New Avengers: Doomsday Poster Highlights Doctor Doom and Latverian Witches
Marvel Studios debuted a new Avengers: Doomsday poster at San Diego Comic-Con Málaga in Spain, offering a high-resolution look at Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom alongside three mysterious Latverian witches ahead of the film’s December 18, 2026 release. The poster was unveiled on October 3, showcasing Doctor Doom at the bottom of a grand staircase flanked by the three robed figures in red, green, and purple.
San Diego Comic-Con Málaga Reveal Sparks Fan Theories
The poster release follows months of fan speculation that began when the mystery characters appeared in their purple, red, and green robes at San Diego Comic-Con in California in July. Viewers remain divided on whether these characters are merely expendable henchmen or established Marvel Cinematic Universe figures in disguise. Prominent fan theories suggest Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff could be the red-robed witch, while Sophia Di Martino’s Sylvie from the Loki series is widely suspected to be the green-robed figure. Meanwhile, speculation for the purple-robed character is split between Kathryn Hahn’s Agatha Harkness and Charlize Theron’s Clea, who appeared in a Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness cameo.
Anthony Mackie Teases Non-Stop Pandemonium
Cast member Anthony Mackie discussed the scale of the upcoming film during his appearance at the Spanish convention, noting the relentless tension built into the narrative. X/Twitter user @CatherineComTH captured Mackie telling the audience that audiences will be surprised by the sheer amount of danger present in every scene. Every corner we turn and every time somebody speaks, it’s like, ‘There’s a lot of doom outside,’
Mackie said, describing the atmosphere as non-stop pandemonium. He added that directors Joe and Anthony Russo maintained the character-focused approach seen in Avengers: Endgame, ensuring every individual gets a moment for the audience to connect and grieve with them.
Alternative Perspectives on the Latverian Witches
While some highlight the prevailing theories surrounding Wanda, Sylvie, Agatha, and Clea, other reports broaden the candidate pool by pointing to other magical figures from the franchise. Characters from Agatha All Along—including Jennifer Kale or Death—could potentially fill the roles, alongside Bruce Banner, given that Doctor Doom kidnaps him at the conclusion of Avengers: Endgame Encore. Despite the extensive speculation regarding potential secret cameos saved for theatrical release, reports emphasize that Marvel Studios has officially revealed very little about the Latverian witches, leaving fans to wonder whether they hold deeper narrative significance or simply serve as combat obstacles for the Avengers.
