Hulkling May Be a part of the MCU in Champions with Wiccan
Wiccan is already within the MCU, making his debut as a toddler in WandaVision (as Billy Maximoff) after which in Agatha All Alongside (as Billy Kaplan). With Wiccan within the MCU, the 2 largest questions have been when his brother Tommy would present up and when Hulkling would arrive. Tommy has now debuted in VisionQuest, with Imaginative and prescient saving him and attempting to maintain him out of hazard. There are rumors that Billy and Tommy will lastly reconnect on the finish of this sequence. That leaves Hulkling.
