New Avengers: Doomsday Report Explains Peggy’s Switch to the Dark Side

A recent rumor suggests that Peggy Carter will play a significant, and surprising, role in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie. The rumor claims she may even become a villain, teaming up with Doctor Doom. While Marvel hasn’t confirmed Hayley Atwell’s involvement, reports indicate she’ll appear, potentially as multiple versions of the character, in the film.

Here’s why Peggy could join Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday

A new rumor suggests Peggy Carter will appear as a villain in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie. Apparently, she sides with Doctor Doom because she thinks his plans are the only way to save the multiverse.

Alex Perez, a well-known source of information about the Marvel Cinematic Universe from Cosmic Circus, recently held a question-and-answer session with fans. He discussed the upcoming movies Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, and when asked if a version of Peggy Carter would play a villainous, magic-wielding role – specifically a character called a “Doom Witch” – in the films, he responded.

Perez explained that the character is more of a supporter of Doctor Doom than a villain herself. She isn’t working with him because she dislikes anyone, but because she genuinely believes his plans will help her and her son resolve the problems in the multiverse – problems Perez partly blames on decisions Steve Rogers made at the end of Avengers: Endgame.

A fan recently asked about a rumor started by a reliable source, MyTimeToShineHello, between January 19th and 21st, 2026. This rumor originally claimed Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter would battle in the movie Avengers: Doomsday. The source later specified that the fight would be between a heroic version of Rogers and a villainous version of Carter.

The source then proposed a scenario where Rogers could fight a version of Carter who was like Doctor Doom. However, a few days later, they changed their claim, stating it wouldn’t be a Doom-like Carter, but rather someone who followed or assisted her – a sort of apprentice.

For now, everything is just guesswork. We’ll all have to wait until the movie is released to find out exactly what role Peggy Carter will play.

Avengers: Doomsday premieres in theaters on December 18, 2026.
