Marvel's VisionQuest Post-Credits Scene Explained: Full Breakdown

Contains spoilers for "VisionQuest" Season 1, Episode 8 — "Forever"

Marvel's Disney+ series "VisionQuest" sees the end of its inaugural (and possibly only) season after eight episodes. While the future of the show itself remains to be seen, there's a chance that its events will have plenty of repercussions in the MCU at large, especially with its final post-credits scene. Watch Looper's video above to find out just how the post-credits scene of "VisionQuest" plays out in the bigger picture.

Both the ending of the show proper and the post-credits stinger have quite a lot to do with the show's ultimate villain and overall most captivating character, Ultron (James Spader). The snarky AI antagonist has once again survived destruction — this time, through the remnants of his nanobots. The stinger also confirms that Jocasta's (T'Nia Miller) hard drive is in Ultron's possession, which means that a major Avengers villain and his lover are still very much running amok in the MCU as it heads toward "Avengers: Doomsday." 

Ultron's survival is notable because the villain actually does play a role in the 2015 Marvel Comics event "Secret Wars," a storyline that "Avengers: Doomsday" will likely lead up to and that "Avengers: Secret Wars" will probably adapt. "Secret Wars" finds Doctor Doom (played in the MCU by Robert Downey Jr.) becoming a powerful God Emperor who presides over a patchwork planet called Battleworld, which is all that's left of every universe.

On this planet, several heroes and villains rule their own regions — and a version of Ultron even his whole own thing going with a zombie-infested domain that's very humbly known as "Perfection." It would be a wild flex to bring Ultron back at the last minute on "VisionQuest" just so he can make a grand big screen return — perhaps even teaming up with a live-action version of the notably gory MCU project "Marvel Zombies."

MCU has already done a similar flex with the series' parent show "WandaVision," the events of which directly led to "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness." More recently, the Disney+ series "Loki" has crossed over into the movies big time, with aspects of the show featuring heavily in "Deadpool and Wolverine" and the ending of "Avenger: Endgame Encore." The future of the MCU may have just become far more James Spader-heavy than it seemed a while ago, and watching Looper's video above will let you know precisely how the "VisionQuest" post-credits scene might lead to this.
