We are just hours away from the season finale of Marvel Studios' VisionQuest. The Disney Plus series has been years-in-the-making, positioning itself as one of the most highly-anticipated projects of the Multiverse Saga. Despite the Marvel Cinematic Universe's highs and lows in recent years, it has managed to maintain that anticipation, performing extremely well for the streamer and building further anticipation ahead of Avengers: Doomsday this December.
The most devoted of fans aren't surprised by VisionQuest's success. It's the third and final installment in the critically-acclaimed WandaVision Trilogy, coming after the titular original series and first spinoff Agatha All Along. It's all centered around the story that began with the love story of Vision and Wanda Maximoff (a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch), which has allowed Paul Bettany to reprise his role as the Vision / White Vision in the process. But, as it's all down to Wanda and her limitless magic, fans have naturally been wondering if Elizabeth Olsen will reprise her role in the finale.
Elizabeth Olsen isn't expected to appear in VisionQuest
As much as fans have been hoping that we might see Wanda make her long-awaited return in VisionQuest, the hard truth of the matter is that Elizabeth Olsen isn't listed as a member of the MCU show's cast. While that's certainly not an instant no no as Marvel Studios loves surprises, she hasn't really been attached to the series in any capacity as reports state that Wanda's potential return will be explored across the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars instead.
Olsen's acclaimed performance in WandaVision led to her reprising the role in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness when Wanda leaned into the dark nature of the Scarlet Witch lore to get her children Tommy and Billy - whom she had created in the Hex along with a fictional version of Vision - back. Upon realizing that Agatha Harkness' Darkhold had poisoned her mind, she sacrificed herself, pulling down Mount Wundagore to destroy the dark magic once and for all. And yet, fans are convinced that she's not truly dead.
Agatha All Along seemingly undid the MCU's official stance that Wanda was dead, as Agatha herself told Wanda and Vision's reincarnated son Billy that she wasn't sure if the Scarlet Witch was really dead. However, VisionQuest has seemingly reinforced it, as both the resurrected White Vision and Ultron have repeatedly stated that she's dead, with the penultimate episode even seeing Vision grieve Wanda and Billy - the latter of whom he still believes died in the Hex's destruction.
The VisionQuest finale is going to be full of surprises, with reports suggesting that at least some of the Maximoff family will reunite. Long-standing rumors have suggested that Agatha All Along's Joe Locke will reprise his role as Billy in the season finale, allowing him to reunite with brother Tommy and their father Vision - who has now fully accepted that he is the same Vision we have known for all these years across the MCU.
If that's the case, three members of the Maximoff family will be back together, allowing them to head out on a journey that may well lead them back to the matriarch herself. And, if reports are to be believed, we won't have to wait too much longer to see her again either.
Wanda's return is reportedly going to play into Avengers: Doomsday
Ever since Wanda seemingly died in Doctor Strange 2, fans have been convinced that her inevitable return would play into the upcoming Avengers movies. The character vanished to such an extent that not even Doctor Strange himself could find a trace of her, her magic, or even her existence. And then he jumped into a wormhole to the Dark Dimension with Clea and hasn't returned since.
According to reports, both characters are now expected to play a role in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars and it all has to do with the rise of Doctor Doom. Portrayed by Robert Downey Jr., the new big bad of the MCU will seek to destroy as many worlds as possible by bringing about incursions all throughout the multiverse so that he can reshape it all in his image. And to help him do that, he will have Latverian Witches and a Sorcerer of his own at his disposal.
The running theory is that Wanda is one of the Latverian Witches (along with Clea and Loki's Sylvie) while Strange is the masked sorcerer. The red / orange cloaked witch has been posing in all of the promotional material in a way that very much lines up with Wanda's poses, and that theory would back up the reports that the Scarlet Witch would be involved in the movie in a way that wouldn't require Elizabeth Olsen to do much filming (As the character will be masked for most of the movie).
If this turns out to be the case, Wanda just might need sorcerers of her own to free her from Doom's grip. That's where her sons Billy (a.k.a. the magical Wiccan) and Tommy (a.k.a. Speed), along with the re-powered Vision, would come in. Billy, in particular, has powers that match Wanda's and - under the tutelage of Agatha Harkness herself - he would pose a major threat to Doom's plans.
Paul Bettany's Vision is now expected to appear in Avengers: Doomsday in some capacity, while Tommy and Billy are rumored for cameos - with potentially bigger roles in 2027's Avengers: Secret Wars. And, just as the double act of Avengers movies would serve as the perfect culmination of the Multiverse Saga, so too could they effectively bring about a close to the loose threads of the WandaVision Trilogy.
VisionQuest is now streaming on Disney Plus ahead of its finale. Avengers: Doomsday arrives in theaters on December 18, 2026, while Avengers: Secret Wars then arrives on December 17, 2027.
