VISIONQUEST Showrunner Terry Matalas Says a Scrapped Post-Credits Scene Would Have Teased the Return of [Spoiler]
The series VisionQuest has come to an end, and the finale was packed with exciting details that answered long lost questions and gave us clues that will carry through to the next big storyline in the MCU.
Aside from the return of Wanda Maximoff and her being rescued/captured by Doom, we also got the Maximoff twins reunited, Vision was saved, Ultron was thwarted (for now), and Jocasta was a casualty.
But showrunner Terry Matalas revealed that one deleted post-credits scene actually would have given viewers hope of Jocasta’s eventual return.
He explained to host Iman Vellani on the Official VisionQuest Podcast: "There's a deleted scene for that in which you see that she got out in some nanos. Ultimately, we felt like we wanted to save that.
“It relieved a bit too much of the drama of the finale. For me, the other important thing was I wanted Ultron out in the world again. I think the first pitch was, 'I want the last shot would be him putting on a hat and turning into a crown in the Louvre.' That's one family... so we could see this family again."
I liked that they reserved it for another story. The best part of the post-credits scenes for me was when we were transported back to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), and it was revealed that Wanda survived by being rescued by Doctor Doom.
That wouldn’t have made sense back then, but it does now, and maybe there’s some secret work in play with Jocasta’s character, who was brilliantly played by T’Nia Miller.
When asked if she’d like to return to the role, Miller told Screen Rant, "Oh, I'm there with the rest of you. I'm in Ultron's hands, so let's see what happens."
Jocasta was a villain in this storyline, but we were able to see her humanity by the end, and in the comics, her arc leads her to assist the Avengers, so I think it would be really cool to see her be able to live out that storyline.
