While Elizabeth Olsen‘s Wanda Maximoff makes a brief return in VisionQuest‘s credits scene, there were talks about bringing her back for a bigger presence.
Paul Bettany, who reprised his role as Vision and executive produced the MCU series on Disney+, noted that he and Kevin Feige ultimately agreed the show was worth letting it “stand on its own” as opposed to distracting audiences with another big character.
“There were questions about it, whether that should happen, whether it opened up too much for the MCU, whether they wanted to do it later. I don’t know,” Bettany told The Playlist. “But I remember having this conversation with [Feige], and he said, ‘You and Terry have done such a great job at making me care about Vision. I really don’t think you should distract from that by giving the audience that at the end of the [show]. It will just fundamentally all become about WandaVision again, and this should and can stand on its own.’ And I think he was right.”

Although Wanda doesn’t reunite with Vision or their sons in the series, the post-credits scene showed what appeared to be Doctor Doom reviving her from the rubble of Wundagore following the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022).
With the scene appearing to hint at her presence in Avengers: Doomsday, Bettany admitted that he “would love” to reunite with Olsen for another series in their continuity, following WandaVision (2021), Agatha All Along (2024) and VisionQuest.
“Gosh, I would love for that to be. I don’t know,” he said. “I mean, at the moment, it doesn’t feel that way, but I’ve died so many times in this show, so you never actually know.”
Bettany continued, “And my experience of Hollywood tells me if something’s a big enough hit, people want to continue with that. So I mean, I guess we’ll see. And whether Vision continues at all is sadly a decision that is made further up the food chain than I sit.”
After Vision was reunited with both their sons Tommy (Ruaridh Mollica) and Billy (Joe Locke) in the VisionQuest finale, it’s possible we’ll see a family reunion with Wanda in Avengers: Doomsday, premiering Dec. 18 in theaters.
