VISION Series Reportedly Casts The MCU's Tommy Maximoff, AKA Speed - SPOILERS

It seems the Marvel Cinematic Universe has found its Speed in the form of a previously cast actor. This sounds like something that will be kept under wraps during the Vision series, so spoilers ahead...

Back in February, the trades reported that Marvel Studios' planned Vision series added another new cast member, leading to speculation that the Marvel Cinematic Universe may have found its Tommy Maximoff, aka Speed.

You may recall which actor we're referring to, but it sounds like this is something Marvel will attempt to keep under wraps, so beware of spoilers from this point on.

According to Daniel RichtmanThe Franchise and Too Rough actor Ruaridh Mollica's character, Tucker, will indeed turn out to be Tommy Maximoff.

Agatha All Along introduced Billy Maximoff's (Joe Locke), who set off to locate his brother alongside "Ghost Agatha" (Kathryn Hahn) in the season finale. 

Richtman writes: "In Agatha All Along, Billy’s soul is shown to inhabit the body of William Kaplan, a teenager who tragically dies in a car accident shortly after his bar mitzvah. Similarly, Tommy’s soul will inhabit the body of Tucker, with his true origins as a Maximoff being revealed as the series unfolds. 

We assume both Wiccan and Speed will ultimately go on to be a part of the Young Avengers project (believed to be titled The Champions) that's currently in the works at Marvel.

At 25, Mollica is a little older than Locke (21), but he could convincingly play a teenager.

Earlier today, we learned that Emily Hampshire (Schitt's Creek, 12 Monkeys, The Rig) has also joined the cast as a human version of E.D.I.T.H. (Even Dead, I'm The Hero).

This tech was created by Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) before being passed on to Peter Parker (Tom Holland) following Iron Man's demise in Avengers: Endgame.

James Spader will also return as Ultron, and while their roles have yet to be confirmed, rumor has it that Kerry Condon will appear as F.R.I.D.A.Y. in human form, and James D'Arcy will be back as Edwin Jarvis in some capacity.

T’nia Miller (Foundation, The Fall of the House of Usher, La Fortuna) is set to play the Bride of Ultron, Jocasta, who is described as "cunning, powerful and driven by revenge." Faran Tahir will also return as Raza, the ruthless leader of the 10 Rings terrorist group who targeted Stark in 2008's Iron Man.

The Vision project - which may or may not end up being titled Vision Quest - has been described as "the third part of a trilogy that started with WandaVision and continues in Agatha All Along." We found out last year that the show had been revamped, with Star Trek: Picard executive producer Terry Matalas now on board as showrunner. 

Matalas' work on Picard is said to have "greatly impressed the top brass at the studio. Marvel chief Kevin Feige, an avowed Trekkie, even recently appeared with Matalas on a two-hour episode of the Star Trek podcast Inglorious Treksperts.”

There's been no mention of Elizabeth Olsen's potential involvement, but we do know that the series will take place after the events of WandaVision, "as ghost Vision presumably explores his new purpose in life."

The finale of WandaVision revealed that the Vision we'd been spending time with over the course of the season was actually one of Wanda's constructs, but the real, "White Vision" was rebuilt by S.W.O.R.D. and programmed to track down and kill the Scarlet Witch. This version of the character away to parts unknown towards the end of the episode after declaring himself to be the "true Vision."

First!

I hope he's a good actor.

In the comics, before 2025, which White character did T'Challa make Black Panther?

I hope the mystery is worth it. Marvel loves to do these reveals like most comic folk don’t be guessing who they are, though I do understand the general public doesn’t.

Billy was handled well in Agatha, so I have faith they’ll do Tommy the same way.

@MyCoolYoung - I hope they don’t unfold the mystery of Tommy’s identity as they did Billy’s throughout the show since it might feel repetitive..

Honestly , I think it would be cool if we find out fairly quickly that he’s Tommy if this is true and then we have to see Vision and him deal with that

@TheVisionary25 - 1000% agree. I'm curious to see how they balance the Vision stuff with the Tommy stuff. With Ultron coming back, it could be a packed affair.

