Following rumors that have swirled since the series began, Agatha All Along has re-introduced Billy Maximoff, leading to questions about where his brother Tommy could be. Wanda Maximoff’s family from WandaVision seems to be at the center of many of the new series’ events, and it appears that the program intends to provide a great deal of additional context to WandaVision. One of the most notable new additions to the lore concerns events that occurred with William Kaplan in the latest episode.
Agatha All Along Expands Scarlet Witch’s Story Indirectly
Billy And Tommy Maximoff Appear To Be Important To Agatha All Along
Despite being dead, Wanda Maximoff has played an important part in the story of Agatha All Along. There have been several Scarlet Witch references throughout the series, and the introduction of Billy Maximoff has made it clearer that more will follow. The latest episode of the show saw the Hex Wanda had placed on Westview, and examined the impacts of that on William Kaplan during a violent car crash. The souls of Billy and Tommy Maximoff are released beyond the boundaries of the Hex, leading to many possibilities.
While the story of Billy and Tommy is not a direct continuation of Wanda’s own story, it is important to it. Wanda’s violent travel across the multiverse was inspired by her children calling out to her after the Hex was destroyed. She was searching for her children, wherever they might be, although it appears this may have been foolish. While Wanda wasn’t able to find Billy in her own universe, he had actually been right there the entire time.
Lilia Calderu May Be To Blame For Scarlet Witch’s Death All Along
Lilia’s Sigil Kept Billy From Being Able To Reveal Himself
The latest episode of Agatha All Along explained Billy’s return, and it addressed components in some unexpected ways. Most notably, this was done during a scene where William Kaplan met Lilia Calderu during his Bar Mitzvah. Posing as only a palm reader, the witch who would later become a part of Agatha’s coven saw something disturbing in William’s future, and placed a sigil upon him that kept him from revealing himself. When William was taken over by Billy, this hid him from the various witches of the MCU.
Because of this sigil, Wanda was not able to locate her own son in her own universe. This small choice caused Wanda to rain destruction upon the multiverse in search of her sons. While Tommy’s MCU status has not yet been confirmed, it seems likely that a similar fate could have befallen him, and that Wanda’s entire story in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness may have been in vain. If Billy had not been hidden from Wanda by Lilia’s actions, the Scarlet Witch may never have died at all.
Wanda’s story in the MCU is deep, dark, and tragic. However, even after it has ended, it appears that numerous events still seem to be tied in with her story. Billy Maximoff’s return in Agatha All Along is exciting, and leads to much speculation about the return of Tommy, and even of the Scarlet Witch herself. Death is never truly the end in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and audiences desperately want Wanda to return. In some capacity, it feels likely to happen at some point, and likely sooner than later.
