Doctor Doom’s Team in AVENGERS DOOMSDAY Explained!

Doctor Strange, stand up for yourself. against Doctor Doom. Here's how our. three-eyed doctor becomes Doom's. sheriff. I'm Eric Voss of the New. Rockstars channel, and several new. updates about Avengers: Doomsday have. been coming out with regards to these. Latverian witches we saw on display at. San Diego Comic-Con, including a new one. that might be fake, but everyone seems. to think if it's real, it's Doctor. Strange. This plus some confirmations. from Chris Evans at the Boston Fan Expo. and some other little details we missed. from San Diego. I'm going to break down. all the new things we learned about. Avengers: Doomsday in this video. We.

have so many great Marvel-themed designs. available at our merch store. nerdriod.shop, specifically shirts that. you see Peter Parker wearing in. Spider-Man: Brand New Day, like Delmar's.

Okay, we are seeing some. rumors that tickets for Avengers: Doomsday might go on sale on Friday, August 14th at 9:00 a.m. Pacific time. No word yet on whether that will be. accompanied by a trailer for the film, like the Doctor Doom-centered trailer. that we saw exclusively in Hall H. If. something does drop on Friday morning, New Rockstars will have a video breaking. it down on Friday. Trust me, we're going. to be all over it. But, I also think. Friday, August 14th at 9:00 a.m. has. some additional significance, as that is. precisely the same time in which the.

doors will open to the public for D23 in. Anaheim, which will include some. interesting Marvel booth displays, as I. understand it. I will actually be on. site there covering that event, and I. will actually get to see the floor a bit. early. So, I will report anything I see. for you there. So, yes, if any Doomsday. news comes out, I'm going to find a very. quiet corner and get to work. It's going. to be a crazy busy day. I cannot wait. And one of the things I think we will. see on display at D23 are the Latverian. witches that we saw at San Diego. Comic-Con, plus perhaps a new one. There.

was a costume shared by this account on. Twitter/X. We have not been able to. confirm the authenticity of this, but. it's worth noting that Disney has not. issued a takedown notice, which suggests. to me that either it's not real at all. or that Disney is just about to unveil. them to the public on Friday, anyway. What we see is a metal mask with a hole. in the forehead and robes draped over. armor in a dark brown or dark bronze. color. Based on the full body angle, I. would say that this character is male or. not just gender specific compared to the. three Latverian which costumes we saw on.

display at Comic-Con, the ones that were. green, brown, and purple. There's also. some speculation that this figure might. be named Boris, which could be a. reference to Boris Carella, the. Latverian man who was a member of the. Zefiro clan and close friends with. Victor von Doom's parents, Werner and. Cynthia, who took in young Victor after. the parents died, but was always afraid. of this boy as he increased his powers. If this is real, the most obvious. explanation would be that Boris is. actually Doctor Strange. The way Strange. was left in Doctor Strange in the. Multiverse of Madness with a third eye. in his head. Since Doomsday and Secret. Wars are confirmed to be adapting.

Jonathan Hickman's Time Runs Out and. Secret Wars 2015 crossover event, God. Emperor Doom uses Doctor Strange as his. sheriff in Battleworld. Concept art from. 2025 seemed to point in that direction. We are still looking for answers as to. what happened to Strange and Clea in the. Multiverse of Madness post-credit scene. >> You caused an incursion, and we're going. to fix it. Unless you're afraid. >> Not in the least. >> We also don't quite know why exactly.

Strange formed that third eye. Like it. was really just believed that it was his. experiences with Sinister Strange, who. also had one of those, and of course our. Doctor Strange dreamwalking into the. corpse of Defender Strange from the 616. universe and forming that unholy. alliance with the souls of the damned. There was this line from Wong that. seemed to precede the opening of the. third eye. >> How you feeling? Why do you ask? You used the dark hold to dreamwalk into. your own corpse. >> Oh. Yeah, right, that.

Fine. >> Then earlier this year, scooper Daniel. RPK reported that in Avengers: Doomsday, Doctor Doom's right-hand man in the. movie will be a wizard who uses a sling. ring and wears a mask similar to Doom's, but with a slot for a third eye on the. forehead. This image seems to perfectly. line up with that, which again I should. say, since we cannot confirm it, it. could also just mean that someone out. there used some AI to make a depiction. of a fan theory that many believe to be. true. While Benedict Cumberbatch has not. yet been confirmed to be in Avengers. Doomsday, we very much expect him to be. in the movie. Robert Downey Jr.'s Easter.

