MCU fans think Doctor Doom might make his debut in the Marvel Phase 5 project you’d never expect

Imaginative Marvel fans believe Doctor Doom’s introduction in the MCU may come in an unexpected context: Agatha: Coven of Chaos.

As suggested in the r/MarvelTheories subreddit, Doctor Doom’s mother, Cynthia von Doom, might appear in the upcoming Disney Plus series to usher in her son’s arrival.

It’s an exciting idea considering the vital role Doctor Doom’s mother plays in his own story. Cynthia von Doom was a Romani sorceress and freedom fighter in the fictional country of Latveria. She married Werner von Doom, chief sorcerer and leader of the Zefiro tribe, and gave birth to a son called Victor, who later became Doctor Doom.

Cynthia is a complex and fascinating character. She led a resistance against The Baron, an autocratic nobleman who later became King Vladimir. She famously summoned demons and naively made a deal with Mephisto to help liberate her people from The Baron’s oppression. Cynthia dies trying to overthrow The Baron, and double-dealing Mephisto claims her mortal soul. Her son Doctor Doom devotes himself to liberating her from Mephisto’s grip in the afterworld.

It is unclear whether or not Cynthia von Doom will ever appear in Agatha: Coven of Chaos, but it’s still an intriguing idea.The show is a spinoff of WandaVision and tells the story of Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn). Even though the plot is still under wraps, there’s no doubt Cynthia would be a good fit for a show about a fellow witch, even if her personal story is a cautionary tale.

Agatha: Coven of Chaos will premiere in winter 2023 on Disney Plus.
