Marvel has finally given fans a new clue about what happened to Wanda Maximoff, and the reveal comes in the finale of VisionQuest.
The Disney+ series, which arrived on 10 November 2026, ends with a post-credits scene showing Doctor Doom finding the Scarlet Witch and asking her to awaken. That scene could be an important link to Avengers: Doomsday, which is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on 18 December 2026.
It also gives fans a reason to wonder whether Elizabeth Olsen will return as Wanda. More importantly, why does Doom need her, and what does he plan to do with her powers? Is he looking for an ally, or does he see her as a weapon?
VisionQuest is available on Disney+, with subscription prices varying by country.

What happens in VisionQuest’s post-credits scene?
The final episode, titled Forever, revisits the ending of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. In the 2022 film, Wanda brought down Mount Wundagore on herself after destroying the Darkhold, leaving her fate uncertain.
The new footage picks up from that moment. Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr., arrives at the ruins and uses his powers to lift the rubble covering Wanda. He then tells her, “Scarlet Witch, awaken. Your power will be mine.” Wanda opens her eyes, suggesting that she has survived and that Doom intends to claim her abilities.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the scene was kept out of the advance episodes sent to critics, making it a surprise even for journalists who had watched the finale early.
Why does Doctor Doom want Wanda’s powers?
The wording of Doom’s command is important. He does not simply find Wanda and bring her back; he immediately makes it clear that he wants something from her. That could mean he sees her chaos magic as a tool for his plans, particularly as Avengers: Doomsday brings together heroes from different realities.
Wanda is one of the MCU’s most powerful magic users. Her ability to alter reality makes her a potentially valuable asset to someone trying to control or manipulate the multiverse. However, the scene does not explain whether Doom plans to control her, drain her abilities, or convince her to work with him.
There is also a connection to Marvel Comics. In Avengers: The Children’s Crusade, Billy and Tommy search for their missing mother and discover that Doctor Doom is holding Wanda and using her powers.
The storyline offers a possible direction for the film, although Marvel has not confirmed that Doomsday will follow the comic's events.
What does this mean for Scarlet Witch and Vision’s family?
The reveal is particularly interesting because VisionQuest spends much of its story rebuilding Vision’s relationship with his sons. In the finale, Billy and Tommy reunite, giving the family a chance to reconnect after years of separation.
Tommy also asks Vision whether they will ever see their mother again. Vision replies that they might, a line that initially sounds like a hopeful possibility before the post-credits scene gives it a much clearer meaning.
This creates a potential family storyline for Avengers: Doomsday. Billy and Tommy now have a reason to search for Wanda, while Vision could also become involved if he learns that she is alive but in danger. Whether Paul Bettany's Vision returns in the film has not been officially confirmed.
