EXCLUSIVE: The Marvel Cinematic Universe has finished a massive era.

The MCU timeline is getting closer to finishing the Multiverse Saga, with only a handful of projects left in its Phase 6 slate. However, as they get ready for Avengers: Doomsday next month, the franchise has officially completed another trilogy.

In an interview with ScreenRant's Andy Behbakht for the VisionQuest finale, showrunner Terry Matalas talked about the events of episode 8, "Forever," including the Maximoff reunion between Paul Bettany's hero and his sons, Billy and Tommy, with Joe Locke reprising his role as Wiccan from Agatha All Along. The last time viewers saw Billy was in 2024, as he was off with Agatha Harkness to look for his twin brother.

When Matalas was asked if there were any initial ideas to try to have Kathryn Hahn return as Agatha in VisionQuest episode 8 or if they weren't able to work that out, the executive producer began by stating that "We can’t afford Kathryn Hahn! First of all, the second you bring Kathryn Hahn into a scene, it’s a Kathryn Hahn scene."

He elaborated, "It’s really about Agatha, and in that moment of the reunion, it needed to be about Billy. [It] needed to be about Tommy. So you can’t detract from the story you’re trying to tell just because it would be neat to see Agatha, and so that’s really the core of it." However, Matalas stressed, "Down the line, of course, you’d want to see what’s going on with Billy in his head and his imaginary friend with Agatha. It’s a fun idea that we leaned into with him talking to her in that moment. But it’s got to be the story of these three characters: Vision, Tommy, and Billy."

Rearrange the movies into the correct US release order.

The interview, which took place prior to the final episode being released on Disney+, which had the massive post-credits scene revealing Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch still being alive. When asked about Tommy, Billy, and Vision's reunion, and if the creative team was ever tempted to have Wanda somehow back with their big family moment, or if budget reasons made that tricky, Matalas addressed how far they were willing to go with utilizing the popular witch if they had decided to do it.

He explained that "If you were going to do it, you would do it for her, right? But again, it becomes about Wanda the second that moment happens." Matalas confirmed that "We had many conversations about it, and by the time we got to where we got to when you watch the finale, this felt like the right way. And also, there [are] a lot of conversations that are above my pay grade as to what the future of all that MCU stuff is."

In the end, the version of this Maximoff family reunion was something that worked best for the VisionQuest TV show, as he stated, "But what was right about this was this story about the Maximoff boys being reunited and the story of Vision and his father." However, he made it clear that Olsen's beloved character is "a major component in all of it. She kicked off all this, but how would you do it that wouldn’t change that emotion of what we were trying to do? [There were] many, many conversations about it, but I think we got to a good place about it."

VisionQuest is streaming on Disney+.
