- Quick Answer: Leaked promo art reveals four color-costumed Latverian Witches in Avengers: Doomsday, igniting fan theories that Doctor Strange, Wanda, Clea, or Sylvie are under the masks.
Marvel Studios teased the appearance of the Latverian Witches in Avengers: Doomsday during its return at the recent San Diego Comic-Con, prompting fans to theorize about who could be the fourth Doom Witch.
As one of the most famous witches in the MCU, many believe Scarlet Witch could return for the fifth Avengers movie.
Sure, she could be one of them, but there may be a surprising twist that could change the game.
Who Is One of the Latverian Witches in Avengers: Doomsday?
A new Avengers: Doomsday leak features promotional photos of the four Doom Witches, with each one wearing green, orange, purple, and brown costumes.
But aside from the different clothing colors, there’s one distinct difference with the one in the brown costume: a circle on the forehead of its mask.
This has sparked theories among fans, with some thinking this could be Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch). But how could this happen?
In Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, a third eye suddenly appears on his forehead before Clea (Charlize Theron) shows up and takes him away.
Since then, Strange hasn’t been seen in the MCU. But that may finally change when Doomsday comes out.
In the Secret Wars comics, Strange becomes one of Victor Von Doom’s right-hand men after Doom creates a new world in his image.
Sure, Doomsday would come before Secret Wars, but the former could explain Strange’s absence from the main MCU storyline after he went to another dimension with Clea.
Strange might have been captured by Doom, giving the villain an even greater boost to his already immense power.
However, fans should take this assumption with a grain of salt, as nothing has been confirmed yet.
Who Are the Other Latverian Witches in Avengers: Doomsday?
It’s no surprise that one of the Latverian Witches in Avengers: Doomsday could be Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff, aka Scarlet Witch.
After her last appearance at Mount Wundagore in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, this could be her way of returning to the MCU.
Wanda may join Doctor Doom, with the villain preying on her desire for redemption after her villainous turn in the second Doctor Strange movie.
There are also theories that Doom could use Scarlet Witch’s red chaos magic once she becomes one of his followers.
Another witch could be Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell). Peggy may take advantage of Doom’s agenda and see it as a way to “fix the current state of the Multiverse,” which is partially the fault of Steve Rogers (Chris Evans).
But since Peggy is not known for being a witch and doesn’t possess any magical abilities, Doom could have another witch pretending to be her to torment her husband.
In fact, this has already happened in Multiverse of Madness, where Clea helped Doctor Strange “fix” an incursion that he caused.
So while Clea might not return in Doomsday, she could be the witch pretending to be Peggy and even be the one who recruited Strange.
Lastly, Sophia Di Martino could reprise her role as Sylvie in Doomsday following her last appearance in Loki Season 2.
As one of the first characters to introduce the idea of the Multiverse, variants, and several other key concepts in the MCU, she may play an important role in the movie, especially with her advanced magical abilities.
As the one who killed He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors), Sylvie is responsible for opening the Infinite Multiverse that leads to Doomsday. Doom may manipulate her into joining his cause to fix the Incursions caused by her actions.
Avengers: Doomsday is set to hit theaters on December 18.
