Doom’s Wanda resurrection raises the stakes for Doomsday
The Scarlet Witch in ‘Doomsday’? VisionQuest Post-Credits Reactions | The Midnight Boys
The post-credits scene turns Vision Quest into a key piece of Marvel’s Avengers rebuild while raising questions about Wanda’s agency and Doom’s endgame.
- 1Doctor Doom’s resurrection of Wanda could connect Vision Quest directly to the central conflict of Avengers: Doomsday.
- 2The panel debates whether Wanda remains free, remembers her past, or becomes another powerful asset in Doom’s campaign.
- 3Secret Wars mythology offers a possible blueprint for Doom’s reality-building ambitions, but risks overwhelming casual viewers with continuity.
Don't miss
The panel connects Wanda’s resurrection to Hickman’s Secret Wars mythology, including Doom’s possible creation of a new reality.
The brief
The Midnight Boys open an emergency discussion of Vision Quest’s surprise post-credits scene, where Doctor Doom revives Wanda after her apparent death in Multiverse of Madness.
The scene’s significance extends beyond a cameo: it may make a Disney+ series an essential bridge to Avengers: Doomsday and Doom’s plan to assemble overwhelming power.
The panel questions whether Wanda has any agency in her return, while connecting her powers to Vision, Billy, Tommy, Loki, and the Secret Wars mythology surrounding Doom.
Their larger concern is strategic: Marvel may be rebuilding its Avengers saga while revealing so much of the destination that Doomsday will struggle to preserve surprise.
The standout debate asks whether casual viewers can follow a film built on years of continuity without losing the self-contained momentum that made Infinity War work.
