The finale of VisionQuest didn't just wrap up the WandaVision trilogy—it may have dropped the biggest clue yet about Avengers: Doomsday. After reuniting Vision (Paul Bettany) with his sons Tommy (Ruaridh Mollica) and Billy (Joe Locke), and giving him a poignant farewell with Ultron (James Spader), the series delivered a post-credits scene that left fans reeling.
In that scene, we flash back to the climax of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, where Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) seemingly sacrificed herself to destroy Mount Wundagore. But as the rubble settles, Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) emerges, declaring, "Scarlet Witch, awaken. Your power will be mine." Wanda's eyes snap open, and just like that, the Scarlet Witch is back—and seemingly under Doom's control.
Doom's Master Plan: Collecting the Incursion Culprits
This twist aligns with a growing fan theory that Doom is assembling a specific roster of heroes—or rather, those who have caused reality-threatening incursions. In Avengers: Endgame, Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) used the Infinity Stones to undo Thanos' snap, but the time heist splintered timelines. Wanda's dreamwalking in Multiverse of Madness tore holes in reality. And Peter Parker (Tom Holland) accidentally cracked open the multiverse in Spider-Man: No Way Home, unleashing villains from other worlds.
All three events triggered incursions—cataclysmic collisions between universes that threaten all existence. If Doom's goal is to prevent or control these incursions, it makes sense that he'd target the very people responsible. As Avengers: Doomsday co-director Joe Russo teased, "His interest may extend beyond just Banner." That's putting it mildly.
Recent MCU projects have been laying the groundwork. The Endgame encore on Disney+ included a post-credits battle between Doom and Banner, while Spider-Man: Brand New Day hinted that Peter is no longer on Earth—possibly setting up his involvement in Doomsday or Secret Wars.
What's Next for the Scarlet Witch?
With Wanda poised to appear in both Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, her story arc is far from over. The VisionQuest finale saw Tommy wondering if his mother could return the same way he and Billy did. Comic book readers know the answer lies in Avengers: The Children's Crusade, where the Young Avengers search for a missing Scarlet Witch and clash with Doctor Doom.
That storyline feels ripe for adaptation, especially with so many Young Avengers already introduced across the MCU. A younger team would offer a fresh dynamic against the veteran Avengers. Plus, in current comics, Wanda has become the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth after a run-in with Doom's arrogance—a perfect way to reintegrate her into the MCU post-Doomsday.
For now, fans can stream VisionQuest on Disney+ and speculate wildly. Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters December 18, 2026. If this post-credits scene is any indication, the Scarlet Witch's resurrection is just the beginning of Doom's twisted game.
