VisionQuest’s post-credits scene brings back Scarlet Witch — and Doctor Doom wants her power

For those keeping up with the never-ending tangle of Marvel timelines, VisionQuest just delivered its own headline-grabbing post-credits scene, marking the last stop before Avengers: Doomsday steamrolls its way into cinemas. If you remember the way Black Panther set up Infinity War with Bucky's return, this one pulls a similar move, but it's Wanda Maximoff in the hot seat this time.

Doctor Doom's chilling words in the post-credits: 'Scarlet Witch, awaken. Your power will be mine.'

A Sinister Wake-Up Call

The final sequence doesn't bother teasing a heroic comeback. Instead, we get a deeply ominous set-up. The series revisits the end of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (yes, that’s four years ago now), when Wanda supposedly buried herself under Mount Wundagore. Now, the new tag scene finds Doctor Doom himself pulling the wreckage off Wanda and demanding her return. If you thought Marvel was going to pull its punches with this phase, well, this is your warning shot. It’s the sort of callback that makes fans of the comics perk up, especially given Wanda and Doom's messy history on the page.

VisionQuest's post-credits scene plunges Wanda straight into Doom's clutches for the final build-up to Avengers: Doomsday.

What It Means for Doomsday

This isn’t just a bit of fan service; Wanda’s return is a proper earthquake for the MCU’s power balance. We’re in officially uncharted territory now—the comics give us a rough roadmap, but Marvel's film division like to toss out the map and drive where they fancy.

• Wanda teams up with Doctor Doom (that’s bad news for team Avengers, especially heavy-hitters like Thor)
• The set-up echoes Avengers: The Children’s Crusade, where Billy and Tommy try to save their mother from Doom’s clutches (she was amnesiac and engaged to him, as you do)
• With Wanda reactivated, there’s scope for Vision, Billy, and Tommy to all rally for a rescue, potentially adding a full four extra heavyweights to the crowded Doomsday line-up
• Wild theories are swirling—maybe Latverian Witches are going to get in on the action, and there’s chatter about Clea (Charlize Theron) or Rio (Aubrey Plaza) getting involved, but that’s speculative at best (Marvel security is as tight as ever)

Wanda Maximoff returns to the MCU after a four-year absence, setting up Avengers: Doomsday.

Bigger Universe, Bigger Stakes

The bottom line: Wanda Maximoff is back, right as Avengers: Doomsday looms. That alone has the MCU fandom losing its collective mind, and honestly, it’s one of the best gambits Marvel’s pulled for interweaving its TV and film arms since WandaVision. If Marvel’s trying to glue its multiverse saga together into something with a bit more cohesion, hitching Wanda’s comeback to Doom’s machinations is as good a place as any to start. More Infinity Saga faces, more comic lore to plunder, and—let’s be honest—a real boost to the Doomsday hype machine.
