VisionQuest Finale Teases Scarlet Witch Return and Doctor Doom in Avengers Doomsday
“Scarlet Witch, awaken — your power will be mine,” a hooded figure tells Wanda Maximoff in a surprise post-credits sequence.
The Disney+ series “VisionQuest” concluded its run with an episode titled “Forever,” bringing the “WandaVision” saga to a close while setting up a major collision for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In the finale, the synthezoid Vision reunites with his and Wanda Maximoff’s grown-up sons, Tommy and Billy Maximoff, played by Ruaridh Mollica and Joe Locke respectively, according to Variety.
The final moments then replay the conclusion of 2022’s feature film “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” where Elizabeth Olsen’s character eradicated the Darkhold across the multiverse before apparently perishing beneath collapsing rock.
This time, the scene extends further.
Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom removes the rubble from atop Wanda at Wundagore mountain and addresses her directly, as Deadline reported.
The coda confirms long-standing speculation that the Scarlet Witch will return as the heroes face off against Doom in “Avengers: Doomsday,” out Dec. 18.
Wanda is not the only high-profile prisoner Doom has gathered, as Variety said that a newly added post-credits scene in “Avengers Endgame: Encore” showed Doom kidnapping the Hulk, played by Mark Ruffalo.
Ahead of the finale, Marvel tweeted a message written in binary code that fans quickly decoded.
The series of zeros and ones translated to a line from the 2021 show’s finale: “We could never truly leave each other, even if we tried.”
That broadcast foreshadowed the family reunion that ultimately played out on screen between Vision and their children.
Despite the explicit tease of her return, Elizabeth Olsen has previously expressed a lack of inside knowledge regarding her character’s future.
“I don’t know what’s going on. It’s safer for me to not know anything because then I can’t make a mistake in a situation like this. I rather know nothing,” she told Yahoo News.
When asked by Variety in 2022 whether she hoped to play Wanda again, Olsen sounded optimistic while admitting nobody had officially contacted her at that time.
“It’s weird that I’m expecting to return, but no one’s told me I’m doing anything!” she said with a laugh, Variety reported.
“But in my mind, I’m just making the assumption that they’ll have me again. I don’t know to what capacity, but I hope I’m back. I hope there’s also more fun to be had in something different,” she told Variety.
