Green, Orange, Purple: ‘Avengers Doomsday’ Costume Swap Sparks Fan Theories

Marvel Studios has transformed a simple costume display into an intriguing mystery, and this time, it’s multiplied. What started as a single mannequin at the studio’s San Diego Comic Con booth has expanded into three distinct figures, each raising new questions about who might be concealed beneath those matching masks.

The expansion came as Marvel’s ‘Avengers Doomsday’ display showcased its third unique version of the Latverian Witch costume, cycling through green, orange, and now purple robes over consecutive days of the convention. Rather than merely indicating a single costume swap, the presence of three visually distinct versions has ignited a different theory among fans.

Speculation has shifted from the notion of a single mysterious character to the possibility that these represent three separate witches, each potentially linked to a different familiar face from the Marvel multiverse. Fans have specifically suggested names like Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch, Sophia Di Martino’s Sylvie Laufeydottir, and Charlize Theron’s Clea as potential candidates hiding behind the trio of masks.

This theory aligns with earlier reports suggesting that Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom could be accompanied by a group of female variants throughout the film rather than just one companion. If true, each costume color could symbolize a distinct character serving under Doom, creating a coven-like presence formed from familiar heroes twisted into something darker.

The costume design has remained consistent across all three versions, featuring flowing robes secured with metallic clasps, a hooded cloak partially obscuring a silver face mask, and a belt adorned with a silver diamond buckle whose exact significance is still unclear. This unchanging silhouette combined with the shifting colors has only heightened the sense that each variant represents something deliberately distinct rather than a simple display update.

Fans have also noted that purple, orange, and green are three of the six colors traditionally associated with the Infinity Stones from earlier MCU films, adding yet another layer to the ongoing speculation about what Marvel might be building toward. Whether this connection is intentional or merely coincidental remains an open question as we approach the film’s Hall H panel.

Other theories have ventured into darker, more personal territory, with some rumors suggesting that one of these witches could be linked to Doom through a familial connection rather than a purely professional alliance. In this scenario, her eventual fate within the story could serve as the emotional catalyst driving Doom toward the destructive path hinted at in the film’s marketing.

The witches are just one part of a much larger costume display Marvel has created for the film this year, which also features looks for Thor, Cyclops, Gambit, Captain America, Yelena Belova, and Sue Storm, alongside a comic-accurate Sentinel head. This scale reflects just how massive an ensemble ‘Avengers Doomsday’ is shaping up to be, uniting heroes from across three distinct universes.

With Marvel’s Hall H panel for ‘Avengers Doomsday’ still ahead this weekend, many fans are eager for the studio to finally clarify what these three witches truly represent. Given the attention a simple costume rotation has already garnered, Marvel has clearly succeeded in turning convention floor speculation into genuine anticipation for the panel itself.

Whether these three figures turn out to be three separate legacy characters, three variants of the same person, or something else entirely, the mystery has become one of the most discussed topics of the entire convention.
