What Does the End Credits Scene of ‘VisionQuest’ Mean for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’?

I have a lot of thoughts about the finale of VisionQuest, which I’ll get into in our recap later today. But right now, all anyone can talk about is that end-credits scene, and who am I to deny you some wild speculation about what it could possibly mean? Let’s talk about what happened at the end of VisionQuest. VisionQuest actually has two end-credits scenes. The first one ties more into the show, while the second one ties more directly into Avengers: Doomsday. In the first scene, Ultron (James Spader) stares contemplatively out one of the many windows of the Horton estate, holding a flash drive labeled “Jocasta.” He’s shaved his beard, he’s wearing a suit. He’s tapping his finger on the drive, like he’s trying to figure out what to do. “For me, it was just a promise of some kind that Ultron’s not done,” creator and showrunner Terry Matalas told Entertainment Weekly. “Whatever he’s going to do, for good or for bad, he promised Vision he doesn’t wanna do it alone. And he has this backup. So what is he gonna do? Then he completes it by spiking the lens and looking right at us. It’s kind of on us to decide. So to me, it’s a great question mark at the end of the piece.” Makes sense. What havoc will Ultron wreak next? Or did Vision finally get through to him, and will he finally use his power for good? It’s a fitting question for the end of the series, though we have no idea when it might actually manifest. If at all. But the second scene feels nearly entirely divorced from the show; it is, effectively, more of a tease for Avengers: Doomsday than a thematic button on VisionQuest. In it, we see the scene from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in which Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) collapses Mount Wundagore on top of her. Then, Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) appears, levitating the rubble and freeing Wanda. “Scarlet Witch, awaken,” he says. “Your power will be mine.” Wanda’s eyes shoot open, and the scene cuts to black. Interestingly, Matalas didn’t mention the Doctor Doom scene at all in his interview with Entertainment Weekly, which makes me wonder how much input he had over its inclusion. (Also, the scene was not included in episodes provided early to journalists.) Sure, at the end of VisionQuest, Tommy (Ruaridh Mollica) asks Vision (Paul Bettany) if he thinks they’ll ever see Wanda again, and Vision’s response is ambiguous. And clearly, now that Wanda’s actually alive, they’re all headed for a very awkward family reunion. Marvel implied as much with a tweet written in binary, which translates to, “We could never truly leave each other, even if we tried.” (That’s what Wanda said to Billy and Tommy in the last episode of WandaVision.) 01010111 01100101 00100000 01100011 01101111 01110101 01101100 01100100 00100000 01101110 01100101 01110110 01100101 01110010 00100000 01110100 01110010 01110101 01101100 01111001 00100000 01101100 01100101 01100001 01110110 01100101 00100000 01100101 01100001 01100011 01101000… — Marvel Studios (@MarvelStudios) November 10, 2026 But the questions that scene raises tie more into Doomsday than VisionQuest. What will Doom do with Wanda’s powers? How does this tie into the Latverian Witches tease from San Diego Comic-Con? Does Doomsday even need a whole other family drama subplot in which Vision, Billy, and Tommy fight to free Wanda from Doom’s control? Will that even happen in Doomsday, or is this tease solely about Wanda becoming Doom’s pawn? We won’t know until Avengers: Doomsday releases in theaters on December 18, 2026. Want more io9 news?
