Note: This post contains potential spoilers for VisionQuest and Avengers: Doomsday.
The hooded figure who appeared in the post-credits scene of Marvel Television’s VisionQuest is confirmed to be Robert Downey Jr.‘s Doctor Doom. Viewers noticed that someone else appeared to be voicing Doom, but showrunner Terry Matalas has revealed that Downey Jr. provided the voice for the character in the VisionQuest post-credits scene.
In a recent interview with Gold Derby following the VisionQuest finale, Matalas confirmed that the post-credits scene will lead into Avengers: Doomsday.
“Scarlet Witch, awaken — your power will be mine,” Doctor Doom says as Wanda’s eyes open.
Matalas said, “That’s Downey’s voice.” He added, “Forever.”
Matalas also revealed that he did not shoot the Doctor Doom and Scarlet Witch post-credits scene in VisionQuest. The Russo Brothers filming it.
“I can’t talk too much about how it was constructed, because I don’t want to give away, but yes, that line was designed for this moment, specifically,” he said.
Why Wanda Didn’t Appear Earlier in VisionQuest, Showrunner Terry Matalas Explains
Matalas says bringing Wanda Maximoff back was always part of the plan for the VisionQuest finale. The team discussed several ways to bring her back, but the post-credits scene felt like the best way to tease her return. He also says the scene came together quickly and involved a lot of teamwork.
The showrunner said, “It was something we all knew that we had to have.” He added, “She was the missing component of that finale, and we talked about a dozen different ways to bring her back. This was the one that felt like the biggest promise of more for everybody. It came together really fast and was really collaborative in a very fun way.”
Vision mentions Wanda’s absence while talking to their son Tommy in the VisionQuest finale. Tommy has now grown up and has super speed like his uncle, Pietro, also known as Quicksilver. Matalas revealed that the team considered showing Wanda in a dream sequence but decided against it because the episode needed to focus on Vision. Instead, they used the post-credits scene to bring Wanda into the story.
Matalas told ScreenRant why Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) did not appear in the series. The creative team did not want her appearance to distract from the main story. Matalas says the series needed to focus on three main characters: Vision, Tommy, and Billy.
He said, “We can’t afford Kathryn Hahn! First of all, the second you bring Kathryn Hahn into a scene, it’s a Kathryn Hahn scene. It’s really about Agatha, and in that moment of the reunion, it needed to be about Billy. [It] needed to be about Tommy.
So you can’t detract from the story you’re trying to tell just because it would be neat to see Agatha, and so that’s really the core of it… It’s got to be the story of these three characters: Vision, Tommy, and Billy.”
VisionQuest is now streaming on Disney+, while Avengers: Doomsday arrives exclusively in theaters on December 18, 2026.
