Avengers: Doomsday: Doctor Doom Variant Identity Hints Emerge

One of the most persistent rumors surrounding Avengers: Doomsday may have taken a major turn. A new update hints at the identity of one female Doctor Doom variant, with increasing speculation that a certain former ally of Captain America could now stand on the opposite side of the battlefield. Could Peggy be one of Doctor Doom’s variants in Avengers: Doomsday? Peggy Carter could be one of Doctor Doom’s variants in Avengers: Doomsday, based on current rumors. On January 19, 2026, scooper @MyTimeToShineHello posted “Good Steve vs Evil Peggy.” The next day, they followed up with “MCU Steve vs Doom Peggy.” This suggests a confrontation between Steve Rogers and a dark variant of Peggy Carter, possibly connected to Doctor Doom. Rumors have previously stated that Hayley Atwell is portraying “multiple versions of Peggy in Avengers Doomsday.” This follows speculation that Doctor Doom’s team will include female Doom variants. Marvel has not confirmed these reports or Atwell’s casting. The film is expected to include Captain Carter, who debuted in What If…? and later appeared in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, where Scarlet Witch killed her. The story may also include the Peggy Carter variant who reunited with Steve Rogers at the end of Avengers: Endgame. There is additional speculation that multiple super soldier variants may appear, including Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes, John Walker, and Alexei Shostakov. The possibility of an evil Peggy working with Doom fits within these unverified rumors. When asked about Avengers: Doomsday in a Collider interview, Hayley Atwell said, “Really? Who…on Reddit? Who’s doing that? Who’s saying that?” In a separate Den of Geek interview, she commented, “I would love that. There are so many things that she could do,” referring to Captain Carter as “an underserved character.” Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled for release on December 18, 2026.
