Scarlet Witch Reappears in Doom's Hands After VisionQuest Post-Credits Scene

The finale of the series VisionQuest contains a post-credits scene that confirms the return of Scarlet Witch in upcoming Avengers films. The character, whose fate had remained unknown for more than four years, appears in a short teaser that became the biggest surprise for the series' viewers.

The scene returns viewers to the ending of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. In that film, Wanda destroyed Darkhold, the book of dark magic, and seemingly sacrificed herself. Her subsequent fate remained unexplained all this time. In the new scene, Doctor Doom lifts the debris from above Wanda and says that her power will now be his. Doom's voiceover ends with Wanda's eyes snapping open in shock. It is this final detail that raises the question of how the character survived and whose hands she is now in.

The scene was not included in the materials given to reviewers and was kept secret until its airing. That is why its appearance came as a surprise even to those who had followed the project closely. For the series' audience, this was a rare case where the main plot twist was saved for the very end rather than revealed in advance.

The teaser directly links the character's return to Avengers: Doomsday, a film that, according to plan, is set to be released next month. The plot of this film, according to available information, is built around a collision of worlds through so-called "incursions," when parallel universes overlap with one another. At the same time, Doom's motives and his full plan remain largely unknown, and the teaser does not explain why Wanda ended up in his captivity.

Doom already has connections to other characters in the franchise. After the events of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, he kidnapped the Hulk. In The Fantastic Four: First Steps, he reached for the young Franklin Richards, but whether Doom actually took the boy remains unclear. Franklin has not yet appeared in Doomsday's promotional materials, so his role in the future storyline remains an open question.

Some commentators suggest that Doom is recruiting powerful characters into a force aimed against the Avengers. These suggestions have not been officially confirmed and are based only on what is already known from previous films and series. Wanda is expected to appear in at least one of the upcoming projects, but the studio has not yet announced specific dates for her appearance.

The next major event is expected to be Avengers: Secret Wars, whose premiere is scheduled for next December. Reports indicate that filming of this film has not yet begun, and there is discussion among viewers about a possible postponement of its release to 2028. No official confirmation of such changes has been made, so it remains to wait for the studio's decision, which will determine when the story of Wanda and Doom will continue on the big screen.
