Kevin Feige opposed bringing Wanda back in VisionQuest's finale out of concern her return would overshadow the show's core characters, according to Vision actor Paul Bettany. Feige told Bettany that including Wanda "will just fundamentally all become about WandaVision again, and this should and can stand on its own."
The VisionQuest finale, which aired this week, ended with Vision reuniting with his sons Billy and Tommy, but Wanda remains absent from the main story after her presumed death in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Bettany said there were discussions about bringing her back so the family could be whole.
The irony is sharp. VisionQuest's post-credits scene, which did not appear in press screenings, shows Doctor Doom rescuing Wanda from rubble. That one-minute scene has dominated social media conversation and trending topics since the finale aired, completely overshadowing the show's actual ending. Avengers: Doomsday releases December 18. Bettany acknowledged Feige was correct in his reasoning at the time the decision was made, before the post-credits scene's impact became clear.
