Marvel has released a new clip for VisionQuest that puts Thomas Shepard at the center of the story. The footage confirms what many fans suspected: Thomas Shepard is the reincarnated form of Tommy Maximoff, the son of Wanda Maximoff and Vision. The clip connects directly to the events of the Agatha All Along finale, where Tommy’s soul entered the body of a drowning boy. VisionQuest premieres on Disney+ on October 14, 2026, and the series will follow Vision as he goes on the run with this mysterious young man.
The New Clip Shows Tommy Recounting His Drowning
The latest VisionQuest clip begins with a scene pulled straight from the Agatha All Along finale. A dead boy is shown coming back to life as Tommy’s soul enters his body. The clip then cuts to an older Thomas Shepard, played by Ruaridh Mollica, describing the drowning incident from his own point of view, according to Soap Central.
Thomas explains that he remembers having a family, a mother and a father, and that he carries memories of someone he is not. That line points directly to the soul transfer that happened in Agatha All Along, where Billy Maximoff helped place his twin brother’s soul into the body of a boy who had drowned, as reported by TheWrap.
The clip gives viewers their clearest look yet at how Thomas understands his own identity. He is not simply a young man with strange powers. He is someone living inside a body that is not his own, carrying the memories and soul of Tommy Maximoff.
Thomas Shepard Is Tommy Maximoff Reincarnated
Thomas Shepard is the reincarnated version of Tommy Maximoff, also known as Speed in the Marvel Comics. Tommy is the twin brother of Billy Maximoff and one of the two sons created by Wanda Maximoff through chaos magic during the events of WandaVision, according to Soap Central.
In the WandaVision finale, the Westview hex came down, and both Tommy and Billy seemed to disappear. Agatha All Along later revealed that Billy’s soul had entered the body of a teenager named William Kaplan. The finale of that series showed Billy and Agatha tracking down Tommy’s soul and placing it into the body of a boy who had drowned. That boy became Thomas Shepard, as reported by Ars Technica.
The VisionQuest clip shows Thomas as an adult who has aged out of the foster care system in the United Kingdom. He has been living as a small-time thief and a grifter, trying to survive on his own, according to Soap Central.
Tommy’s Super Speed Powers Are on Full Display
The clip and earlier trailers show Thomas Shepard using the same super speed powers that Tommy Maximoff had as a child. Thomas is seen analyzing his hands as they warp at super speed. He also sprints across a stage at lightning speed, according to ABC13.
Those powers come from his uncle, Pietro Maximoff, also known as Quicksilver. The trailers draw direct comparisons between Tommy’s speed and Pietro’s abilities. In the Marvel Comics, Tommy takes on the superhero name Speed and eventually joins the Young Avengers, as noted by Nerdist.
Ruaridh Mollica, who plays Thomas, described the character as a young man who has lost his way.
“We meet Thomas Shepherd as a hurt young man. He’s a grifter, he’s a small-time thief, he’s a bit of an artful dodger at the time, and he’s lost in his life. He’s looking for a purpose, and he ends up on the road with Vision.” — Ruaridh Mollica told Soap Central.
Why Vision and Thomas Cross Paths
VisionQuest follows White Vision as he tries to piece together his memories after the events of WandaVision. His quiet life is shattered when a bounty is placed on his head. He is forced to go on the run, and that journey brings him into contact with Thomas Shepard, according to The Playlist.
Vision discovers that Thomas may be the reincarnated version of his son. The two end up traveling together as Vision tries to protect Thomas from the people hunting him. The trailers suggest that Vision wants to save his son and that Thomas is looking for a purpose, which puts them on the same road, according to TV Tonight.
Ultron, voiced by James Spader, occupies space inside Vision’s mind. Ultron tells Vision to free him so that he can help save Thomas. Vision appears to give in, which sets up a major conflict for the series, according to Entertainment Weekly.
A Sinister Threat May Be Targeting Tommy
A fan theory points to a darker storyline involving Thomas and the Department of Damage Control (DODC). The theory suggests that the DODC may be capturing Thomas to extract the Mutant Growth Hormone (MGH) from his body, according to Soap Central.
The Mutant Growth Hormone has appeared in X-Men films like Deadpool and Logan. In the comics, the serum can enhance a mutant’s abilities or give non-mutants temporary powers. If the theory holds, VisionQuest could confirm that Tommy and Billy are mutants, something the MCU has not yet done, according to Soap Central.
The trailers show Thomas strapped to a chair next to medical instruments. A plane is also shown flying toward Madripoor, a shady city-state in the MCU. That combination of details has led fans to believe that Thomas is in serious danger from people who want to use his powers for their own gain.
