As Vision reunites with his boys, Billy and Tommy, the post-credits scene takes viewers back to the site of Wanda's tragic sacrifice at Mount Wundagore.

The scene opens with the crumbling, dark magic-infused ruins that were left behind after the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

A hooded figure clears the ancient rubble to reveal Wanda lying motionless underneath it all. The figure in question is revealed to be none other than Victor von Doom (Robert Downey Jr.), who casts green Latverian magic over her body while declaring: "Scarlet Witch, awaken; your power will be mine."

As Doom's energy glows greener, Wanda opens her eyes in shock before the screen cuts to black, confirming two things: she is alive, and she will likely become the central pillar of Doom's entry in Avengers: Doomsday.

For comic book readers, this sets up a direct adaptation of Marvel Comics' The Children's Crusade storyline. With Tommy, Billy (Wiccan), and Vision now reunited in the MCU, their next battle leads into freeing Wanda from Doom's grasp.

Ever since Wanda was buried under the collapse of the Darkhold shrine, fans have long demanded her return to the MCU, considering that Doctor Strange 2: The Multiverse of Madness didn't do her story justice.

Now, her confirmed comeback isn't just fan service, it answers the key problem that Earth's Mightiest Heroes will be forced to face.

With Billy Kaplan establishing his existence in Agatha All Along and Tommy returning alongside Vision in VisionQuest, bringing Wanda back reunites the entire family just in time for multiversal warfare. Potentially to become the Scarlet Witch's salvation.

Doctor Doom acquiring the Scarlet Witch confirms what fans have long suspected about the new overarching villain's plan, which is to utilize Wanda Maximoff and her powers as an existential threat, both capable of rewriting reality to forge Battleworld in Avengers: Doomsday.

For now, Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to release in theaters on December 18, 2026. Stay tuned for more updates on Epicstream!
