Eddie’s Debut Raises Big Questions for MCU Fans

Agatha All Along Episode 6 has dropped a massive clue that could point to the introduction of a fan-favourite Marvel Comics character—Hulking! Played by Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Eddie makes his full MCU debut as Billy Maximoff’s (Wiccan’s) teenage boyfriend, and fans are buzzing about whether Eddie could secretly be the legendary Young Avenger, Hulking.

The Eddie-Hulking Theory: Is Marvel Setting the Stage?

In Agatha All Along, we see Eddie and Billy’s blossoming relationship, which has sparked major speculation. In the comics, Hulking, whose real name is Theodore “Teddy” Altman, is a Skrull-Kree hybrid who forms one of Marvel’s most beloved queer romances with Billy Kaplan (aka Wiccan). Since Agatha All Along already confirms that Billy is on a journey to uncover his mystical heritage, many believe Eddie could be MCU’s version of Hulking.

The series introduces Eddie as supportive and caring, standing by Billy as they investigate what happened during Wanda Maximoff’s Hex in WandaVision. Fans quickly noted the similarities between Eddie and Teddy (Hulking’s comic name) and Eddie’s notable physicality, which mirrors Hulking’s super-strong, shapeshifting persona from the comics.

Billy and Hulking’s relationship is a cornerstone in Young Avengers comics, so bringing Hulking into the MCU feels inevitable now that Billy is confirmed to exist. The chemistry between Eddie and Billy is already strong, and Eddie shows an eagerness to help Billy explore his powers and past.

But does this mean Eddie is Hulking? The clues are strong, but Agatha All Along has a lot going on—multiple plotlines and huge characters waiting to make their grand entrances. It’s entirely possible that Eddie’s Hulking reveal might not happen this season. After all, the show is juggling everything from Billy’s hunt for his brother Tommy to the potential introduction of Mephisto and even the fate of Wanda Maximoff herself.

What’s Next for Hulking and the Young Avengers?

While Eddie may not officially transform into Hulking in Agatha All Along just yet, fans can almost certainly expect the character to join the MCU at some point. Hulking is central to Billy’s story, and Marvel has been steadily planting the seeds for a Young Avengers team with other characters like Kate Bishop, Ms. Marvel, and America Chavez.

So, while Agatha All Along may not be where Eddie fully embraces his superhero destiny, fans should look for Hulking’s inevitable MCU debut in future projects. Whether it happens in Agatha or beyond, Eddie’s introduction has kicked off what could be one of the MCU’s most exciting future romances and team-ups.

With three episodes left, Agatha All Along is ready to serve up even more twists, and fans will be watching closely to see if Eddie’s story transforms into the epic Hulking reveal we’ve all been waiting for.
