‘VisionQuest’ May Have Just Revealed ‘Avengers: Doomsday’s Biggest Twist
Collier Jennings is an entertainment journalist with extensive experience. Collier, or "CJ" to his friends and family, is a dedicated fan of genre films - particularly science fiction, fantasy, and comic book adaptations, not to mention all forms of animation. This stems from a close bond with his father, who introduced him to these genres via copies of X-Men comics and reruns of the original Ultraman series. With his near-encyclopedic knowledge and bottomless love of genre, he's tackled a wide variety of articles.

Editor's Note: The following article contains spoilers for the VisionQuest finale.
VisionQuest ended the "WandaVision trilogy" on a high note, reuniting Vision (Paul Bettany) with his sons Tommy (Ruaridh Mollica) and Billy (Joe Locke) while also giving him closure with his "father," Ultron (James Spader). Audiences were in for one more surprise during the credits, as VisionQuest addressed the lingering absence of one important character. The post-credits scene flashes back to the final moments of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, where Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) seemingly sacrifices herself by demolishing Mount Wundagore.
The scene then reveals Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) approaching the rubble, declaring: "Scarlet Witch, awaken. Your power will be mine." Wanda jolts awake, seemingly teeing up the character's appearance in Avengers: Doomsday. This scene could also be connected to a long-running fan theory that Wanda will be part of the "Latverian Witches" who accompany Doom, as one of them wears a bright red cloak that perfectly fits her aesthetic. It might also confirm that Doom is collecting certain figures from across the Marvel Cinematic Universe that all share something in common.
Doctor Doom Is Targeting People Who Caused Incursions in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’
Avengers: Doomsday has largely been shrouded in mystery, with only an official trailer and "special look" hinting at the menace that Doom poses to the Avengers and other heroes. However, recent MCU projects have been hinting that Doom is collecting different heroes. Avengers: Endgame Encore features a collection of post-credit scenes, including one depicting a battle between Doom and Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo). The post-credits for Spider-Man: Brand New Day also hint that Tom Holland's web-slinger is no longer on Earth, potentially teeing up a Spider-Man appearance in Doomsday or Spidey getting his symbiote suit in Avengers: Secret Wars. Avengers: Doomsday co-director Joe Russo previously hinted that Doom was looking for other heroes:
"I mean look, his interest may extend beyond just Banner. So, that's what we'll say about that."
So what's the connection between Banner, Wanda, and Peter? All three of them caused events that led to world-shattering "incursions," which threaten to destroy all reality. Banner used the Infinity Stones in Endgame to reverse Thanos' decimation of the universe, and took part in a "time heist" that led to the splintering of different timelines. Wanda "dream walked" across different worlds in Multiverse of Madness, which is revealed to be a cause of the incursions. Peter accidentally split open reality in Spider-Man: No Way Home, leading villains from different universes to invade the MCU. These incursions might have changed Doom's life, so he's targeting the people who caused them to force them into "correcting" their mistakes.
Collider Exclusive · 8 Questions · 2 Minutes What MCU Superpower Would You Have? Strength · Spider-Sense · Invisibility · Chaos Magic
Eight honest questions about how you actually are: your first instinct when things go wrong, what your friends rely on you for, how you handle stress, what your real flaw is. Answer them and we will tell you which power you would wake up with. The best ones in the MCU are never random, because they always say something about the person who got them.
💪Super Strength(Hulk)
🕸️Spider-Sense(Spider-Man)
🫧Invisibility(Fantastic Four)
🔮Chaos Magic(Scarlet Witch)
01
What is your first instinct when something goes wrong? Go with the honest answer rather than the heroic one.
02
How do you handle being the centre of attention? Every hero on this list answers this differently.
03
What do your friends rely on you for? They would all name the same thing about you.
04
How do you deal with stress? Nobody picks the healthy one, and that is fine.
05
What is your actual flaw? The useful thing here is picking the true one.
06
What kind of help do you actually give people? Everybody has one default, whatever the situation is.
07
How do you want strangers to see you? Answer for the first ten minutes, not the first year.
08
What would you want a superpower for? Eight questions in, this is the one that picks your power.
The Gift Is Given Your Power Is…
Four powers, and four completely different kinds of person behind them. Here is what you would wake up with, what it would cost you, and why the MCU keeps handing it to somebody exactly like you.
Super Strength
You get the power that is really about taking the hit so that nobody else has to. Strength in the MCU always lands on people who were already carrying too much, which is exactly why it suits you.
- Your instinct is to put yourself between the problem and the people, and you do it before anybody has thought to ask.
- Bruce Banner is the most interesting version of this because his story was never about lifting things, it was about control.
- The catch with strength is that people stop checking whether you are alright, since you have made a habit of looking like you always are.
- You would be the one everybody calls at two in the morning, and you would answer every single time.
Spider-Sense
You get the power that never switches off. Spider-sense is a gift and a nervous system on permanent alert, and the people who get it in these films are always the ones who were already worrying about everybody.
- You read a situation faster than you can explain it, and you are usually right in a way you cannot show your working for.
- Peter Parker is the template because he takes on more than he can hold and then apologises for not holding it well enough.
- Spider-Man: Brand New Day arrived in July 2026 and put him back to being local, broke and permanently on call.
- The cost here is real, since a power that warns you about everything also means you are never quite off duty.
Invisibility
You get the quietest power in the building, and quietly the most useful. Invisibility comes with force fields for a reason, because the people who prefer not to be seen are usually the ones holding a shield around everybody else.
- You notice everything, largely because you spend more time observing a room than performing in it.
- Sue Storm is the strongest member of her team and the least interested in anybody saying so, which is very much your energy.
- The Fantastic Four: First Steps finally gave the family a proper MCU home in 2025 and made her the centre of it.
- Your risk is that being unseen becomes a habit rather than a choice, and the people who love you would like a look in.
Chaos Magic
You get the biggest and least comfortable power on the list, the one that runs directly on feeling. Chaos magic is not really a superpower in the MCU so much as an emotional state with consequences attached.
- You feel things at a volume other people do not, and you have spent years managing that rather than being managed by it.
- Wanda is the best written character Marvel has, precisely because her power and her grief turned out to be the same thing.
- WandaVision remains the high point of Marvel television, and it works because the spectacle is only ever a symptom.
- The warning attached to this one is simple. A power that answers to how you feel is only ever as steady as you are.
The Scarlet Witch’s Return in ‘VisionQuest’ Tees Up This Marvel Storyline
With Wanda now slated to play a role in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, the question remains: what's next for the Scarlet Witch? The answer might lie in VisionQuest's ending, which sees Tommy and Billy reunite, with Tommy wondering whether Wanda can make the same kind of return he and his brother (and father) did. Most fans know Tommy eventually gets his answer in Avengers: The Children's Crusade by Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung, which sees the Young Avengers on a quest to find a missing Scarlet Witch—and running afoul of Doctor Doom in the process.
The timing has never been more right for an adaptation of Avengers: The Children's Crusade, or a Young Avengers project. Most of the characters in that team have been introduced in previous MCU shows and projects, and having a younger group of heroes would provide a direct contrast to the Avengers' adventures. There's also Wanda Maximoff's current status in Marvel Comics canon; as a result of Doctor Doom's arrogance, she is now the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth. Having Wanda defend Earth from magical threats could be a great way for her to re-enter the MCU and build on the events of Doomsday.
VisionQuest is available to stream on Disney+. Avengers: Doomsday will premiere in theaters on December 18, 2026.
