Actor Ruaridh Mollica, who stars as Tommy Maximoff in Marvel’s “VisionQuest,” says playing a bisexual character alongside his own bisexual identity is an “honor” and makes him feel “so seen.” He frames the casting as personally meaningful because it reflects shared representation in the role.

Variety also links Mollica’s comments to his entry into the MCU, noting his background in stage work and his move into a larger-profile screen role through “VisionQuest.” While the outlets differ in how much context they add—such as casting framing versus broader career and production setting—they all report the same core message from Mollica: that portraying a bisexual Marvel hero is a validating experience for him as a bisexual actor.
