In an unexpected but welcome twist, tonight's epic season finale of VisionQuest featured not one, but TWO post-credits sequences, with the latter setting the stage for next month's highly anticipated Avengers: Doomsday.
While the first stinger set up a potential future for Ultron and Jocasta, the second post-credits teaser—which wasn't provided to critics ahead of tonight's episode—directly ties into the impending Doomsday and confirms the long-awaited return of a major Avenger.
Picking up during the closing moments of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, we're once again forced to bear witness as Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) drops Mount Wundagore on herself in a last-ditch effort to save the world from the power of the Darkhold. However, this time, the scene continues after the mountain tragically collapses on her.
Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) himself makes a shadowy appearance and clears the rubble from Wanda's body, ominously proclaiming, "Your powers will be mine." Wanda's eyes snap open as she gasps for air—and after a four-year hiatus, the Scarlet Witch is alive!
What this means for Avengers: Doomsday remains to be seen, but Doom is certainly assembling quite the team to exact his master plan. Outside of the mysterious Boris and his three Latverian witches, Doom will also seemingly have the Scarlet Witch and Hulk (Mark Ruffalo)—whom he claimed at the end of Spider-Man: Brand New Day—providing him with some major firepower as he takes aim at Earth's Mightiest Heroes, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men.
Olsen's fan-favorite Wanda had long been rumored to return in some capacity for either Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars, but this is our first official confirmation that the Scarlet Witch will indeed have a role to play in the upcoming end of the multiverse. However, whether she'll physically appear in Doomsday or if we won't see her again until Secret Wars remains to be seen. The rumor mill has recently pointed toward her potentially playing a part in Doomsday's third act, but we won't know for sure until December 18.
Plus, if this wasn't exciting enough, Anthony Mackie potentially spoiled Paul Bettany's involvement in the new Avengers film earlier today as well. Could we see Vision reunite with Wanda before the end of the year? Only time will tell!

In our review, we said, "VisionQuest is extraordinary—a brilliantly written and masterfully acted exploration of love, loss, family, grief, and change. It shows us what it means to feel, what it means to be human, and serves as an outstanding thematic capstone to this Wanda and Vision trilogy. Existing on its own terms—unburdened by its past in WandaVision or the franchise’s upcoming December showdown, Avengers: Doomsday—the series is about Vision and Vision alone, showcasing what makes this core Avenger one of the greatest to ever do it."
Marvel Television’s “VisionQuest,” an all-new original series coming exclusively to Disney+ October 14, concludes the epic trilogy that began with 2021’s groundbreaking, award-winning “WandaVision” and 2024’s acclaimed “Agatha All Along.” Vision, rebooted and having escaped from those who sought to weaponize 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 Shepherd, a mysterious boy who may be Vision’s son, reincarnate. 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.
