News and updates about the Marvel Comics character known as Tommy Shepherd, also known as Speed or Tommy Maximoff, across both comics and the MCU.
Ruaridh Mollica on Tommy running towards danger: "I think Tommy enjoys it, but he's also got a really strong moral code. It’s easily broken, and he doesn't trust very easily, but despite being a bit of a con man and a grifter...there is a moral code in there..."
Ruaridh Mollica thinks that Tommy would get along best with EDITH out of all the AIs: "Tommy and Edith would get along so well because Edith loves to do high-adrenaline, fast things, and Tommy does, too." (collider.com/visionquest-...)
Ruaridh Mollica on Tommy and Agatha: "I think he probably remembers Agatha more as the neighbor, but I'm sure there's got to be Agatha trauma in there...ultimately, they'd end up having a hoot. They could get up to some serious mischief." (collider.com/visionquest-...)
Ruaridh Mollica believes that Tommy is a reader: "I feel like Thomas would use books to escape, especially if he'd read those books before." (collider.com/visionquest-...)
Ruaridh Mollica on the similarities between Tommy and Wanda: "The nose scrunch was totally just a coincidence, but it was amazing. I think, in terms of Elizabeth Olsen's performances, I don’t know, maybe it was something subconscious." +
VisionQuest EP Mary Livanos on reuiniting the Maximoffs: "...the beginning of the reunification of the Maximoff family is a dream. I always wanted to bring Wiccan and Speed to screen and when we were developing Agatha we knew that Tommy and Vision were on the horizon as well."

This scene between Tommy and Lisa will occur in episode 8 of VisionQuest titled “Forever” according to the file name:

Ruaridh Mollica confirms there was discussion around the fact that Tommy isn’t shown being attracted to men in the show: “He’s flirting with Lisa Molinari, but I think that’s makes me feel more seen as bisexual,” he says. “Because that’s the whole point.” +
Ruaridh Mollica confirms that Tommy is bisexual in the MCU: “I feel like Marvel did a great job by casting a bisexual actor for this and it’s such an honor to be portraying that in the MCU. I feel so seen. These queer twin brothers in the MCU together…it’s so cool.”
Ruaridh Mollica confirms that him and Joe Locke (Wiccan) filmed scenes together for VisionQuest: "We actually shot our MCU stuff before we did the play." (via Entertainment Tonight)
