Avengers: Doomsday merchandise is starting to show up worldwide, and today it brings a new look at Doctor Doom's mysterious Latverian Witches.
Many fans are convinced familiar faces from the wider MCU will be behind those masks, though there's a chance they're not as important to the movie's plot as they seem. Still, there has to be a reason for their inclusion in Avengers: Doomsday, and only time will tell what that is.
Another big talking point from the items below is the inclusion of Iron Man, The Hulk, and Captain America. They're each being sold under the Avengers: Doomsday banner, leading to theories that we should expect surprise appearances from them in the movie.
It's not impossible, but this is likely just an example of three iconic MCU characters getting new merch that's guaranteed to sell. The fact that Marvel considered it necessary to include them in this lineup arguably says a lot about the lack of excitement surrounding many of Avengers: Doomsday's actual leads.
Asked recently if he and brother Joe have been enlisted to save the MCU with Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, Anthony said, "It’s a great question. It’s part of the unique challenge. The thing that Joe and I have always appreciated about our collaboration with Marvel is: Our job isn’t to answer for the entirety of the MCU."
The filmmaker continued, "We intersect it in a very specific way. It’s that intersection which is where we can make sense of things."
