Wanda Maximoff Is Alive: VisionQuest Finale Officially Confirms Return of Major Avenger

Wanda appears in the final scene

Doom tells her, “Scarlet Witch, awaken. Your powers will be mine,” and Wanda opens her eyes. The scene confirms she is alive, despite the apparent ending of her story in the earlier film.

A possible role in Doomsday

Olsen had been asked for years about returning to the franchise, including for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Before the spinoff premiered, she had denied that she would appear in VisionQuest.

Marvel Studios has not formally announced Scarlet Witch for Avengers: Doomsday. The series is the final project scheduled to release before the ensemble film, which opens in theaters on December 18.

Doom gathers powerful figures

Doom’s appearance adds him to a growing set of major power players he is collecting in the franchise. Earlier this fall, new scenes added to Avengers: Endgame Encore prompted more discussion about Doomsday after Doom went after Bruce Banner, played by Mark Ruffalo, following the events of Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Olsen has not commented on her appearance. Viewers have responded to the finale on social media, expressing excitement about Wanda’s return; Marvel has not provided further updates about her future.
