Marvel’s latest Disney+ series, VisionQuest, has delivered a major surprise for Marvel Cinematic Universe fans. The eighth and final episode features a post-credits scene that revisits Wanda Maximoff’s apparent death in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and hints at her return as the Scarlet Witch in Avengers: Doomsday.
The scene also brings Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom into the story, revealing a possible connection between the powerful villain and Wanda. Although Marvel has not separately announced Elizabeth Olsen’s casting in Avengers: Doomsday, the sequence strongly signals that the Scarlet Witch could play an important role in the upcoming film.
VisionQuest Post-Credits Scene Shows Doctor Doom Finding Wanda
The new sequence revisits the ending of 2022’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. In the film, Wanda travels to Mount Wundagore, where she destroys the shrine dedicated to the Scarlet Witch and brings the mountain down on herself.
Before the collapse, Wanda tells Doctor Strange, “No one will ever be tempted by the Darkhold again.” She then uses her powers to destroy every version of the Darkhold across the multiverse, apparently sacrificing herself in the process.
The VisionQuest post-credits scene picks up from that moment. As the rubble of Mount Wundagore lies scattered across the landscape, a massive rock begins to rise. The camera reveals Victor Von Doom, played by Downey Jr., using his powers to move the debris.
Doom then approaches Wanda’s apparently lifeless body and delivers a chilling command: “Scarlet Witch, awaken… your power will be mine.”
Green energy moves towards Wanda as Doom appears to attempt to harness her abilities. Moments later, the Scarlet Witch suddenly opens her eyes and gasps. The scene ends, leaving her fate and Doom’s intentions as major questions for the next chapter of the MCU.
The reveal is significant because Wanda’s apparent death had left her future in the franchise uncertain. The new footage now provides a direct indication that she survived the collapse of Mount Wundagore, while introducing Doctor Doom as someone who may have plans for her extraordinary magical abilities.
Could Scarlet Witch Be Connected to Doctor Doom’s Plans?
The post-credits scene does not explain exactly why Doom wants Wanda or what he intends to do with her powers. However, his dialogue makes one thing clear: he sees the Scarlet Witch’s abilities as something he wants to possess.
This could have major implications for Avengers: Doomsday, particularly as the film brings together heroes from different corners of the Marvel universe to face a major threat. Wanda’s ability to manipulate reality and influence the multiverse could make her a significant figure in the conflict.
The sequence has also fuelled speculation about whether Wanda could be connected to the mysterious witches associated with Doom in the upcoming film. That possibility remains unconfirmed, and Marvel has not revealed how the character’s storyline will develop beyond the post-credits tease.
There is another important connection within VisionQuest itself. The finale brings Vision closer to his sons, Billy and Tommy Maximoff. Their reunion, combined with the final scene involving Wanda, leaves the possibility of a larger family storyline open for the future.
Doctor Doom Has Also Been Shown Collecting Bruce Banner
Wanda is not the only Marvel character whose future appears to be connected to Doctor Doom. A separate post-credits sequence associated with the theatrical re-release Avengers: Endgame Encore also features Downey Jr.’s villain approaching Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner.
In that scene, Banner is inside a secure underground facility after experiencing another Hulk transformation. While recording a video about a gamma suppression serum, he is interrupted by Doom, who appears through a teleportation effect.
Doom tells him, “Mr. Banner, I’m here to collect you.” The encounter prompts Banner to transform into the Hulk, setting up another potential confrontation involving the villain.
Together, the two scenes suggest that Doom could be gathering powerful individuals for a larger plan. However, the exact purpose behind his interest in Wanda and Banner has not yet been revealed.
