Apparently, all it takes to get Marvel fans reaching for their wallets is one Scarlet Witch resurrection. VisionQuest settled Wanda Maximoff’s fate in its finale post-credits scene, revealing that Elizabeth Olsen’s heroine survived Mount Wundagore and was awakened by Doctor Doom. Within 48 hours, Avengers: Doomsday ticket sales boomed, because, apparently, fans have forgiven Wanda for quite a lot, and are ready to defend her.

Elizabeth Olsen’s return has given Avengers: Doomsday another major draw, turning one post-credits reveal into fresh ticket-buying excitement.

Disney is not keeping the Scarlet Witch effect a secret, although it has left the exact ticket figures to industry trackers. In a press release, the studio acknowledged a spike in Avengers: Doomsday sales ahead of its December 18 theatrical debut. Reports estimate that the renewed interest translated into approximately 60,000 additional opening-night preview tickets within 48 hours.

Wanda Maximoff clearly still has a rather powerful hold over Marvel audiences. The reported sales jump suggests that Elizabeth Olsen's return has added another layer of excitement to the upcoming Avengers adventure, with fans seemingly eager to see where the Scarlet Witch fits into Doctor Doom's plans. After all, few MCU returns come with quite this much anticipation.

The streaming numbers gave Disney another reason to break out the celebratory magic. The VisionQuest finale attracted 3.7 million global views on Disney+ within its first 24 hours, marking a 44% increase over the previous episode. So, along with another reason to go on and buy tickets for Avengers: Doomsday, according to Disney, it also delivered the largest audience for a Marvel series finale in more than three years.

Of course, with Wanda Maximoff back and her husband and children still in the picture, fans have more than just the Jean Grey versus Scarlet Witch showdown on their minds. The bigger question is whether the Maximoff family will finally find its way back together.

Will the Maximoff family reunited in Avengers: Doomsday?

A Maximoff family reunion might be closer than Marvel fans think, although getting everyone in the same room could take some doing. Following VisionQuest, Vision, Billy Maximoff, and Tommy Maximoff are finally together, while Wanda Maximoff has also been confirmed alive. With all four family members back in the picture, Avengers: Doomsday has an opportunity to deliver a long-awaited reunion, although one can not be sure if it would be a happy one.

There is, however, a rather complicated Doctor Doom-shaped obstacle standing in the way. The post-credits scene reveals that Victor von Doom awakens Wanda and intends to claim her powers, while Vision has already hinted to Tommy that they could see their mother again. With the Avengers: The Children's Crusade storyline offering an intriguing parallel, a family reunion could become one of Avengers: Doomsday's most anticipated possibilities.
