VisionQuest Finale Ends With a Hooded Figure Teasing Doctor Doom

The first season finale of VisionQuest, titled "Forever," closes with a hooded figure that Deadline reports appears to be Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom.

The figure appears in a post-credits scene, the short clip that plays after the end credits. It lifts the rubble of Wundagore, the mountain stronghold, off Wanda Maximoff, also known as the Scarlet Witch. Elizabeth Olsen plays Wanda. In the scene, the figure says, "Scarlet Witch, awaken. Your power will be mine."

That moment matters to viewers because of what came before it. In the 2022 film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Wanda appeared to die under the same collapsing mountain. The finale's ending now suggests she may not be gone for good.

The episode also brings back familiar faces. Vision, played by Paul Bettany, is reunited with his sons Tommy, played by Ruaridh Mollica, and Billy, played by Joe Locke. The finale follows the events of WandaVision (2021) and Agatha All Along (2024), two earlier Marvel series that set up the story.

Marvel Studios also posted a hidden message in binary code. Once translated, it reads: "We could never truly leave each other, even if we tried." Binary is a system of ones and zeros that computers use to store text, so the message needed decoding before it could be read.

The clip is also a link to the cinema. Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to premiere in theatres on December 18. Viewers who follow the Marvel films will recognise the name, and the teaser points toward that release.

Olsen said in March that she knew nothing about any possible return for her character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the shared film and television world that Marvel has built. The finale's ending is the first clear sign on screen that Wanda's story may continue.

For anyone who has followed the show, the ending leaves one question open: how Wanda's power, and the figure's claim to it, will play out. Marvel has not said how or when that thread will be picked up.
