Epic reunion in VisionQuest finale breaks down what the future means for Ruaridh Mollica and the MCU

Tommy’s bisexual identity

Mollica said Tommy knows he is bisexual, even though the show does not explore a specific queer relationship. The actor hopes that part of Tommy’s life can be addressed in the future.

“I hope that it exists in who he is,” Mollica said, describing his wish for Tommy’s identity to be reflected in his personality as well as any relationship. He also said Tommy may have been with men before the events of the show, or in other timelines.

Thomas Shepherd’s painful past

Mollica described Thomas Shepherd’s history as a central part of Tommy’s story. Thomas spent much of his life alone, moving through foster families that did not understand him.

That past helps explain why Thomas steals and struggles to trust people, Mollica said. He wants the possibility of a loving parent, making the prospect of a father-son bond with Vision especially meaningful.

Different views of Wanda

VisionQuest also gives Tommy a chance to express his perspective on Wanda, following Billy’s exploration of his own feelings in Agatha All Along. Mollica said Tommy views the Scarlet Witch differently from Billy. The story presents Tommy’s experience alongside the complexities of his identity as Thomas Shepherd and as one of Wanda and Vision’s sons.
