VisionQuest Finale Brings Back Scarlet Witch as Doctor Doom Sets Up Avengers: Doomsday
VisionQuest Finale Brings Back Scarlet Witch as Doctor Doom Sets Up Avengers: Doomsday
Warning: this article contains major spoilers for the VisionQuest season finale.
The VisionQuest finale, episode 8, “Forever,” is now streaming on Disney+, and it ends with a post-credits scene that brings back Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch — pulled from the rubble of Mount Wundagore by Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom — in a direct setup for Avengers: Doomsday, which arrives in theaters on December 18.
What happens in the post-credits scenes
The finale has two post-credits scenes. The first stays close to home: Ultron, who survived the finale by hiding in a few leftover nanobots, is now living in the Horton mansion, holding a drive labeled “Jocasta” with her code on it.
The second scene is the bombshell. It replays the climax of 2022’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, when Wanda Maximoff buried herself under the rubble of Mount Wundagore to destroy the Darkhold. This time the footage keeps going: green energy lifts the rubble away, and a hooded Doctor Doom stands over her. “Scarlet Witch, awaken. Your power will be mine,” he says. Wanda gasps and opens her eyes.
The moment lands because the episode itself asks the question. Earlier in “Forever,” Tommy Shepherd asks his father, Vision, whether they will ever see their mother again. The post-credits scene answers it — though not in the way Tommy would have hoped. The episode, written and directed by showrunner Terry Matalas, also reunites Tommy with his brother Billy, closing the family story that began with WandaVision in 2021 and continued through Agatha All Along in 2024.
Why this matters
VisionQuest is the final Marvel project before Avengers: Doomsday, and its closing scene points Wanda squarely at the film. The scene strongly suggests she will appear in Doomsday as one of Doom’s forces — reports point to the Latverian witches shown in earlier promotions — though Marvel has not formally announced Olsen in the film’s cast. That distinction matters: the scene is a tease, not a casting announcement, but it ends years of uncertainty about whether Wanda survived the collapse of Wundagore.

The finale also drew the strongest fan response of any Marvel episode on IMDb, according to ScreenRant, which reported that it set an MCU record on the site, with more than 3,200 ratings counted at the time of its report. All eight episodes of VisionQuest are now streaming on Disney+.
The finale landed on a big entertainment day that also saw the Coachella 2027 lineup revealed, and streaming premieres have been a theme of the week, with The Rings of Power Season 3 arriving on Prime Video with four episodes at once.
