UPDATE: In the screeners sent out to critics, there was only one post-credits scene. However, with Avengers: Doomsday set to arrive in theaters next month, a second stinger was secretly added that does feature the Scarlet Witch, and you can see it here.
Marvel Studios may have thrown out pre-prepared spoiler coverage a curveball, but boy, that's on heck of a surprise, eh? Wanda Maximoff lives!
In WandaVision, Wanda Maximoff created her own artificial reality in Westview to cope with Vision's death, unwittingly trapping its residents in her spell. Within the sitcom world she'd dreamed up, the Avenger created a family with the "Hex" Vision and their twin sons, Billy and Tommy. Eventually, Wanda freed the townspeople and discovered she was the Scarlet Witch, a being of immense magical power.
In Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Wanda had become corrupted by Agatha Harkness' Darkhold and sought to reunite with her children by seeking them out in another universe. Her pursuit of America Chavez put her at odds with Doctor Strange, and after realising the error of her ways, Wanda seemingly sacrificed herself by destroying Mount Wundagore and every copy of the Darkhold across the Multiverse.
Agatha All Along revealed that Wanda's son Billy had survived through reincarnation, taking over the body of William Kaplan after his death. Now possessing powerful magical abilities, Billy set out to find his twin brother Tommy. Agatha, who returned as a ghost after dying, agreed to help him, and the season finale of VisionQuest finally reunites the twins.
Agatha doesn't appear on screen; instead, Billy talks to her off-camera while lamenting his struggles with creating a doorway to teleport through. However, she's clearly still serving as a mentor to the young Wiccan.
In the VisionQuest finale, a clash with Ultron leads to Billy and Tommy combining their powers to save Vision's life. Before the trio meet up in New Jersey, Tommy asks his father whether they'll see Wanda again, to which the android points out that, as they've said goodbye before, it stands to reason they will say hello again.
It's a nice nod to their farewell in WandaVision, but that's it. The Scarlet Witch does not physically appear in VisionQuest's season finale, though this exchange between father and son certainly leaves the door open to her having survived her ultimate sacrifice beneath Mount Wundagore.
Elizabeth Olsen is expected to make her MCU return in Avengers: Doomsday next month, where she'll likely have fallen under the control of Doctor Doom. With Vision now reunited with Wiccan and Speed, VisionQuest has perfectly set the stage for a family reunion and for this trio to save Wanda from the machinations of Victor Von Doom.
In VisionQuest, Vision, rebooted and having escaped from those who sought to weaponise him, has been in hiding. Searching for new meaning, he consults the AI personas embedded in his programming, including F.R.I.D.A.Y., E.D.I.T.H., J.A.R.V.I.S., and the infamous Ultron.
His discreet existence ends when a bounty placed on his head thrusts him on the run with Thomas Shepard, a mysterious boy who may be Vision's son, reincarnated. As Vision evades capture, he must confront his nature, resist Ultron's influence, and unravel the enigma that is his young companion if he’s to survive.
VisionQuest stars Paul Bettany, James Spader, Ruaridh Mollica, Todd Stashwick, T'Nia Miller, Lauren Morais, Orla Brady, Diane Morgan, Polly Frame, Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, with Emily Hampshire and James D'Arcy.
In our full season review, we concluded, "Paul Bettany and James Spader are masterful in VisionQuest, a staggering achievement by Marvel Studios and Terry Matalas that understands its characters, does right by them, and delivers one of the best MCU stories ever told."
VisionQuest is now streaming on Disney+.
