Ruaridh Mollica Talks His Own Sexuality While Confirming Tommy Is Bisexual on 'VisionQuest' TV Show
- Ruaridh Mollica, who portrays Tommy Shepherd/Tommy Maximoff in Disney+'s VisionQuest, spoke with Variety about playing a bisexual character as a bisexual actor. He told the outlet in an interview posted Friday that "I feel like Marvel did a great job by casting a bisexual actor for this."
- Created by Terry Matalas, VisionQuest is a spin-off of the 2021 miniseries WandaVision that follows Vision seeking truth about his identity. The series explores the reincarnated twins Tommy and Billy Maximoff, children of Wanda Maximoff and Vision, in a nontraditional robot-and-witch family.
- Mollica emphasized the representation matters deeply: "its not necessarily about who youre dating, its about who you are inside, and who you want to flirt with." His Tommy flirts with fellow outcast Lisa Molinari, making the bisexual representation feel authentic to the actor.
- Fans have compared Mollica to Tom Holland after he leaked spoilers, including Joe Locke's involvement in two days. Marvel has yet to officially confirm his involvement in the series despite Mollica's comments.
- The first two episodes of VisionQuest debuted Tuesday on Disney+. Actor James Spader returns as Ultron alongside Paul Bettany's Vision, expanding the WandaVision universe with new LGBTQ+ representation.
