VisionQuest ending explained: How does Marvel's series set up Avengers: Doomsday?

Marvel's mini-series VisionQuest just aired its last episode but its ending may have significant implications on the next big-bang event in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie. The VisionQuest finale, aired on November 10, featured two major mid-credits scenes, bringing back the Scarlet Witch, Wanda Maximoff, and introducing a possible connection between her fate and Doctor Doom's plans. The developments also set the stage for the return of some familiar characters and the exploration of complicated family relationships in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Here's how the VisionQuest finale connects to Avengers: Doomsday.

Ultron's plans for Jocasta

The first mid-credits scene takes viewers back to Horton Manor, the location of the final battle. Ultron, played by James Spader, survives the events of the finale and appears in his human form.


He is seen holding a computer chip labelled Jocasta. In Marvel lore, Jocasta is an artificial intelligence created by Ultron, with a complicated connection to his origins and ambitions.

The scene suggests that Ultron could be planning to bring Jocasta back. Although it does not reveal exactly what he intends to do with her, the development leaves the door open for another chapter in Ultron's story.

It also raises questions about whether his plans could eventually intersect with the larger conflict in Avengers: Doomsday.

Doctor Doom brings back Scarlet Witch

The second mid-credits scene offers a much more direct connection to the upcoming Avengers film.

It revisits the apparent death of Wanda Maximoff in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. At the end of that film, Wanda collapsed Mount Wundagore, seemingly sacrificing herself in the process.

However, VisionQuest reveals that her story may not be over.

The scene shows Doctor Doom lifting the debris and bringing Wanda back. He then declares, "Scarlet Witch, awaken. Your powers will be mine."

The moment suggests that Doom intends to exploit Wanda's extraordinary abilities for his own purposes. It also establishes a possible link between the Scarlet Witch and the central conflict of Avengers: Doomsday.

How Wanda's sons could influence Avengers: Doomsday

Wanda's return also brings her complicated family history back into focus.

Her sons, Billy Kaplan (Wiccan) and Tommy Shepherd (Speed), have been central to the emotional storyline surrounding her. Their desire to reunite with their mother could become an important part of what happens next.

The storyline also draws parallels with Marvel Comics' The Children's Crusade.

In the comic storyline, Billy and Tommy search for Wanda, who has lost her memories. Doctor Doom eventually becomes involved in her story and attempts to use her powers.

The similarities with the VisionQuest mid-credits scene are difficult to ignore. Both stories involve Wanda, her sons and Doom's interest in her abilities.

This could provide the foundation for a redemption storyline in which Wanda's relationship with her children becomes as important as the larger battle against Doom.

However, how closely the MCU will follow the comic storyline remains to be seen.

Who are the Latverian witches?

Promotional material associated with Avengers: Doomsday has also fuelled speculation about the characters who could assist Doctor Doom.

Images of women dressed in distinctive coloured robes, reportedly associated with Latveria, have led to questions about the possible involvement of witches in Doom's plans.

Marvel's costume displays at San Diego Comic-Con have added to the speculation, although the identities and roles of these characters remain unclear.

If the witches are connected to Doom's plans, they could help explain how he intends to control or harness Wanda's powers.

When will Avengers: Doomsday release?

VisionQuest leaves several important questions unanswered, particularly about Wanda's return, Ultron's plans for Jocasta and the role of Billy and Tommy in the unfolding conflict.

The series also reinforces some of Marvel's recurring themes, including family, grief, sacrifice and the consequences of extraordinary power.

With Doctor Doom now seemingly connected to Wanda's fate, the next Avengers film could bring together several storylines that have been developing across the MCU.

Avengers: Doomsday is set to released in theatres on December 18, 2026. Meanwhile, if you haven't seen already, watch the VisionQuest on Disney+.
