Marvel Fans Discover Beloved Character’s Fate in VisionQuest Finale Ahead of Avengers: Doomsday.
There are spoilers for VisionQuest season one, episode eight in this article. Ahead of Avengers: Doomsday, perseverance is more than just love.
Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) hinted to her return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe following the VisionQuest conclusion, which brought Vision (Paul Bettany) and his sons Tommy Maximoff (Ruaridh Mollica) and Billy Maximoff (Joe Locke) back together to beat a devastated Ultron (James Spader) from his attempt to wipe out humanity.
The second post-credit scene from the November 11 episode opens with a flashback to Wanda, also known as the Scarlet Witch, burying herself in rubble at the conclusion of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Wanda was drowning in grief and corrupted by the Darkhold's dark magic after losing Vision and her sons in WandaVision.

When she destroyed the temple at Mount Wundagore and eradicated all copies of the Darkhold throughout the multiverse, her moment of redemption came after the devastation caused by her attempt to abduct another version of her sons, who vanished after she let go of her projected version of Westview.
However, Dr. Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) has different ideas for Wanda. He declared as he removed rubble from her dead body, "Scarlet Witch, awaken. Your power will be mine."
In Doomsday, which debuted on December 18, several of the original Avengers (apart from Downey's late Iron Man), Black Panther's Wakandans, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men band together to confront Dr. Doom's grave danger to the multiverse.
Although it was uncertain if Wanda would make a comeback prior to the post-credit sequence, Vision did inform Tommy at the conclusion that "it stands to reason" they would cross paths with the matriarch once more.
Terry Matalas, the showrunner of VisionQuest, provided an explanation for Wanda's absence from the eight-episode series.
"We had lots of discussions," prior to its premiere, he informed media outlets in an exclusive interview. "I can't talk too much about the future of the MCU, but Wanda always felt present anyway, and I think especially in that very last scene, that intimate scene with Vision and Ultron."
"Paul is talking about losing her, and it's as if she's in the room with them for a moment," he remembered. "Would an appearance from her take away the journey that he's on and become about that? That was a real question. Also, she can't just be back. There has to be a story behind that."
They only had "so much real estate to be able to do that," he said, but he was excited to see what Wanda's future contained.
Spader, who was returning to his character from Avengers: Age of Ultron, pointed out how important her physical absence was to the series.
"Sometimes someone's presence is only magnified by their lack thereof," he informed media outlets. "The void that they leave by not being there makes their presence really so much more.”
“If it were that easy for Vision to be able to even imagine her right there and be able to reach out and not touch her, but to imagine her there, that would dissipate his feeling of loss," he proposed. "It would fill the void in an odd way, and the void for this show to work, the void had to be empty."
