VisionQuest has ended its eight-episode run on Disney+, and the finale delivered a post-credits scene that changes the road to Avengers: Doomsday. The moment answers a question fans have asked since 2022: what happened to Wanda Maximoff after Mount Wundagore collapsed on her in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The answer is Doctor Doom, and the scene quietly confirms that Wanda is one of the masked Latverian Witches set to stand beside him.
The finale first brings the Maximoff family back together on the heroic side. Vision, Billy, and Tommy share the screen as a family for the first time since WandaVision, and the episode closes with the trio flying off to New Jersey to start a new chapter. Wanda is absent from that reunion. The post-credits scene explains why she is not there, and where she has been.
The Post-Credits Scene Brings Doom Into the Story
The stinger replays the final moments of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Wanda brings down the temple of the Scarlet Witch and the mountain with it, destroying every copy of the Darkhold across the multiverse. The screen goes black, as it did in the film, but the scene continues.
Rubble begins to lift. A cloaked figure pulls the debris away with magic and finds Wanda’s body beneath the wreckage. Robert Downey Jr. speaks in a Latverian accent as Doctor Doom. His line is direct: “Scarlet Witch, awaken. Your power will be mine.” Wanda opens her eyes, and the scene cuts to black.

The scene was not included in press screeners sent out ahead of the finale, so the stinger caught critics and viewers by surprise. Doom’s words do two things at once. They confirm that Elizabeth Olsen is back in the MCU as Wanda, and they tie her directly to the Latverian Witches seen in Avengers: Doomsday marketing material.
The Three Witches and the Orange Robe
Promotional art and posters for Avengers: Doomsday have shown Doom standing beside a trio of masked figures in different coloured robes. One wears purple, one wears blue, and one wears a burnt orange or red-toned robe. Marvel has not officially named the three witches, but the VisionQuest stinger gives the strongest clue so far.
Wanda’s connection to the red or scarlet colour has been part of her character since she became the Scarlet Witch. The orange-robed figure in the Doomsday art lines up with the idea that Wanda is the third witch beside Doom. Fan theories have pointed to Clea, played by Charlize Theron, and Sylvie, played by Sophia Di Martino, as the other two witches. Neither of those names has been confirmed by Marvel.
The comics give the setup a clear shape. In Avengers: The Children’s Crusade, Wanda goes missing after a mental break, and Billy and Tommy search for her. They find her in Latveria, living in Castle Doom with no memory of her past, under Victor’s influence while he draws on her power. VisionQuest has spent its whole season bringing Billy and Tommy back together, which makes that comic story a natural next step.
The Finale Ends With the Maximoff Family Reunited
The main story of VisionQuest episode 8 resolves the conflict between Vision and Ultron. The mysterious Client is revealed as Virgil Horton, the grandson of Phineas Horton, the scientist behind the original synthetic human. Virgil wants to put his own mind into Vision’s body and use nanobots to turn humanity into obedient machines.
Tommy arrives at speed and destroys the remote controlling Vision, Jocasta, and Ultron. Jocasta is shot with adamantium bullets and appears to die in Ultron’s arms. Ultron breaks free and crushes Virgil to death. Vision traps Ultron inside a sitcom-style mindscape called UltraVision, and Ultron eventually deletes himself from Vision’s memory banks.
Billy portals in and helps Tommy bring their father back online. The nanobots are shut down before they reach London. In the aftermath, Vision, Tommy, Billy, and Paladin decide to become bounty givers rather than bounty hunters. They take a private jet to Jersey to meet Billy.
Tommy asks Vision whether the family might see Wanda again. Vision’s answer leaves the door open: “It stands to reason” given how many times the family has said goodbye and come back. The post-credits scene then shows that Wanda is alive, but she is not free.
What the Scene Means for Avengers: Doomsday
Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on December 17, 2026. The film will bring Robert Downey Jr. back to the MCU as Doctor Doom, a different role from the Tony Stark he played across the Iron Man and Avengers films. The VisionQuest stinger is the first time Downey has appeared on screen as Doom.
Doom’s line suggests two possibilities for Wanda. He could be planning to drain her power for himself, or he could be keeping her alive as a servant under his control. Either way, the scene places Wanda on the opposite side of her own children heading into Doomsday. Billy and Tommy are now young adults in new bodies, and they are both operating on the side of the heroes.

The Children’s Crusade connection gives the emotional stakes a sharp edge. In the comic story, Billy and Tommy are the ones who find Wanda and try to bring her back. If Doomsday follows that path, the Maximoff twins could be walking into Latveria to face a mother who does not remember them.
Doom’s broader plan in the MCU is still taking shape. Spider-Man: Brand New Day‘s post-credits scene showed Spider-Man seemingly teleported away from Earth-616, and Avengers: Endgame: Encore established that Doom has also captured The Hulk. The VisionQuest stinger adds Wanda to that list of figures Doom has taken an interest in. Whether she is a prisoner, a weapon, or a willing ally remains the open question at the centre of Avengers: Doomsday.
How Fans Are Reacting to the Scarlet Witch Return
Social media reaction has centred on two things: the surprise of the scene and the return of Elizabeth Olsen. The stinger was kept out of press screeners, so viewers who watched the finale on release day had no warning that Doom would appear.
Fan discussion has focused on the orange robe in the Doomsday art and whether it confirms Wanda as the third witch. Theories about Clea and Sylvie as the other two witches have continued to circulate, though Marvel has not confirmed either casting.

The Children’s Crusade comparison has also become a major talking point. Readers of the comic run have pointed out that the VisionQuest finale puts Billy and Tommy in almost exactly the position they occupy at the start of that story: together, searching for a mother who is missing and in Doom’s hands.
Reaction to VisionQuest as a whole has been positive. Fans have praised Paul Bettany and James Spader for their work as Vision and Ultron, and the finale’s family reunion has been called a fitting close to the WandaVision trilogy. The post-credits scene has added a new layer to that ending by showing that the Maximoff story is not finished.
VisionQuest is now streaming on Disney+ in the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, India, and other markets where the platform operates. Avengers: Doomsday is set for release on December 17, 2026.
