Marvel Seems to Be Teasing Scarlet Witch’s Return in VISIONQUEST with a Series of Clips

Marvel Studios has been stirring up excitement again, and this time it’s all about Scarlet Witch. Over the past week, the studio’s official social media accounts have been posting clips featuring Wanda Maximoff, which has fans wondering, are they getting ready for Elizabeth Olsen’s return in VisionQuest?

Even though Olsen said earlier this year that she’s not part of Avengers: Doomsday or Secret Wars, most fans still believe she’ll return as Wanda at some point.

Various insiders have hinted that she’s back in the mix, though there’s been plenty of back-and-forth on exactly when that will happen. The timing of Marvel’s recent Scarlet Witch posts seems deliberate, and with VisionQuest updates fresh out of New York Comic Con, fans are connecting the dots.

During NYCC, it was revealed that VisionQuest will act as the final chapter of a trilogy that began with WandaVision and continued through Agatha All Along. Showrunner Terry Matalas confirmed the connection, saying:

WandaVision is one of my most favorite things ever, watched it 3 times. So it has to be as good. It ties in directly to WandaVision.”

Then, well-known scooper MTTSH has also teased that Olsen will return “sooner than you think.”

Meanwhile, Paul Bettany has been sharing what makes VisionQuest such an exciting project for him.

“One of the things that’s fun about that is that we finally get to see what it’s like inside Vision’s mind, and it’s more cluttered than you would think.

“He’s clearly been saving and copying and pasting [the AIs] to keep them alive inside his head. One of them, of course, has to be kept behind a pretty impressive firewall because he’s a psychopath. But he’s a clever one.”

That “psychopath” is almost certainly James Spader’s Ultron, who has been confirmed to appear in both human and robot form. But Ultron won’t be the only AI presence in VisionQuest.

Emily Hampshire (Schitt’s Creek, 12 Monkeys) recently joined the cast as a human version of E.D.I.T.H., Tony Stark’s tech that ended up with Peter Parker (Tom Holland) after Avengers: Endgame. Orla Brady (Picard) will play the human form of F.R.I.D.A.Y., and James D’Arcy is back as Edwin Jarvis.

Also joining the ensemble is T’nia Miller (Foundation, The Fall of the House of Usher), who will portray Jocasta, the “Bride of Ultron.” She’s described as “cunning, powerful and driven by revenge,” which sounds like a perfect fit for the series’ AI-driven chaos.

All these pieces seem to be building toward something big, and if VisionQuest is indeed closing out the story that started with WandaVision, it’s hard to imagine doing that without Wanda herself.
