Oh no one mentioned this but in Guardians Superskrull mention the Skree alliances new "Throneworld" so apparently King Teddy & Prince Billy have a whole new world as home maybe will get to see it in March.

I actually realized, I wonder if the reason Riri was cast so early, before there's even a showrunner, is because she's appearing in something else first.

We just don't know, because I'm pretty sure Tommy has literally never had any other interaction with Wanda after Children's Crusade (I'm not counting Secret Wars' House Of M, 'cause that wasn't the main reality). It's a shame, really. There's so much about him that is just a giant blank space.
Evidence about an Ironheart production can be traced back all the way to 2018, when Marvel was apparently accepting a script pitch for it. So maybe the announcement wasn't really ''early''; maybe we just didn't know how forward it was because they didn't say anything publicly. Hopefully that's also the case with the alleged Young Avengers production. We hear a lot about it happening, but never from Marvel.
I was hoping we would get some new images, but it's the same one Coates had already teased on his Instagram last year. I'm not expecting him to have a big role, but hopefully he'll get a good showing.
Coates' run is finally coming to an end after a long hiatus, so it makes sense Marvel wants to promote it.
It's a well thought-out concept and nice nod to their comic origins but given all the controversy surronding WW1984 and it's body swapping shenanigans Marvel would be smart to avoid any similiar implications with Tommy and Billy that could cause any potenial consent issues.
I'm not sure if that's exactly what Fokken was suggesting, but yeah, that's actually a really good point. I was never into the idea that two innocent kids were ''possessed'' by the original twins and had all of their lives just... erased so they could exist. It's such a dark twist to their origin that kind of ruins the wholesomeness of Wanda being reunited with her kids for me. There's already so much sadness and destruction around the story of her kids, and I wouldn't want to think she was indirectly responsible for ruining two more lives in the process of getting her kids back. Which is why I always preferred the time travel/retroreincarnation theory. I like to think the process just happened ever since they were in the wombs of their mothers, with the souls of the babies magically shaping the fetuses so they would be born looking like identical twins (and my theory is that the souls did this so they could eventually recognize and find their way to each other once they were born).
All that being said... it's possible they won't even go there at all with the reincarnation thing in the MCU. It's a very complicated story to begin with that might not translate well to live action. My guess is still that we will get them in the ''real MCU'' through multiverse shenanigans that are going to happen between WandaVision/Spider-Man 3/Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness.
I said this before, but if they're gonna put thematic distance between Wanda and the twins, it might be some for of partial memory wipe on either party. Wiping Wanda's memory post WV and having the twins search for her gets them their YA: Presents and partially Children's Crusade storyline, while wiping them gets something akin to the reincarnation stuff, seeing as they'll basically be blank slates.
That being said, I'm guessing they don't want to overcomplicate it, so maybe Wanda just goes missing and they're left stranded in the real world.
Anyway, did anyone read this article on WV?

In it, they mention CC, but...
I don't know how the hell they read CC and thought Cassie was the one that jumpstarts the search/storyline. I know it's probably written by someone who doesn't read comics and is basing importance off of the MCU, but... it made me think of the very real possibility in order to get the YA into movies, they'll not only downplay Billy and Teddy, but also take their storylines and hand them off to other characters, like that little blurb accidentally did, so they can say it's close to source material, but not have to give gay characters some shine on the big screen.Avengers: The Children’s Crusade (2010), Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung
Redemption for Wanda eventually came, and it was due to the actions of the Young Avengers. Cassie Lang requested the Young Avengers search for the Scarlet Witch in the hopes that she could restore mutants’ powers, and more pressingly resurrect her father, Scott Lang, who was killed during Disassembled. Their quest leads them to team up with Magneto, also searching for Wanda, and the discovery that team members Wiccan and Speed are reincarnations of Wanda and Vision’s children.
Wiccan is the jumpstarter, but I can see why they thought it was Cassie, as she says this near the end of the first issue:
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Aveng...rusade_Vol_1_1Think about it. Billy's not the problem. The problem is Wanda Maximoff. She's the one who lost her mind. She's the one who made mutants an endangered species. She's the one who murdered my dad. And why did she do all that? Because she thought she'd lost her kid. So if we can show her that her sons are alive and well, she can undo it all. All of it. And can reverse the spell, give the mutants back their powers...and she can bring my dad back to life.

The only way this could work for me is if the spell/effect picked two kids/teens that were in comas and brain-dead and revived them with the new spirits in them. Basically re-homing the wayward souls in some 'empty vessels' and giving them another shot at life.
Presumably the 'rewrite' would also sort of conveniently swap their names around and mess with the memories of their parents and friends and make them always think they'd been named Billy and Tommy (since it would be ridiculously likely that there'd be two kids about the right age with those names lying in comas at the right time...).
The whole thing could be handled in a single scene of some grieving parents receiving the notification from their doctor that their son wasn't going to recover and showed no signs of brain activity, and that they now just had to make the decision to discontinue life support, while in the room there's a magic swirly and the teen's eyes suddenly open and he gasps, and the doctor rushes in and the family are all overjoyed and just as they are all rushing in the energy swirly happens around the doctors clipboard and on a sheet on the foot of the bed where we see a nametag change from 'Aaron' or something to 'William' and the mother stutters when saying her son's name and says Billy instead, looking confused, as if she thought for a second he was named something else...
So, the souls live on, but they aren't 'replacing' or supplanting anyone. (If anything, the parents are getting a second chance, as they were losing their sons. Although that might not be as big a deal for Tommy's parents, who don't seem to be as involved in his life...)