Sunday Instagram post included Easter. egg designs in Doctor Doom's basket for. every character in team confirmed for. Doomsday, and included designs for. Spider-Man and Doctor Strange, even. though Tom Holland and Benedict. Cumberbatch haven't yet been confirmed. for the film. Some of the images that. have come out of this Boris figure show. his arm outstretched in a way that does. look like the framing of Doctor Strange. holding out his hand to retrieve the. time stone to surrender it to Thanos in. Avengers: Infinity War. And I do think. Avengers: Doomsday will establish that. among the 14,605. visions that Doctor Strange had in that. movie included some of these stories.

glimpsed in the first four teasers of. the film. Yeah, I think Doctor Strange. saw Victor Von Doom when he did that, even if he thought that the base that he. saw really belonged to Tony Stark at the. time. That could be why Strange was so. shaken when he got out of those visions. and looked directly into Tony's face. I. also think that when the Ancient One. told this to Bruce Banner in Avengers: Endgame, she was really referring to a. possible future with Doom. >> The Infinity Stones create what you. experience as the flow of time. Remove one of the stones, and that flow splits. In this new branch.

reality, without our chief weapon. against the forces of darkness, our world would be overrun. Millions. will suffer. >> And then right after that, the Ancient. One says, >> But tell me, Doctor, can your science prevent all that? >> Yeah, her mind may have been dwelling on. another doctor who tried to apply. science to prevent the suffering of. millions. When I reported on the three. Latverian witches that I saw at San. Diego Comic-Con, I speculated that they. might be masked in order to hide. identities of known Marvel figures.

Actually, here's what Anthony Russo told. Extra about what the Latverian witches. are, and we had to put subtitles over. this because Anthony Mackie is right off. screen answering his questions very. charismatically to a nearby interviewer. drowning out the sound. >> What about the witches? Can you tell us. about that? Those have been going viral. Um they're changing colors. I don't. know. >> Look at we're. we're just getting to know the world of. Doom and the witches are our sort of. elemental part of everything everything. he is. >> Yeah, [laughter] while Anthony Mackie.

was over there saying, "HOLD MY BEER.". The quieter Anthony said that witches. are an elemental part of who Doctor Doom. is. So, what does that mean? Well, the. purple one I actually joined in the. speculation that that could be Charlize. Theron as Clea. I really like the idea. that after the post-credit scene in. Multiverse of Madness, Doctor Strange. and Clea end up as part of an order of. priests or witches who serve Doctor. Doom, similar to the Black Swan. priestesses who serve Rama-Tut before we. realize he's actually Doctor Doom in. Hickman's comic storyline. There's been. a lot of speculation that the Green.

Witch could be Sylvie from Loki and that. the Brown Witch could be Wanda Maximoff. or just variants of these women, but I'm. not so sure. I prefer the theory that. the Green Witch could be a variant of. Susan Storm. I don't know if I'd go as. far as to say it was actually the Green. Witch whom Franklin Richards was looking. into the face of in the Fantastic Four. post-credit scene, that maybe it was his. mother's face under that mask that so. mystified this child. I only doubt that. because Matt Shakman confirmed to. Brandon Davis that it actually was. Robert Downey Jr. on set for that scene, but I do like the theory that the Brown. Witch could be a variant of Peggy. Carter. Brown being a reflection of the.

type of clothes that she wore in the. '40s in Captain America: The First. Avenger. Technically, Hayley Atwell was. not even confirmed to be in Doomsday. until they brought her out on stage at. Comic-Con and she actually dropped some. details in various interviews after the. panel that a lot of us overlooked. Like. in this interview with Collider's Steven. Weintraub where she talked about Robert. Downey Jr.'s presence as Doom on set. >> I think I didn't ask in part because. his his presence on set was so enigmatic. as Doom, like. Robert in in between takes, like he.

