Fans of Marvel's Scarlet Witch ( Wanda Maximoff) were left with some major questions after the WandaVision series ended. While her children, Billy and Tommy Maximoff, vanished after she released Westview from her hex, the latest series, Agatha: Coven of Chaos, brought a big surprise for those who loved her twins!
The Maximoff twins were first introduced in WandaVision (2021). This was a story showing Wanda's grief and the ability to create a fantasy world using her "chaos magic." She managed to do so by creating the town of Westview where she created a fictional world based around classic sitcoms!
In this exciting storyline, Wanda created Billy and Tommy.
When Agatha Harkness broke the Hex, the twins vanished, leaving fans heartbroken! This became a cliffhanger that left lots of room for interpretation.
The mystery continued! In Agatha: Coven of Chaos, we got an unexpected twist as it was revealed that Joe Locke's character, "Teen," is actually Billy Maximoff! This was a shocking event as it confirmed many theories that had fans discussing and predicting.
Even with the confirmation that this was in fact, Billy, the question still remains how is he here? Billy from WandaVision was never really real! The most exciting theory suggests that Billy's current existence is from another universe. This comes after the events that unfolded in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), a film where Wanda journeyed to multiple universes in an attempt to reunite with her twins!
This reveal from Agatha: Coven of Chaos has some interesting implications!
The show may have answered a huge question, bringing Billy back. However, there is still another to answer- Tommy. While Agatha: Coven of Chaos was a fantastic, and pretty fun story arc, it still left audiences with major questions about Tommy! Even those fans with great insight about the lore will find there are gaps about Tommy. We can turn to Marvel comics. To give this theory some credibility!
There are several key elements that stand out when explaining how both twins make their way back into the main timeline! A theory suggests they were "reincarnated" souls. So when Wanda used magic, and made the Maximoff twins in WandaVision. These new incarnations weren't just illusions!
This theory in Marvel comics makes Billy Kaplan and Tommy Shepherd to be the real deal after these lost souls managed to escape from Mephisto and get reborn.
As for Agatha: Coven of Chaos, what did it bring to Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)? This could be more than just getting the twins back into this new arc. While the fate of Tommy might be a cliffhanger it still has lots of MCU potential!
The series seems to focus heavily on creating a "Young Avengers" and while fans have been wanting this series for ages! The groundwork really got underway with Agatha: Coven of Chaos, leaving us wanting to learn more about where Billy and Tommy are! And for sure, a huge question: how do Wanda and Agatha end up together once again? This really will bring viewers back for ages and makes the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) more exciting!
