And it seems as though that universal rule has bled over into the Marvel Cinematic Universe as well this week. Yes, Marvel has just wrestled one of its most popular characters out of the Grim Reaper’s clutches and restored them to life. Specifically, it was revealed during the VisionQuest post-credit scene that Scarlet Witch, Aka Wanda Maximoff, survived having a mountain fall on her head at the end of Multiverse of Madness. How did she survive? Well, she had help from a doctor. Unfortunately for her, it wasn’t a medical doctor; it was Doctor Doom, the villain of the upcoming Avenegrs movie, Doomsday. During the scene, we saw Mount Wundagore collapse, leaving the Scarlet Witch buried under tonnes of rubble. However, as Wanda lay in the dark, Doom arrived and used his powers to clear the rocks covering Wanda. As an ominous green light begins to shine over Wanda, Doom can be heard saying, ‘Scarlet Witch, awaken; your power will be mine’. Then Wanda’s eyes open as she gasps.

I’m literally in tears right now,’ wrote @BlazeBinges on X. ‘Doctor Doom bringing Wanda back to life was not on my bingo card for the VisionQuest finale,’ added @bdrip1k. The Scarlet Witch is back!

I’d let myself hope, but I didn’t want to actually think it could happen.’ ‘As a Wanda stan, I was SCREAMING!!!’ agreed clandahlina_redux. The general theory now seems to be that Wanda will be one of the Lateverian Witches who’ve been teased in the Doomsday marketing.

The current thinking is that the witches will be revealed to be Clea, Sylvie, and Wanda, but only time will tell if this theory is true. Meanwhile, Wanda isn’t the only ex-Avengers Doom has collected. At the end of Avengers Endgame: Encore, the masked menace collected Bruce Banner, aka the Hulk, for reasons yet to be explained.
