VisionQuest Finale: Post-Credit Scene for Avengers Doomsday in the last episode
For Marvel fans, the ending of the eighth and final episode titled Forever holds a surprise
A surprise in "VisionQuest": At the end of the Disney+ series, there's a setup for the upcoming Marvel blockbuster "Avengers: Doomsday" – in the form of a post-credit scene. The scene isn't particularly long, but it's likely to be quite significant for "Doomsday." KinoCheck watched the post-credit scene from the final, eighth "VisionQuest" episode, "Forever," and explains below what it shows.
The whole thing ties in with another film from the Marvel Cinematic Universe: "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness." The 2022 blockbuster stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the title character, Dr. Stephen Strange, as well as Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlet Witch, for whom the on-screen adventure did not end well. Buried under rubble, her fate seemed sealed. However, in the post-credit scene of "VisionQuest," we see Scarlet Witch again. Doctor Doom, the villain of the upcoming "Avengers" film played by Robert Downey Jr., appears, swiftly clears away the rubble, and says: "Scarlet Witch, awaken. Your power will be mine." She then gasps briefly and opens her eyes.
An ally of Doctor Doom?
That's how the scene ends, suggesting that we'll see Scarlet Witch again in "Avengers: Doomsday." This raises the question of whether she'll become an unwilling ally of Doctor Doom in the film, as the villain's words imply. Especially since she might not be the only heroine exploited by Doom for his own purposes. The same could also be true for Bruce Banner, aka the Hulk (played by Mark Ruffalo). After all, the recent re-release of "Avengers: Endgame" also featured additional scenes that set the stage for "Avengers: Doomsday."
In one of them, Bruce Banner finds himself in a secure medical facility following the events of "Spider-Man: Brand New Day." Suddenly, Doctor Doom appears there. Banner then transforms into the Hulk to confront Doom. It remains to be seen what will happen next with the Hulk. However, as the scene suggests, he could play an important role in Doom's plans.
Doomsday: The theatrical release is approaching
We'll soon find out in theaters what Doctor Doom is up to and how it all turns out for the heroes: "Avengers: Doomsday" opens on December 18, 2026. The multiverse – specifically, the clash of different universes – is set to be a central element of the film. Joe and Anthony Russo, who also directed "Avengers: Endgame," among other films, are once again at the helm. The screenplay is by Michael Waldron and Stephen McFeely. The cast of this Marvel blockbuster features numerous stars. The ensemble includes Chris Hemsworth, Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Simu Liu, Florence Pugh, Kelsey Grammer, Joseph Quinn, David Harbour, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, Channing Tatum, Chris Evans, and Robert Downey Jr.
It was recently reported that a test screening took place – and apparently, audience reactions were quite positive. The antagonist Doctor Doom received special praise. The audience's verdict: Doom is one of the most compelling villains the Marvel Cinematic Universe has ever produced. What's more, he's on par with Thanos, who was the central antagonist in the latest "Avengers" films. Another character who was singled out for praise: Cyclops. The mutant with the deadly eyes is portrayed in "Doomsday" by former "X-Men" star James Marsden. And apparently, his performance was particularly celebrated by the test audience.
Vision takes center stage
As for "VisionQuest": The series is a spin-off of "WandaVision." While "WandaVision" primarily centered on Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlet Witch, Paul Bettany's character Vision now takes center stage. The cast also includes the following actors: James Spader, Ruaridh Mollica, Todd Stashwick, T'Nia Miller, Lauren Morais, Orla Brady, Diane Morgan, Polly Frame, Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, Emily Hampshire, and James D'Arcy.
For the android Vision, a new beginning is on the horizon in the eight-part miniseries. The official synopsis reads:
"Vision, rebooted and having escaped from those who sought to weaponize him, has been in hiding. Searching for new meaning, he consults the AI personas embedded in his programming, including F.R.I.D.A.Y., E.D.I.T.H., J.A.R.V.I.S., and the infamous Ultron. His discreet existence ends when a bounty placed on his head thrusts him on the run."
The final, eighth episode, "Forever," which has now been released, was written and directed by showrunner Terry Matalas. The trailer for "VisionQuest," which you can watch here, offers a glimpse of the series:
