Warning! This article contains SPOILERS for VisionQuest episode 8.The VisionQuest finale is now available on Disney+, and the episode adds to the long list of Marvel Cinematic Universe projects to feature a post-credits scene, which teases the future of a beloved character and breaks a negative trend. The MCU has made post-credit scenes a fan-favorite practice of superhero media, so whenever a genre movie or show does not have one, it is sorely missed.

There have been many memorable post-credits scenes throughout the MCU movie timeline, dating all the way back to Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury coming to Robert Downry Jr.'s Tony Stark to recruit him for the Avenger Initiative in 2008's Iron Man. More recently, many of the MCU TV shows on Disney+ in the Multiverse Saga have adhered to Marvel's post-credits scene practice.

Some of those have even directly set up new MCU movies, something that WandaVision, the first TV show in the trilogy that also features Agatha All Along and now comes to a close with Paul Bettany's VisionQuest, did for the controversial Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Vision's MCU solo series follows suit after an exciting 8-episode run.

VisionQuest has felt like a breath of fresh air for the MCU, bringing back many AIs as human avatars and explaining where those come from, all while following White Vision's quest to feel human and connect the memories from the original Vision with real emotions. VisionQuest's finale ends with an emotional encounter, and its post-credits scene sets up another possible reunion.

VisionQuest's Post-Credits Scene Breaks A Negative 2026 MCU Trend

Before going into the reunion set up by VisionQuest's post-credits scene, it is important to note that by including a sequence after the credits in the series finale, the latest MCU TV show on Disney+ has finally ended a disappointing 2026 Marvel streak. As mentioned before, post-credits scenes have become forever tied to the MCU experience, so whenever a movie or series does not feature them, it can be a little frustrating. Well, before VisionQuest, Marvel Studios released two live-action shows, Wonder Man, which had its season 2 renewal reversed, and Daredevil: Born Again season 2, with season 3 ending the series.

Choose the movie with the higher Rotten Tomatoes score.

Both Wonder Man and Daredevil: Born Again season 2 did not feature post-credits scenes, which is surprising, especially for the latter, given how season 1 teased where Jon Bernthal's Punisher would go next. That project was the live-action MCU Special Presentation The Punisher: One Last Kill, which also did not include a post-credits scene, even though Bernthal was set to return in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, so his MCU movie role could have been teased through an ending tag. Based on that, VisionQuest's post-credits scene breaks this negative MCU trend, being the only live-action Marvel release on the small screen in 2026 with a post-credits scene.

Where Could Ultron Appear Next After VisionQuest's Post-Credits Scene?

As for what happens in VisionQuest's post-credits scene, the sequence is focused on setting up the MCU future of James Spader's Ultron. After returning to the franchise for the first time since 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron, the character was shown to have changed over the years he spent inside Vision's mind, leaving behind his desire to end humanity, even though the loss of Jocasta in the VisionQuest finale momentarily made him become a villain again before Vision forced Ultron to change course and reassess.

That is precisely what VisionQuest's post-credits scene is all about. Rather than featuring the return of Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch or setting up Vision's possible role in Avengers: Doomsday, the MCU TV show chose to tease another possible reunion and love story. Ultron is now pretending to be his human avatar, which VisionQuest revealed to be Virgil Horton, the grandson of scientist Phineas Horton.

Spader's Marvel character also carries with him Jocasta's hard drive, teasing that he will try to rebuild her as he spends some time getting to know humanity and one day get his happy ending, a poignant final note for VisionQuest, a show about finding your humanity. As to which project Ultron might return in, that is a mystery, though his more intimate story setup suggests another potential MCU series before a possible movie return, though the revival of a project like Armor Wars or having Ultron in an Iron Man movie after Avengers: Secret Wars soft reboots the MCU would make sense.
