Marvel Studios has revealed a new “Avengers: Doomsday” poster, giving the audience a closer look not only at Doctor Doom but also at the three Latverian witches who will accompany him this December.
This latest look at the new Marvel Cinematic Universe movie was shared on social media as part of this weekend’s San Diego Comic-Con Málaga in Spain. It was an event that saw stars like Anthony Mackie, Winston Duke, and David Harbor make an appearance, with this latest look coming arriving as a little more than a high-res look at Robert Downey Jr’s take on a classic comic book villain.
Doctor Doom takes centre stage in the new “Avengers: Doomsday” poster. He’s looking as menacing as ever, striking a pose similar to the one we’ve seen before but with somewhat better lighting. The real highlight from the new poster, however, is the three Latverian witches standing behind him.
These three witches–and their hidden identities–have been the subject of much debate amongst MCU fans the last few months. These same mystery characters brought their purple, red, and green robes to San Diego Comic-Con in California this past July. The average onlooker might assume these characters will be little more than henchmen to be discarded in a massive CGI fight sequence, but some aren’t so convinced.
Many believe the faces behind these cold metal masks may be ones we’ve seen before. Prominent theories suspect the witch with the red robes could be Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff, with the green-robed witch’s secret identity being Loki show alum Sophia Di Martino’s Sylvie.
While not everyone has landed on the same answer for these aforementioned witches, fans are truly split when it comes to who the character wearing the purple robe is. Some say it’s Kathryn Hahn’s Agatha Harkness, while others believe it’s Charlize Theron’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness cameo character, Clea.
As these are all just theories for now, there’s always the chance all three Latverian witches could be nothing more than Doom drones for the Avengers to fight through. Still, recent developments in the MCU have led some to believe Avengers: Doomsday has some secret cameos it’s saving for theatres.
