Three robes, three colors, zero confirmed names. That’s all fans have of Doctor Doom’s mysterious Latverian witches, and it has been enough to set the MCU rumor mill on fire. Now one of the film’s directors has stirred the pot a little more.

What Anthony Russo Said?
Speaking to ExtraTV, Russo described the witches as an essential part of who Doom is. He explained that the team is only starting to introduce Doom’s world, and the witches are woven into it from the beginning. It’s a short comment, but it suggests they aren’t just background decoration.
What the Comic-Con Display Showed?
The display featured three female figures in long, hooded robes, each with clasps on the shoulders similar to those on Doom’s own costumes. One costume was green, Doom’s signature color, while the other two were purple and gold. Importantly, the witches haven’t appeared in any official marketing for the film. The Comic-Con display is the only sighting so far.
The Big Fan Theories
| Theory | Why fans suggest it | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) | She hasn’t been seen since her apparent death in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) | Pure speculation |
| Sylvie | A magic-wielding multiverse character | Unconfirmed |
| Peggy Carter | A multiverse-linked heroine | Unconfirmed |
| Clea | A well-known sorceress in Marvel Comics | Unconfirmed |
| Original characters | Russo’s comments hint they’re tied closely to Doom | Seems most likely |
Based on Russo’s remarks, the witches seem more likely to be original characters connected to Doom than returning heroes. That would give the villain magical backup as he targets the multiverse. For more MCU theories and updates, see Technosports’ entertainment coverage.
Possible Roles in the Story
Here is what analysts of the story are speculating:
- Doom’s allies: Think of them as the MCU’s version of magical helpers, similar in spirit to the Nightsisters who support Thrawn in Ahsoka.
- Latveria lore: They could appear in Doom’s backstory, helping build the world of his homeland before some unknown disaster hits it.
- Future payoff: If they matter enough, they might return in Avengers: Secret Wars.
They might also stay under wraps for a while, since many mysteries remain before release.
Why This Matters?
Doom is reportedly the central figure of Doomsday, with dozens of heroes sharing the screen. A magical supporting cast would make his threat feel bigger and more personal.

Nothing about the witches’ identities is confirmed, and Scarlet Witch’s return remains a theory. But Russo’s comments make one thing clear: they matter. Until the trailers drop, the mystery is half the fun.
