The VisionQuest finale confirmed that Wanda Maximoff is alive. In the post-credits scene of “Forever,” which streamed on Disney+ the night of November 10, 2026, Doctor Doom finds Wanda’s body in the ruins of Mount Wundagore and revives her — directly setting up her comeback in Avengers: Doomsday, in theaters December 18.
Den of Geek was first to publish a detailed breakdown of the scene, the same night “Forever” streamed on Disney+; TVLine, Yahoo Entertainment and several other outlets followed with their own reporting the next morning. There’s a deep cut buried in why Doom wants her specifically, and it’s worth holding onto — it points at a very particular comic storyline.
What the VisionQuest Finale’s Post-Credits Scene Reveals
Doctor Doom’s exact line in the post-credits scene is, “Scarlet Witch, awaken. Your powers will be mine.” He says it standing over Wanda’s body in the rubble of Mount Wundagore, the mountain she brought down on herself at the end of 2022’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness — and her eyes snap open before the scene cuts to black.
The scene replays the end of that 2022 film first: Wanda destroying every copy of the Darkhold across the multiverse by collapsing Wundagore on top of herself, a moment Marvel has treated as her death for three and a half years. New footage then picks up where that moment left off, with Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom pulling rubble off her corpse. Marvel kept the scene out of advance screeners entirely — outlets who had already interviewed showrunner Terry Matalas about the finale said even he didn’t tip it.
Why Doom Wants Wanda’s Powers for Avengers: Doomsday
Doctor Doom needing Wanda’s magic specifically, instead of just adding another hero to his body count, matters because it’s the same move he makes against her in the comics. If Doomsday borrows even the shape of that history, Doom isn’t just fighting the Avengers — he’s trying to take something only Wanda has.
Critics breaking down the scene keep pointing at the same comic: Avengers: The Children’s Crusade, the 2010-2012 story where Doom, Wanda and her children Billy and Tommy are all tangled together — the same two kids VisionQuest spent its whole first season putting back in Vision’s orbit. Marvel hasn’t confirmed the comparison, but the pieces line up.

Will VisionQuest Get a Season 2?
Marvel still hasn’t ordered a second season of VisionQuest, and showrunner Terry Matalas says the finale’s timing next to Avengers: Doomsday wasn’t a deliberate setup. VisionQuest also pulled 639 million minutes watched in its first week on Disney+, per Luminate data reported November 3, 2026 — an audience Marvel doesn’t usually leave stranded without answers.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly in late October, Matalas said: “We had no idea that we would be sandwiched in between Spider-Man and Avengers. It’s fun to be part of this Marvel conversation in this way, but it was never really planned that way a year and a half ago because we weren’t sure we could have.” For everything else Marvel has and hasn’t confirmed about a renewal, our deeper look at the Season 2 odds is still the one to read.
What This Means Before Avengers: Doomsday
Go back to that Children’s Crusade comic for a second: in it, Wanda’s reality-warping is the one thing powerful enough to undo what Doom is trying to build, which is exactly why he needs her alive and not dead. VisionQuest ends without Vision ever learning that his own family is about to collide with next month’s movie villain.
Watch for whether Doom actually gets what he wants, because Wanda waking up isn’t the same as Wanda cooperating — and VisionQuest’s full episode schedule, or our review of the episode right before the finale, are still the fastest ways to catch up on everything that got her to Wundagore in the first place.
