Scarlet Witch Rises: Wanda Returns in Avengers: Doomsday!
11 Nov
Summary
- Scarlet Witch officially returns in Avengers: Doomsday post-credits scene.
- Dr. Doom awakens Wanda using dark magic, seeking her power.
- Fan theories suggest plot similar to 'Children's Crusade' comic storyline.
Wanda Maximoff, known as the Scarlet Witch, is set to return in the upcoming film Avengers: Doomsday. Her reappearance was officially teased in the post-credits scene of the Disney+ series VisionQuest finale, titled "Forever." In this scene, Dr. Doom is depicted lifting rubble from Mount Wundagore, the site of Wanda's apparent sacrifice in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Dr. Doom uses dark magic to awaken Wanda, stating, "Scarlet Witch, awaken -- your power will be mine." This suggests Doom's intention to control or harvest her powerful chaos magic rather than forming an alliance. The situation draws parallels to the 'Avengers: The Children's Crusade' comic, where Wanda's sons find her manipulated by Dr. Doom, potentially leading to a similar plot in Avengers: Doomsday.
Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled for a global theatrical release on December 18, 2026. The film will feature an unprecedented multiversal alliance of superheroes confronting Doctor Doom and his accomplices as three universes face an existential collision. This multiversal threat necessitates the collaboration of the Avengers, Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts, X-Men, and Wakandans.
