I reckon adapting Tommy Maximoff's new origin story for the Billy Maximoff's soul in the body of William Kaplan, which made me hopeful that his brother would also return.

Billy and Tommy Maximoff were previously portrayed by Julian Hilliard and Jett Klyne, respectively, in WandaVision and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. However, inspired by their Marvel Comics stories, which detailed a convoluted story of the twins being reincarnated in the forms of Tommy Maximoff recast in the MCU.

We waited almost the entire series for Tommy Maximoff to return to the MCU, but Agatha All Along episode 8, "Follow Me My Friend/To Glory at the End," finally made this a reality. During the final trial on the Witches' Road, Agatha Harkness used her expertise to help Billy Maximoff psychically connect to his brother's soul, which hadn't found a body after being released from the Westview Hex. Billy found an empty vessel for Tommy's soul, and Billy and Agatha, now in her ghost form, set out to find Tommy in Agatha All Along's finale.

I noticed some clear changes between Tommy Maximoff's new origin story in the MCU and his backstory as Thomas "Tommy" Shepherd in Marvel Comics. Agatha All Along episode 8 revealed that Tommy Maximoff's new body comes from a troubled home, with apparently nobody looking out for him, and he is the victim of intense bullying, which ultimately culminates in his death, with his bullies drowning him. This makes me think that the new Tommy Maximoff will be a darker character than Jett Klyne's version, but this could work perfectly for the MCU.

How The MCU Can Still Adapt Tommy Maximoff's Marvel Comics Origin

Tommy Maximoff's New Origin Story Is Perfect For The MCU

Even though Marvel Studios has changed many aspects of Tommy Maximoff's reincarnation storyline for the MCU, I still think the history of Tommy Shepherd can be adapted somewhat faithfully. In Marvel Comics, Tommy Shepherd had a hard upbringing and comes from a separated family, leading to him becoming a rebellious teenager. Billy Kaplan's Wiccan and the Young Avengers track down Tommy Shepherd, who has speedster abilities like his uncle, Quicksilver, in a high-security facility where he was imprisoned after he accidentally vaporized his school using his powers.

Tommy Maximoff made his first Marvel Comics appearance in 1986's The Vision and the Scarlet Witch #12, but was revealed to have been reincarnated as Thomas "Tommy" Shepherd in 2006's Young Avengers #10.

Marvel Studios has already set up the perfect way to adapt this origin story. I reckon Billy Maximoff's Wiccan could still find his brother imprisoned, perhaps after accidentally vaporizing his bullies after taking up residence in his new body after being drowned. This would be a pretty dark origin story for the new Tommy Maximoff in the MCU, but I reckon this would be a perfect way to set up his darker streak as Speed. I would love to see this more mature and experienced version of Tommy Maximoff, and I know exactly where he could appear.

The Maximoff Twins Would Make Excellent Young Avengers

The introduction of various young heroes in the MCU's Multiverse Saga has made me think that Marvel Studios will surely develop a project focused on the Young Avengers. This could include Kamala Khan's Ms. Marvel, Kate Bishop's Hawkeye and, after Agatha All Along, Billy Maximoff's Wiccan. I reckon this would be the perfect place for Tommy Maximoff to officially return, as this would adapt his Marvel Comics origin authentically. While the MCU's Vision series would be a strong place for Tommy Maximoff's return, his appearance in a Young Avengers movie makes a lot of sense.
