Marvel has delivered another surprise in the final moments of VisionQuest, with a post-credits scene establishing a new connection to the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, Variety reports.

The twist arrives after the series concludes its main storyline, introducing a development that could reshape the MCU ahead of the December 18 release of Avengers: Doomsday.

Warning: Major spoilers for the VisionQuest finale follow.

The scene returns to Mount Wundagore, where Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen, seemingly died in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022).

Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom appears among the ruins and removes the rubble covering Wanda.

«Scarlet Witch, awaken. Your power will be mine,» Doom tells her.

Wanda opens her eyes as green energy surrounds her, revealing that she survived the mountain’s collapse.

The sequence was reportedly withheld from advance screeners, keeping the surprise hidden until the finale’s release.

Will she return in Avengers: Doomsday?

The reveal comes ahead of Avengers: Doomsday, scheduled for December 18, 2026. Marvel has not separately confirmed Olsen’s involvement in the film, although the scene connects Scarlet Witch directly to its main villain.

The development also resembles elements of the Marvel comic Avengers: The Children’s Crusade, in which Wanda’s sons, Billy and Tommy, search for their missing mother and encounter Doctor Doom.

The VisionQuest finale brings the brothers, played by Joe Locke and Ruaridh Mollica, together with their father Vision, portrayed by Paul Bettany.

When Tommy asks whether they might see Wanda again, Vision leaves open the possibility of a reunion.

Series creator Terry Matalas told TheWrap that Wanda’s return had been discussed during production, but the writers did not want her appearance to overshadow Vision’s story.

«When you introduce Wanda again, it needs to be her story,» Matalas explained.

Olsen previously said that she knew nothing about Marvel’s plans for the next Avengers films.
