A post-credits scene shows a figure that appears to be Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom lifting rubble off the Scarlet Witch.
VisionQuest's Season 1 finale, "Forever", ends with a post-credits scene that ties into Avengers: Doomsday. In it, a hooded figure that appears to be Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom lifts the rubble off Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch played by Elizabeth Olsen. The film is due in theaters on Dec. 18.
The scene returns to the end of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), where Wanda is seemingly crushed under Wundagore mountain. Doom tells her, "Scarlet Witch, awaken - your power will be mine," and Wanda gasps and opens her eyes.
The finale also brings Vision (Paul Bettany) back together with his sons, Tommy (Ruaridh Mollica) and Billy (Joe Locke). In one scene, Tommy asked Vision if they would ever see their mother again. Vision said they "might say hello again."
Ahead of the finale, Marvel posted a message in binary code that translated to: "We could never truly leave each other, even if we tried." The line comes from the 2021 WandaVision finale, where Wanda said it to Tommy and Billy.
Entertainment Weekly points to the comic arc Children's Crusade, which involves the Young Avengers, a team of younger heroes that includes Billy and Tommy Maximoff. In that story, the brothers seek out their long-absent mother, and Doom is involved.
Variety notes that Doom also kidnapped the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) in a newly added post-credits scene of Avengers Endgame: Encore.
Asked about her character's possible return in March, Olsen said: "I rather know nothing."
In 2022, when Variety asked whether she hoped to play Wanda again, Olsen said:
"It's weird that I'm expecting to return, but no one's told me I'm doing anything!"
Entertainment Weekly says the post-credits scene appears to confirm that Olsen will return as Wanda in Avengers: Doomsday, while Deadline says it seems to hint at her return.
The scene was not in the screeners sent to press before the finale. Asked by Entertainment Weekly whether the timing with the film was a coincidence, showrunner Terry Matalas said "absolutely". "We had no idea that we would be sandwiched in between Spider-Man and Avengers," Matalas said in an interview conducted in late October.
It is unclear, in an official capacity, whether more VisionQuest actors will return for the film.