I enjoyed Agatha. I hope the Vision series continues that mysterious and creepy vibe that both Wandavision and Agatha kept.

@SonOfAGif - agreed. Wandavision is the best +Disney show imo, and Agatha was a very very pleasant surprise that i really liked

@SonOfAGif - I’d love a spooky vibe but do you think this material lends itself to that?

@thedrudo - I think you can definitely have a level of dread in a techno sci-fi storyline. Look at The Terminator, Maximum Overdrive, The Predator, Alien, and so on. I think if it's done right there could be a good level of horror thrown in. Especially with Synthetics.

I hope this is great. Unfortunately, the only way for that to happen is for them to dump everything that happened in the sh!tty Agatha show and start over.

Yeah like Assatha and Death being married.

That isn't it, chief.

What do Disney mean by selling Fantastic Four popcorn buckets with white and grey vertical stripes?

For me, it wasn’t interesting. Just a hand full of women wandering through the woods doing a bunch of singing and then the gay crap. Some people find that entertaining, and that’s okay if that makes them happy. I am not entertained by that at all.

They should have waited for the original kid actors to grow up a little bit before pushing Wandas kids in shows/movies, after seeing the original kids then seeing the twink they casted as Billy you just think to urself what happened

@Matchesz -Did you watch Agatha All Along or read the comics related to Wanda's kids ?

That wouldnt make sense, Wanda's children just like the comics possessed new bodies
thats why new actors are potraying Wanda's kids
it straight out of the comics

So using the same actors wouldnt really work

Ruaridh Mollica was cast back in February. The moment he was cast, most people were speculating he was playing Tommy Maximoff. Problem with this Daniel Richtman spoiler it's going to be well over a year before it's proven true. With all the speculation, it took Richtman THIS long to finally say what everyone has been thinking for 4 MONTHS! I hope he's correct and not just throwing a spoiler out there because he knows it's going to be a while before he's held accountable for it. Ruaridh Mollica was very good in 'Sebastian' so anyone who's seen that film can see he has acting chops.

With the assumption this is true, Ruaridh Mollica will probably start off as Tucker Shepherd and becomes Tommy Maximoff during the course of the Vision show. Tommy started in the comics in a detention center. My guess is Tucker Shepherd is probably an abused teenager living either in a detention center or homeless shelter. I've been theorizing Vision is working as some sort of social worker to better understand humanity. Perhaps Vision's close proximity to Tucker is the reason why Billy sought him as a vessel to host Tommy's soul. We probably will see Tucker getting bullied and is eventually drowned by the bullies seen in Agatha All Along when Billy Maximoff placed Tommy's soul into his body. This will tie all three series together, WandaVision, Agatha All Along and Vision Quest together.

Everyone loves the emotional soap opera elements of the X-Men. This story with the Maximoff family will probably be the most cohesive one done by Marvel Studios post-Endgame. The eventual Maximoff family reunion is on par to Thor learning there is a version of Loki still living in the multiverse. These are the reunions fans have been waiting years to see.

I’m not familiar with Mollica as an actor but I do wish him well for the series , regardless if he is indeed Tommy or not…

There are some minor & obscure characters from Marvel comics that have the first or last name “Tucker” so he could be a version of them or an original character created for the show which is what I’m leaning towards…

Going by this though , “Tucker” is likely either be a codename or perhaps the body Tommy’s soul inhabits in this version was named that instead of Tommy Shepherd like in the comics

If this is true then the actor is an bit older then I thought they would go considering I felt he would be a bit younger or about the same age as Joe Locke (21)

Idk if I can see him as a teenager (maybe college age at best) but I guess it depends on hairstyle & such.

This guy cannot play a teen convincingly, because he doesn’t even remotely look like one.

@EducatedDefense - well...if Tobey Maguire could play a teenager back then, this dude def can.

Is Schaeffer coming back? Because I feel they should keep the vibe what Wandavision and Agatha had in common. The Best episodes of those shows where the ones digging into the character's trauma.

I hope it's leaned to an existencial thing and not robots shooting lasers at each other
