Kevin Feige Didn’t Want Wanda in VisionQuest Because He Was Worried She Would ‘Distract’ From the Core Show

Paul Bettany said Marvel chief Kevin Feige opposed including Wanda Maximoff in *VisionQuest* because her return could draw attention away from Vision’s story. Feige argued the series should stand on its own rather than become a repeat of *WandaVision*, and Bettany agreed.

Wanda does not appear in the main story, but the finale’s closing credits show a cloaked figure resembling Victor von Doom calling for her to awaken, followed by her eyes opening. The scene appears to use existing footage from *Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness* and sets up her return ahead of *Avengers: Doomsday*, due on 18 December.
