Sophia Di Martino pushed Loki speculation back into focus on August 17 after liking an Instagram comment linking her to a Latverian Witch role in Avengers: Doomsday. The move followed a close-up post of her painting captioned, “Working on something a bit different.”
Latverian Witch Colors
Marvel showed four variations of the Latverian Witch costume in green, red, purple, and orange at San Diego Comic-Con last month, all fitted with a golden mask and hardware. That visual setup has kept fans trying to match the colors to who might be hiding behind them in Avengers: Doomsday.
“Latverian Witch?” was the comment Martino liked under her post, and that small tap gave the rumor fresh momentum. The interaction matters because it comes from someone already tied to Loki and Sylvie, while Tom Hiddleston’s Loki is already set to appear in Avengers: Doomsday.
Doctor Doom Link
The witches are linked to Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom, which is why the costume reveal turned into a wider cast puzzle instead of a simple design tease. Many Marvel fans think the masked figures could be known MCU heroes in disguise, with Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch and Charlize Theron’s Clea among the names being attached to the theory.
Marvel has yet to comment on the witches, so Martino’s Instagram activity on August 17 now sits right at the center of the speculation cycle. If she is involved, the like reads like a quiet signal; if she is not, it is still the kind of social-media nudge that keeps a December 18, 2026 release in circulation far beyond its official marketing beats.
Avengers: Doomsday Countdown
Avengers: Doomsday arrives in theaters on December 18, 2026, and the studio still has the simplest way to settle the debate: show who is behind the masks. Until then, the Latverian Witch theory is doing the work of a trailer, and Martino just gave it more oxygen.
