VisionQuest Episode 8: Robert Downey Jr.’s cameo, Scarlet Witch’s return and the road to Avengers Doomsday
Grief has always been the engine of the WandaVision trilogy. It built Westview, the sitcom suburb conjured by a woman who couldn’t let go. It gave Vision the line that became the series’ thesis: grief is love persevering. VisionQuest turned that idea inward, following a synthezoid who had to learn, slowly and painfully, how to mourn.

Hugh Jackman's Wolverine made a surprising return in Marvel's Deadpool and Wolverine (2024), despite his previous insistence on retiring from the role. This variant Wolverine hails from a different timeline, one where he had already lived through the tragic ending he suffered in Logan. His reappearance proved to be a major hit, as the film grossed $1.3 billion worldwide.
Marvel Studios, known for their unexpected twists, has a knack for incorporating beloved characters and keeping fans guessing. The Avengers: Doomsday cast is a veritable who's who, featuring not only the Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four but also the potential addition of Wolverine and Deadpool. Rumors swirled that Jackman and Reynolds appeared in a lighthearted video together, hinting at their involvement in the upcoming Avengers film.
When asked about his potential return, Jackman remained tight-lipped, stating that his contribution would be more about dominating and destroying rather than simply showing up. While Marvel has not officially confirmed anything, some observers believe Wolverine's presence could be a crucial asset against Robert Downey Jr.'s formidable villain, Doctor Doom.
As the ultimate strategic adversary, Doom would likely rely on cunning rather than brute strength. Wolverine's healing abilities, unbreakable adamantium skeleton, and fearless approach to battle could present a formidable challenge to Doom's plans.
Moreover, the multiverse angle adds an intriguing layer to the potential Wolverine comeback. The Wolverine from Deadpool and Wolverine possessed a wealth of experience, having already faced his darkest moments. Such a seasoned warrior, with nothing left to lose, might prove invaluable in a high-stakes battle against Doom. However, until December 18, when the film is set to release, these ideas remain mere speculation.
Whether Wolverine will truly make a difference against Doom or merely make a brief, impactful appearance remains to be seen. Marvel's penchant for surprises suggests either possibility could play out.
