VisionQuest Finale Teases Scarlet Witch's Return in Post-Credits Scene
Confirmed
In Short: The VisionQuest finale includes a post-credits scene hinting at Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch returning in Avengers: Doomsday.
The finale of Disney+'s 'VisionQuest' has teased a significant return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) with a post-credits scene featuring Doctor Doom. In the scene, Robert Downey Jr.'s character raises the rubble of Wundagore Mountain, where Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) seemingly killed herself in 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness'.
The post-credits scene shows Doctor Doom approaching Wanda's corpse and saying, 'Scarlet Witch, awaken.' This moment sets up a major twist for MCU fans, as it suggests Olsen's character will return in 'Avengers: Doomsday', which is set to premiere on December 17, 2026.
ComicBookMovie.com editor Drew Nichols has hinted at 'more than one surprise' in the post-credits scene, fueling speculation among fans. Other rumored appearances include Billy Maximoff (Joe Locke) and 'Ghost' Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn), though Olsen herself has remained tight-lipped about her character's future in the MCU.
VisionQuest, a spin-off and sequel to WandaVision, has garnered praise for its character-driven narrative and emotional depth. The series has focused less on spectacle and more on the personal journeys of its characters, particularly Wanda Maximoff and her family.
The finale episode, titled 'Forever', concludes the WandaVision trilogy on an emotional note, leaving viewers with a cliffhanger that ties into the upcoming 'Avengers: Doomsday'. The scene's inclusion suggests that Marvel Studios is setting up a significant storyline for the Scarlet Witch's return.
In March, Olsen had said, 'I know nothing' when asked about her character's potential return, maintaining Marvel's tradition of secrecy. However, the post-credits scene in VisionQuest now provides a strong indication that Scarlet Witch will indeed return in 'Avengers: Doomsday'.
The post-credits scene also features other characters from the MCU, including J.A.R.V.I.S. (James D'Arcy), E.D.I.T.H. (Emily Hampshire), and D.U.M.-E. (Henry Lewis), among others. These appearances further underscore the interconnected nature of the MCU and the potential for more crossovers in future films.
What this adds
The post-credits scene in VisionQuest provides a strong indication of Scarlet Witch's return in 'Avengers: Doomsday', despite Olsen's previous reluctance to discuss her character's future.
