What does VisionQuest’s amazing post-credits scene mean for Avengers: Doomsday?

The last episode, uploaded this Wednesday on Disney+, includes a huge surprise that will delight MCU fans…

It was VisionQuest’s best kept secret.

Even the press was not allowed to see the sequence in the screeners distributed at the end of the summer to journalists around the world. And for good reason: the Disney+ series ends today with a post-credits scene that will be talked about until Avengers: Doosmday…

Spoiler alert!

While Marvel fans had never really given up on the idea of ​​seeing Wanda Maximoff arrive in VisionQuest, she has just proven them right with a post-credits scene directly connected to Doom. And the surprise is big: Victor von Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) comes to wake up the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), who we thought was dead since Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (released in 2022 in cinemas).

The sequence returns to the collapse of Mount Wundagore, caused by itself at the end of the film. We discover that Doom came to rescue her from the rubble burying her body. He proclaims in a peremptory tone: “Red Witch, wake up. Your power will be mine.”

Wanda suddenly opens her eyes. She’s back. She will be there for Avengers: Doomsday, expected in theaters on December 16 in France.

And obviously, she’ll be on the bad guy’s side. Wanda will not, a priori, be the only one to have fallen into the clutches of Doom. In a new post-credits scene added to Avengers Endgame: Encore, we saw the future MCU villain remove Hulk (Mark Ruffalo). Enough to imagine a real collection of powerful superheroes gathered around Victor von Doom.

Marvel had started playing on the nerves of its fans even before the VisionQuest finale aired.

The studio published a binary-coded message last night on X, quickly deciphered by Internet users. Once translated, it revealed a sentence taken from the last episode of WandaVision, broadcast in 2021: “We could never really leave each other, even if we tried.” A nice nod that now takes on its full meaning.

This post-credit scene with enormous consequences also echoes the final moments of VisionQuest.

The series finale orchestrates the family reunion between Tommy (Ruaridh Mollica), his brother Billy (Joe Locke) and their father Vision (Paul Bettany). At one point, Tommy asks Vision if they will ever see their mother again. “We could say hello again,” he replies. A line which obviously takes on a whole new dimension after the post-credits scene.

Fans of Marvel comics will also see a possible nod to Children’s Crusade, a story arc dedicated to the Young Avengers, this team of young superheroes including Billy and Tommy Maximoff. In this story, Billy develops magical powers capable of modifying reality, like those of his mother. Worried about her potential, the Avengers push the two brothers to go looking for Wanda, who has been missing for a long time. And Victor von Doom plays an important role in this quest. It remains to be seen which direction Marvel will choose for its adaptation. The scene could in particular suggest that Doom intends to exploit the powers of the Scarlet Witch to achieve his ends. Some fans even imagine that Wanda could be hiding among the mysterious witches of Latveria seen in the promotion of the film.

Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, Avengers: Doomsday will see multiple realities from the Marvel multiverse collide. The heroes of the Fantastic Four, the X-Men and the Avengers from different dimensions will have to unite against the threat. As for whether other VisionQuest characters will be there, nothing has been officially confirmed. Anthony Mackie (Sam Wilson), however, recently revealed “having spent time with Paul Bettany who I adore…”
