‘VisionQuest’: Wanda Returns In Shocking Post-Credits Reveal

VisionQuest, the official conclusion to the WandaVision trilogy of shows, aired its finale Tuesday night— which itself was a worthwhile ending to the 5 year spanning storyline, but the most talked about moment wasn’t anything in the episode itself, but rather something saved until the very last moment. In the post credit scene of the VisionQuest finale, it is revealed that Elizabeth Olsen has returned as Wanda Maximoff herself to the MCU.

The scene plays out the final moments of Wanda in 2022’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness which saw her sacrifice herself by destroying the Darkhold temple on Mount Wundagore, and by extension, every copy of the cursed book in existence. A noble sacrifice for the fallen heroine seeking some redemption. 

The clip fades to black before we hear the rumble of boulders, one of which lifts up revealing none other than Doctor Doom himself played by Robert Downey Jr. The villain of the forthcoming Avengers: Doomsday film drowns the lifeless body of Wanda in green light and tells her to “awaken” and that he requires her powers to which her eyes snap open, revealing that The Scarlet Witch is alive once more.

Elizabeth Olsen wasn’t included in the initial cast reveal for Avengers: Doomsday, but fan theories have been swirling for months about the character’s return. This frenzy of speculation was only intensified when Marvel revealed the Latverian Witch characters at SDCC earlier this year, prompting fans to assume (seemingly correctly) that Wanda would be on Team Doom for the film.

Fans can now breathe a sigh of relief now that the big question of Wanda’s fate has been answered.

All episodes of VisionQuest are now streaming on Disney+. Avengers: Doomsday will hit theaters on December 18th.