invites people to eat lunch with him and. he's so super open and fun and wants. everyone to have a good time, and that's. where. the good work happens cuz we all feel. like we can thrive cuz we're all in it. together. But when he's Doom, it's it's so. enigmatic. It's so um. domineering that it's it's it's really. intimidating. It's and very powerful. So. when you're in And also when I was in. scenes, I didn't want that sort of. illusion to be broken for me. So I kept. that feeling of. I don't know who this person really is.

and what they're capable of. But I just know there's a darkness. there. >> Whoa, so Atwell confirmed right there. that she will be in scenes with Robert. Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom, which isn't. the case for all of the characters in. this cast. Like Tenoch Huerta, for. example, indicated that Namor won't even. share any actual scenes with Doctor. Doom. Atwell also said this cryptic. statement. >> No, all I will say is that it is it's. sort of an existential crisis of a. movie. >> Okay. >> Where the whole world is turned on its. head. And we don't even know who we are. anymore.

>> The world is turned upside down and we. don't even know who we are anymore? Yeah, that sounds to me like she could. be playing an alternate version of Peggy. Carter who is in service to someone. else, someone she's now describing as. enigmatic. And she did keep using the. term existential in all of these. interviews as if to say maybe Victor von. Doom is going to make the case that. Steve's life with Peggy shouldn't even. exist. And so maybe with these witches, he's making them out of the life. partners of the three heroes who pose. the biggest threats to him. Peggy. Carter, the partner to Steve, Susan. Storm, the partner to Reed Richards, and.

Clea, the partner to Doctor Strange. Taking their wives and making them his. own. Make of that what you will. But. either way, it's certainly going to get. personal between Doctor Doom and Steve. Rogers in this movie because at Boston. Fan Expo last week and Chris Evans told. our buddy Joe Deckelmayer about his. return to the Avengers franchise. >> None of the stories felt. like they were worth compromising. You. know, I don't know if you want to call. it whatever the the the. legacy of the character that we worked. hard for and and you want to make sure.

it's worth telling. Um. and then for Doomsday when Downey came. back and. uh the Russos gave me the pitch, uh what. what they. The Russos love beat up Steve Rogers. Their favorite thing to do is to just. beat them crap out of him, you know, like. to them that's what makes a hero, not. someone who never gets punched, but. someone who gets punched so many times. who still gets up. And uh so they keep. finding new ways to kick his butt. Uh.

and this one was. brutal. Uh and and a really, really good. examination of his nature and and his. values. And uh and so I'll say it's it's. probably something you guys haven't seen. yet, but you will. >> Mhm. I think the new brutality that. Evans is talking about when it comes to. Steve is Steve having to watch horrible. things happen to Peggy. Comment down. below with your thoughts on all this. And hey, a special thanks to one of our. NR Underground subscribers, Jeremy. Dunham, for supporting us at the.

executive producer level every week on. the NR Underground audio feed. Subscribers can listen to our Monday. mailbag podcast where we answer your. questions. Here's a little clip where I. talked about my recent stupid mistake. trying to report nerdy news from. Comic-Con. >> It was stupid of me to imply being as. any kind of gaggle who is in within. eyeline of Denzel Washington when it. sounds like Denzel Washington was not in. San Diego at all. Not at all. So uh we didn't know that. until the end of the Marvel panel. But what's really crazy is the.

conclusion that I jumped to was. accurate. Ryan Coogler was there. That. was the big announcement that they made. at the end of the Marvel panel. They. announced that David Johnson's going to. be the new Black Panther, T'Challa Jr., Prince T'Challa. So like weirdly while. Denzel wasn't right, the the more. important conclusion. uh that I jumped to was right. So I didn't I didn't get fully made fun. of, but I I did get some I I can say now. well-deserved criticism for for even.

reporting the rumor of Denzel. Washington. And I I think the lesson. that I learned is that like I think even. say reporting rumors. is something that because I so rarely do. it at New Rockstars because I'm normally. a guy who's not so much of a scooper. who's just saying here's what I'm. hearing. I think when I do do it a lot. of people start to listen and they're. like, "Okay, maybe there's something to. this." And there's a power in that that. I didn't realize that I had. >> You can join this exclusive dialogue. with me by clicking the link in the. description below. We're going to n. ourunderground.supercast.com.
