Note: This story contains spoilers from “VisionQuest” Episode 8.
“VisionQuest” wrapped up its run on Tuesday night, thus ending the Disney+ trilogy that began back in 2021 with “WandaVision.” The big question is: Did that finale bring the return of Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff?
“Agatha All Along,” the second show in the trilogy between “WandaVision” and “VisionQuest” played jump rope with whether Wanda was really dead, leaving many to hope she might return to reunite with her family in this series. With the appearance of — here’s your last spoiler warning! — Joe Locke’s Billy Maximoff in the finale, that hope only grew stronger.
Alas, no, Wanda Maximoff didn’t return as well. But, according to showrunner Terry Matalas, the idea of bringing the witch back for this family reunion was on the table.
When Does 'VisionQuest' Take Place?
“Listen, the Wanda conversation was constant, and if we felt strong enough about it, we would have done it,” he explained to TheWrap. “But the second it — and there were pages written of an element of things. There’s a couple of them, but it always consumed the story in a way that detracted from Vision’s in a way.”
“When you introduce Wanda again, it needs to be her story, instead of her coming in and out of this other thing,” he continued. “So that’ll be up to the Marvel gods as to what happens with that. But you know, stay tuned.”
Could that mean she’ll be in “Avengers: Doomsday” next month? Fans have been theorizing as much since before “VisionQuest” even started airing, thanks to “Avengers: The Children’s Crusade,” a comic arc in which the Scarlet Witch returns as a romantic partner to Doctor Doom.
As an added tease, Vision (Paul Bettany) did bring back a line from “WandaVision” in the finale, telling his hopeful son Tommy (Ruaridh Mollica) that “we’ve said goodbye before, so it stands to reason, we’ll say hello again.”
“VisionQuest” is now streaming on Disney+.
