SPOILER WARNING: This article contains major spoilers for the VisionQuest season finale, including its post-credits scenes.

Well, Marvel certainly saved a big surprise for the end of VisionQuest! The Disney+ series has concluded with a shocking post-credits scene that brings Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff, better known as the Scarlet Witch, back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And she’s not alone, with Robert Downey Jr. making an appearance as Doctor Doom, setting up a potentially huge storyline for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.

The eight-part series, starring Paul Bettany as Vision, has followed the android Avenger as he attempts to recover his memories and discover who he really is following the events of WandaVision. The finale, released in the UK on Wednesday 11 November, brings his story to an emotional conclusion, with the return of his sons Billy and Tommy and a final confrontation with Ultron. However, it’s those last few moments after the credits that have left Marvel fans with plenty of questions.

What Happens in the VisionQuest Post-Credits Scene?

The final scene takes viewers back to the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, where Wanda was last seen bringing Mount Wundagore crashing down around herself after destroying the Darkhold.

At the time, it appeared that Wanda had sacrificed herself, although Marvel never fully confirmed her death. Fans have spent the past four years wondering whether the Scarlet Witch survived, and now VisionQuest has finally given us an answer.

The scene revisits Wanda’s apparent death beneath the rubble, but this time the story continues. Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr., arrives and uses his powers to uncover Wanda’s body. “Scarlet Witch, awaken. Your power will be mine,” he commands. And just like that, Wanda opens her eyes and gasps, confirming that Elizabeth Olsen is officially back in the MCU.

But what exactly does Doom want with Wanda? Judging by his words, he doesn’t have her best interests at heart, and with her incredible magical powers, it’s easy to see why he might want her on his side. Just what he’s planning to do with those powers remains to be seen.

Does Scarlet Witch’s Return Set Up Avengers: Doomsday?

With Avengers: Doomsday arriving in cinemas next month, Wanda’s return raises some big questions about her possible role in the film. Robert Downey Jr. is already confirmed to play Doctor Doom, but Elizabeth Olsen has yet to be officially announced as part of the cast. The VisionQuest post-credits scene strongly suggests she’ll be involved, although Marvel has yet to confirm what role Wanda will play or whether she’ll be working with Doom willingly.

One possibility involves the mysterious Latverian witches previously teased in Avengers: Doomsday promotional material. Fans have already speculated that Wanda could be connected to the group, and Doom’s interest in her powers will no doubt add to those theories.

There’s also a possible connection to Marvel’s Avengers: The Children’s Crusade comics, which follow Billy and Tommy as they search for their missing mother. Doctor Doom plays an important role in that storyline too, raising questions about whether the MCU could be borrowing elements from the comics for its next major Avengers film.

For now, we know that Wanda has returned and Doctor Doom wants her powers. What happens next, and whether the Scarlet Witch will be an ally or an enemy when Doomsday arrives, remains to be seen.

What Else Happened in the VisionQuest Finale?

Away from the post-credits surprise, the finale also delivered some major developments for Vision and his family. The episode reveals that James Spader’s mysterious human character is Virgil Horton, the grandson of Phineas Horton, whose work helped establish the foundations of artificial intelligence in the MCU. Virgil was responsible for rebuilding Vision after the events of Avengers: Endgame, but restoring the android was only part of his plan.

Virgil also created Jocasta (T’Nia Miller), using the consciousness of his late wife, Josephine Carrington, and hopes to transfer his own mind into Vision’s body. His ultimate goal involves using billions of nanobots to control humanity, believing that removing people’s free will could bring peace to the world.

Things take a deadly turn when Virgil shoots Jocasta, prompting Ultron to kill him and prepare an attack on London. Vision eventually manages to stop Ultron by trapping him inside a simulated sitcom world, where the two confront their complicated relationship and the grief Ultron feels over losing Jocasta.

The confrontation ends with Ultron abandoning his plan, and Vision allows him to leave, believing he deserves another chance. A further credits scene suggests that Jocasta’s story might not be finished either, with Ultron still possessing her source code.

However, one of the finale’s biggest moments comes when Vision finally reunites with his sons. Tommy, played by Ruaridh Mollica, is joined by his twin brother Billy, played by Joe Locke, bringing the three members of the Maximoff family together.

With Vision reunited with Billy and Tommy, the brothers wonder whether Wanda might still be alive. Vision reminds them that they’ve said goodbye before, only to find each other again. And as the post-credits scene reveals, another family reunion could be on the cards, although Doctor Doom might have other plans.

For CultureCues, WOW, what a finale! We absolutely loved this episode, and those final twists were brilliant. As huge Marvel fans, we’ve been waiting years to find out what happened to Wanda after Multiverse of Madness, so seeing Elizabeth Olsen back as the Scarlet Witch had us SO excited! We also loved Vision’s reunion with Billy and Tommy, and now we’re desperately hoping the whole family will finally be reunited. Although, with Doctor Doom involved, we’re a little worried about what he has planned for Wanda. And Robert Downey Jr. showing up in that post-credits scene?! What a surprise! We’re already counting down the days until Avengers: Doomsday, and after this finale, December really can’t come soon enough. We need answers, Marvel!

All eight episodes of VisionQuest are now available to stream on Disney+. Avengers: Doomsday arrives in UK cinemas on Wednesday 16 December 2026.
