servingf as the Richards' nanny in the comics.
