Marvel Studios has delivered another major surprise: Elizabeth Olsen officially returns as Wanda Maximoff—the Scarlet Witch—in the post-credits sequence of the Disney+ series VisionQuest.
The unexpected appearance marks Olsen’s return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) following her character’s presumed demise in 2022’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
The finale revisits Mount Wundagore, where Wanda seemingly sacrificed herself by collapsing the ancient temple. However, the post-credits sequence reveals a shocking twist: Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) appeared among the ruins and used his magic to clear the rubble burying Wanda.
“Scarlet Witch, awaken. Your power will be mine,” Doom declares before Wanda’s glowing eyes snap open, confirming her survival.

The cliffhanger raises huge questions about Wanda’s fate and Doom’s true intentions—specifically whether he plans to harness or manipulate her reality-altering chaos magic. More importantly, the scene directly sets the stage for Avengers: Doomsday, hitting theaters on December 18, 2026.
With the Scarlet Witch back in play, Marvel fans are positioned for an explosive next chapter in the MCU’s ongoing Multiverse Saga.
