AMC App Experiences Slowdown as Marvel Fans Rush for Doomsday Tickets After VisionQuest Finale

Marvel fans encountered trouble with the AMC Theatres app on the night of November 10, shortly after the VisionQuest season finale aired on Disney+. The episode included a post-credits scene that all but confirmed a character will appear in Avengers: Doomsday, prompting many viewers to try buying tickets for the upcoming film.

Users reported seeing an error message asking them to “please try again” and were unable to navigate the app. An AMC Theatres spokesperson told IGN that the app did not crash, but confirmed a 30-minute period where “some transactions were taking longer than normal.” Tickets continued to sell during that time, though some users may have encountered the error.

The post-credits scene, kept secret from the media, showed Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, being freed from rubble by Doctor Doom. The scene connects to the ending of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, where she appeared to sacrifice herself. Doctor Doom says, “Scarlet Witch, awaken. Your power will be mine,” and she reacts with shock.

Fans on social media celebrated the reveal, with comments like “That’s the Scarlet Witch effect!” and “Wanda impact.” One wrote that the crash happened “all because of Wanda Maximoff.” Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled for release on December 18, 2026.
