Paul Bettany, who reprises his role as Vision in the upcoming Disney+ series Vision Quest, has stated that he is unaware of whether Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch will appear. The series is positioned as the concluding chapter of a trilogy that began with WandaVision, leading to widespread fan anticipation for a cameo from Wanda Maximoff.
Fans last saw Wanda seemingly buried beneath Mount Wundagore in the finale of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, though the lack of a definitive body has fueled speculation about her survival. When asked about the possibility of Olsen's return, Bettany told Entertainment Tonight that the answer remains a closely guarded secret, even from him. "That is, at this point, a matter of secrecy," Bettany said. "And it's secret even to me. There are also other surprises to come, and other big reveals. It's very exciting, I think, the story is really compelling and interesting."
Although Vision Quest is not centered on Wanda, her potential return is a significant point of interest for fans seeking to complete the narrative arc initiated in WandaVision. That series explored Wanda's relationship with Vision and the emergence of their children. Following this, Agatha All Along featured Joe Locke as Billy Maximoff, and Vision Quest is set to introduce Ruaridh Mollica as Tommy Maximoff, suggesting a potential family reunion.
Further fueling speculation is the expectation that Wanda Maximoff will feature in the upcoming Avengers films, Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. The recent reshoots for Avengers: Doomsday have coincided with unverified reports of Elizabeth Olsen's presence in the UK, leading to theories that her appearance in Vision Quest might have been a recent addition or filmed concurrently.
Fans have theorized that a post-credit scene could reveal Wanda alive and working for Doctor Doom, or that her inclusion would provide narrative closure to a trilogy that began with her isolation and ended with the scattered formation and potential reunification of her family. Vision Quest is set to premiere on Disney+ on October 18.
