Kevin Feige Was Initially Against Wanda's 'VisionQuest' Return

Wanda Maximoff's return in the post-credits scene of VisionQuest was one of the most talked-about topics in pop culture this week!

The scene confirmed that the Scarlet Witch, played by Elizabeth Olsen, is alive and paved the way for her participation in Avengers: Doomsday and possibly Avengers: Secret Wars. But the idea of ​​bringing the character back didn't immediately convince Kevin Feige. Paul Bettany himself, who plays Vision, revealed that the president of Marvel Studios initially preferred that Wanda not appear in the series.

In an interview with The Playlist, Bettany revealed that he spoke with Feige about the possibility of reuniting the couple in VisionQuest. According to the actor, the executive feared that Scarlet Witch's participation would detract from Vision's storyline.

“I remember having this conversation with [Kevin], and he said, ‘You and Terry [Matalas, showrunner] did an incredible job of making me care about Vision. I really don’t think you should divert attention from that by giving the audience that at the end of the [series]. Ultimately, it will all come back to WandaVision, and that should and can stand on its own.’ And I think he was right,” he revealed.

Although Wanda doesn't directly participate in the main plot, the character appears in the second post-credits scene of the final episode. 

VisionQuest is now complete for streaming on Disney+ .
