New Images Spark Rumors of Hidden MCU Icons in Avengers: Doomsday

A set of newly surfaced images from Avengers: Doomsday features four masked operatives dressed in attire reminiscent of Doctor Doom, igniting fan theories about concealed MCU personalities. One figure, dubbed Boris, bears a costume detail that mirrors Doctor Strange’s former third-eye wound, leading many to suspect the sorcerer’s involvement, possibly under the influence of the Darkhold. Another masked individual is thought to represent Wanda Maximoff, whose storyline ended ambiguously in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, making her potential return plausible.

Further speculation includes the sorceress Clea—previously played by Charlize Theron—alongside a range of other possible characters such as the Ancient One, Cynthia, Lady Death, Sylvie, Agatha, or even Peggy Carter. While the studio confirmed Chris Evans will rejoin the cast, it has remained tight-lipped about additional surprises. The final confirmation of these identities is expected when the film premieres in December, though leaks may surface beforehand.
