“I signed for my whole life”: Joe Locke opens up about his potential return as Billy Maximoff to the MCU after Agatha All Along

Joe Locke, known for his role as Billy Maximoff (Wiccan) in Agatha All Along, recently opened up about his commitment to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in an interview with The Playlist. In the interview, Locke revealed that he signed a contract with Marvel that spans his entire career. This long-term agreement confirms that his portrayal of Billy Maximoff is just the beginning of his journey within the MCU.

Here’s what Locke revealed—and what it could mean for Billy’s future in the MCU.

What does Joe Locke from Agatha All Along say about his agreement with Marvel?

In the interview with The Playlist, Locke confirmed that he will be associated with Marvel for most of his acting career, which suggests his role as Billy Maximoff is going to be significant in the Marvel Universe. He further expressed his enthusiasm for the role and the potential future of his character:

"Kevin Feige doesn’t ring you up, but when I signed my contract, I signed for my whole life. But so you sort of wait for them. You’re in limbo to them, which is, there are worse things to be in limbo for."

In an older interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actor also suggested the possibility of Billy joining the Young Avengers, a team he believes could be a natural progression for his character. However, Marvel Studios hasn’t officially confirmed what’s next for Billy Maximoff.

Fans are eager to see more of Locke’s portrayal of Billy, especially after the character’s significant reveal in Agatha All Along. With the actor’s long-term commitment to the MCU, it seems likely that Billy’s story will continue to unfold in future Marvel projects.

Agatha All Along ending also confirms a promising future for Billy Maximoff

The ending of Agatha All Along also suggests that the franchise has bigger plans for Maximoff. By the end, Agatha transforms from a ghostly threat into a mystical ally. Now, Billy has a clear new goal: finding his missing brother, Tommy, who has not appeared since WandaVision. We learn that Billy now exists in a real-world form—so Tommy must be out there too—and it’s Billy’s responsibility to find him, as the stories that began in WandaVision are still alive.

Other characters that have been introduced in the MCU include Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld), Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani), and Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton). These heroes could come together to form a new generation of Avengers, which is also expected to include Billy, given his clear comic book counterpart in the Young Avengers team.

A new series centered around Vision (Paul Bettany) is on the way, and it’s expected to revisit themes and events connected to Westview. However, there’s no confirmation yet that Billy will appear in that show. There are also speculations around a spin-off centered on Wanda Maximoff’s family that is already in development.
