Avengers: Doomsday Promo Art Reveals Steve Rogers With Mjolnir

New promotional artwork for Marvel's Avengers: Doomsday highlights Steve Rogers wielding Mjolnir, alongside Professor X and a mysterious Latverian witch whose identity remains unconfirmed.

Buzz is still around Marvel Studios’ upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, with fresh promotional artwork showcasing some of the main players popping up online. The newest designs offer another glimpse of heroes and enigmatic characters slated to appear in the highly anticipated crossover film, including Steve Rogers, Professor X, and one of the mysterious Latverian witches.

One of the new characters included is Professor Charles Xavier, played by Patrick Stewart. The piece portrays the iconic X-Men commander in his wheelchair, a nod to the character's look in the first X-Men movies. While the stylish design gets all the praise, there’s also debate over which wheelchair Marvel has chosen to showcase.

Some versions of Professor X featured a more famous yellow flying chair that some fans preferred.

However, the artwork seems to feature a design closer to the traditional wheelchair seen in earlier X-Men movies. The character's look is recognizable, but it will be intriguing to watch how Marvel integrates this version of Charles Xavier into the wider picture. The promotional artwork also features a strange Latverian witch who wields green magic. Her identity hasn't been officially confirmed, but rumors are already swirling around two potential characters: Sylvie or Death.

The green magic energy around the persona has sparked many theories about who she is, with Death as a likely candidate. But there’s no concrete indication that either character is hiding behind the artwork. Marvel may also be purposely keeping the character’s name under wraps to save a surprise for the film. Or the character could've been modified in production.

Marvel has changed movies in reshoots and post-production before, though, so promotional material doesn’t always show everything. Whoever this mysterious witch is, bringing in Latverian witches could add some interesting magical elements to the next crossover. One major highlight of the new artwork could be Steve Rogers wielding Mjolnir.

One of the most anticipated things about Avengers: Doomsday is the return of Chris Evans’ Captain America, especially after his last appearance wielding Thor’s hammer in Avengers: Endgame.

Interestingly, the advertising artwork seems to show Mjolnir in two different states. Some artwork displays the hammer with noticeable cracks and damage, whereas the latest design depicts it as fully undamaged. This discrepancy has raised questions about whether the firearm's condition matters in the film. Then again, there were probably post-production alterations; thus, there are several versions of the promo art.

But to one has clarified the contradiction. Yet rumors also suggest Steve Rogers may end up sporting a Thor-inspired costume, possibly giving him a new look as he wields Mjolnir. For now, the latest artwork offers another tantalizing peek at his comeback, though Marvel has yet to reveal full details of his role. As additional promotional material rolls out, Avengers: Doomsday is slowly generating interest in its returning heroes and enigmatic new characters.
