VisionQuest ended its run with Episode 8, “Eternally,” which noticed the ultimate battle between Imaginative and prescient (Paul Bettany), Ultron (James Spader), and new Marvel Cinematic Universe foes Jocasta (T’Nia Miller) and Phineas Horton (Spader once more). That battle happened within the bodily world, as Imaginative and prescient’s “son” Tommy Maximoff (Ruaridh Mollica) and allies just like the Paladin (Todd Stashwick) stormed Phineas Horton’s compound to free Imaginative and prescient. That very same battle prolonged into the metaphysical world, as Imaginative and prescient needed to battle Ultron in his mind-palace to cease the psychotic robotic from unleashing a swarm of nanobots upon humanity.
Ultimately (SPOILERS), Imaginative and prescient was in a position to discuss Ultron down and nonetheless keep away from demise himself, due to a last-minute save from his sons, Billy (Joe Locke) and Tommy. The sequence additionally introduced again the custom of getting two post-credits scenes, which arrange a number of new developments that can unfold within the MCU. One scene confirmed Ultron (disguised in human type) considering resurrect his love, Jocasta, utilizing a tough drive backup of her consciousness. The opposite post-credits scene straight arrange Avengers: Doomsday by revealing that Physician Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) has resurrected Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), to harness her energy for his multiversal mission.
Why VisionQuest‘s Scarlet Witch Scene Confirms Avengers: Doomsday‘s “Latverian Witch” Principle
Throughout San Diego Comedian-Con 2026, Marvel Studios stunned followers by unveiling a show of some beforehand unseen costumes from Avengers: Doomsday. The costumes have been for a set of three masked and robed characters referred to as the “Latverian Witches,” who have been recognized as mystical disciples of Doom, with a fourth masked determine named “Boris” performing as Doom’s proper hand. There have been compelling theories about which MCU characters have been behind these masks, with the most well-liked guesses being:
| Crimson Witch | Inexperienced Witch | Purple Witch | “Boris” |
| Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch | Sylvie (Loki Variant) | Clea | Physician Unusual |
Now, VisionQuest has confirmed that Wanda has been recruited by Doom, which just about confirms that she will likely be one of many Latverian Witches: the one in purple robes, who’s featured as essentially the most distinguished of the trio in all of the promotional posters and paintings we’ve seen. With that key piece of the puzzle in place, different rumors in regards to the Latverian Witches all of a sudden appear way more plausible.
When Marvel followers noticed the costume for Boris, most of them instantly discerned that the character was Physician Unusual (Benedict Cumberbatch), because of the conspicuous placement of a 3rd eye gap in Boris’s helmet-mask, coinciding with Unusual gaining a 3rd eye because of his experiments with the Darkhold in Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity. The post-credits scene of that movie confirmed Unusual gaining a robust mystical ally in Clea (Charlize Theron), a sorceress who introduced Unusual to the Darkish Dimension. If Unusual is recruited by Doom, then it’s not exhausting to think about him taking the two-fer of each Unusual and Clea.
Lastly, Loki star Sophia Di Martino (who performs Sylvie) had the Marvel fandom in an uproar this summer season when she made a imprecise Instagram put up claiming that she’s “Engaged on one thing a bit totally different,” after which “appreciated” a fan remark asking if it was a “Latveria Witch” function. It wasn’t the primary time Di Martino dropped clues a few Doomsday return: each she and her stunt double caught Marvel followers’ consideration final 12 months, once they have been noticed within the neighborhood of Avengers: Doomsday‘s shoot over in London. So the (inexperienced) dye has already been solid, and it’s exhausting to backtrack now.
Clea is clearly a personality we don’t know sufficient about but, however Sylvie, Wanda, and Stephen Unusual are all characters who’ve important mystical talents, in addition to expertise touring the Multiverse and going through the temptation of alternate lives in alternate realities. Doom exploiting these vulnerabilities is sensible; it additionally units up a compelling arc for the Latverian Witches and Boris to (ultimately) come to their senses and make a pivotal stand in opposition to Doom in Avengers: Secret Wars.
Whereas there may be nonetheless no agency affirmation, there may be sufficient circumstantial proof to say we just about know who the Latverian Witches are going to be. That stated, there’s additionally been a principle that the Witches and Boris will stay masked all through Doomsday, and their identities will solely be revealed on the very finish (or in a post-credits scene), establishing a bigger arc to come back in Secret Wars.
We’ll discover out when Avengers: Doomsday is launched in theaters on December 18th. Do you consider this principle in regards to the identies fo the Latverian Witches? Tell us within the feedback!
