A new look at a costume from Marvel Studios' Avengers: Doomsday is inciting theories about an appearance by Scarlet Witch star Elizabeth Olsen. Doomsday is already being set up as the biggest movie coming from any studio this year, led by Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom and featuring dozens of major names from the MCU and past Marvel films. Now, more information from the movie is coming, including looks at characters who have never been seen before.
Marvel Studios shared a new look at a character from Avengers: Doomsday called the "Latverian Witch."
Photos taken exclusively by The Direct's Lauren Rouse show a female character standing in front of a green, stained-glass window, wearing a long set of green robes that resemble those of Doctor Doom.
Along with clasps on the shoulders and a green cloak, the character has the hood on the cloak over her head and a green belt with a clunky green buckle on her stomach.
The character also dons a silver mask reminiscent of the one Doctor Doom wears, which he always has on to cover his scarred face. This one does not have as much detailing on it as the main Doom mask, but it has a more defined set of lips on the bottom.
This character also wears a detailed belt clasp with a silver diamond design in the center, the origins of which are unknown at the time of writing.
Finally, the costume is completed by a set of silver metal gloves on the Latverian Witch's hands, complete with a slightly hidden design on the back.
This comes as theories flood the internet about Elizabeth Olsen's possible return to the MCU as the Scarlet Witch, which could be in the form of the Latverian Witch. Olsen has not been seen in an MCU project since Wanda Maximoff was seemingly killed off in 2022's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Many are theorizing that her magic could be something that Doctor Doom goes after, as he is known to be a master of some forms of magic in the comics.
Should this be a role Olsen is playing, it could be a multiversal variant of Wanda Maximoff that Doom enlists to help him in his conquest of the multiverse. She could find a way to make him even more powerful from a magic perspective, due to her status as one of the most powerful characters in the entire Marvel universe.
Additionally, Marvel recently revealed a Doctor Doom action figure with plastic attachments that resemble a red shade of magic. This could be another indication of a partnership between Doom and a variant of Wanda Maximoff, who may be reimagined as being Latverian instead of boasting her usual Sokovian roots.
Avengers: Doomsday will be the MCU's fifth Avengers movie and the third theatrical release in Marvel Studios' Phase 6 slate. Behind Robert Downey Jr.'s Victor Von Doom, almost three dozen major Marvel stars are confirmed for the cast, as the Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four have to team up to stop Doom from destroying the multiverse. Avengers: Doomsday will be released in theaters on December 18, 2026.
