Scarlet Witch tease
While Wanda Maximoff isn’t on the confirmed list, the VisionQuest finale points straight at her return — and Doom’s reach. The post‑credits tag mirrors Wanda’s apparent demise from 2022’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, then shows Downey’s Doom clearing the rubble to seize her power.
“Your power will be mine,”
Doom says in the stinger, before Wanda opens her eyes.
