Now in production in the UK, Marvel Television’s untitled Vision series has been making quite a bit of news over the past week. Set largely in the lawless island nation of Madripoor, the show will follow the synthezoid Avenger ‘s efforts to discover who he is. With Todd Stashwick‘s Paladin tracking him down and a handful of Tony Stark’s AI creations–including the villainous Ultron–set to play key roles, it seems Paul Bettany‘s Vision will have a full plate. And now, according to a new report, Vizh’s plate may be too full.
According to insider Daniel Richtman, Scottish star Ruaridh Mollica, who joined the cast of the series last year, will portray a character named Tucker, who will ultimately be revealed to be the vessel for the soul of Tommy Maximoff.
As seen in Agatha All Along, the souls of Billy and Tommy Maximoff were removed from their bodies by Billy just as their bodies disappeared while Wanda Maximoff undid her Hex. Having felt that his brother moved into a body, Billy and Ghost Agatha set out to find Tommy.
In the comics, Tommy Shepherd was the reincarnated Tommy Maximoff and became a Young Avenger going by the name Speed. Like his uncle, Pietro Maximoff/Quicksilver, Tommy could move at supersonic speeds. Though it was never truly explored, Tommy was believed to possess powers beyond what he had previously displayed.
With Tommy set to appear, it looks as though the Vision series will indeed put a bow on the “Maximoff Trilogy” and set the stage for the comic book Young Avengers to assemble. It may also tee up another chapter in the story of Wanda Maximoff in which her sons seek to reunite with her in an adaptation of Avengers: The Children’s Crusade.
